The newly remastered and expanded 40th anniversary reissue includes nine extra songs as part of a Lost & Found: Rarities disc, recorded during the same era as the original 11-track album.

Among the other archived tracks is “Living In The Heart Of Love”, a quintessential Stones rock work-out; a “killer version” of “Shame, Shame, Shame”, first recorded in 1963 by one of the band’s blues heroes, Jimmy Reed; their reading of Dobie Gray’s “Drift Away”; their cover of The Chi-Lites“Troubles A’ Comin”; and a reggae-tinged version of “Start Me Up”.

The 40th anniversary edition of Tattoo You – originally released on August 24, 1981 – also comes with Still Life: Wembley Stadium 1982, a 26-track live album from the band’s London show in June of that year on the Tattoo You tour.

The Wembley show includes covers of the Temptations“Just My Imagination”, Eddie Cochran’s “Twenty Flight Rock”, the Miracles“Going To A Go Go” and more. It also features early live airings for tracks from the then-new Tattoo You, such as “Start Me Up”, “Neighbours”, “Little T&A” and “Hang Fire”.

The Rolling Stones are currently in the US on their ‘No Filter’ tour which will next stop in Florida on October 29. It’s their first time out on the road since the passing of drummer Charlie Watts.
