Eight of The Rolling Stones’ records—six full length albums and two EPs—have been released in Dolby Atmos by ABKCO Music & Records. All the titles are now available to stream across Apple Music, TIDAL and Amazon in the audio format for the first time ever.
The releases getting the Dolby treatment include Let It Bleed, which marked the transition between Brian Jones and Mick Taylor on guitar and featured hits like “Gimme Shelter” and “You Can’t Always Get What You Want”; and The 1964 LP England’s Newest Hit Makers, which gathered the group’s rendition of American hits by the likes of Chuck Berry and Bo Diddley, is also among the reissue—the record features the group’s first-ever US Top 40 hit, “Heart Of Stone.” In the 1960s, it was standard practice for an artist to release records with different tracklists in the US and UK—both versions of the groups The Rolling Stones record, The Rolling Stones No. 2 and The Rolling Stones, Now!, the latter of which featured the Billboard Hot 100 hit “Heart Of Stone,” are both among the reissued titles.
The Rolling Stones are the latest artists to see highlights from their catalog reissued in Dolby Atmos thanks to ABKCO. The label has also reissued releases from The Animals and Sam Cooke in Dolby in recent years. This fall, ABKCO will release even more Rolling Stones titles in Dolby Atmos, including US and UK versions of 1965’s Out Of Our Heads; 1968’s Beggars Banquet; and 1965’s December’s Children (And Everybody’s).
The Rolling Stones released their most recent new album, Hackney Diamonds, in 2023—it marked their first new record since 2005. It won a Grammy Award for Best Rock Album, and marked the 14th record from the band to top the UK charts upon release.
