The Rolling Stones To Re-Release One Of The Band's Most Important Albums

The Rolling Stones To Re-Release One Of The Band's Most Important Albums

Forbes08-04-2025

The Rolling Stones are still together, more than six decades into the musician's time together. That is, on its own, an incredible feat that very few groups can claim. The fact that there's still an audience for their music – for anything at all – is remarkable. The group could be headed back to the charts in the United States later this spring, but not with a brand new effort or even a recent single. Instead, the rock outfit is resharing one of its earliest releases, as a special version of Out of Our Heads is coming on Record Store Day 2025.
As part of this year's Record Store Day, the British legends are reissuing Out of Our Heads, a title that helped kick off one of the earlier eras of the band's career. The new pressing will be limited to just 6,500 copies, which is a large number for many acts, but a rather small one for a group as beloved as the Rolling Stones still are to this day.
That figure may even prove to be large enough to push a catalog release onto several Billboard charts, if many of them sell at the same time – something that's far from impossible. Vinyl exclusives like this regularly appear on the company's rankings, such as the Top Album Sales and Vinyl Albums charts, and if interest is high enough, the collection could even find its way to the Billboard 200.
This latest edition of Out of Our Heads is being pressed on clear vinyl and features a custom design. It's been mastered from the original tapes, which makes it a dream for collectors, audiophiles, and longtime fans who've been with the band since the beginning. The only catch is that it's available exclusively at physical retailers on Record Store Day.
Out of Our Heads marked an important moment in the band's discography, and in rock history in general. Released in 1965, the set arrived at different times and in slightly different forms in the U.S. and the U.K. In America, it served as The Rolling Stones' fourth album and the band's first No. 1 on the Billboard 200. In the group's home country, it was the third official release, and it peaked at No. 2.
The album features a blend of covers and original compositions, as the band was still transitioning away from the blues and R&B tunes that launched the troupe to stardom. Out of Our Heads marked the beginning of a shift toward songwriting, with Jagger and Richards stepping up in a big way and showing what they could do. That evolution proved to be a turning point for the outfit.
Perhaps more than anything else, Out of Our Heads is remembered as the album that introduced the world to one of the greatest songs of all time. '(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction' is often hailed as The Rolling Stones' definitive track, and its inclusion on the set helped push the band to another level of success, both commercially and critically. Rolling Stone has named it one of the greatest songs of all time, and it became the band's first No. 1 on the Hot 100.

Man arrested and charged after storming the stage at a Katy Perry concert

A man has been arrested and charged after storming the stage at a Katy Perry concert. The American singer, 40, was perfroming at Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney as part of her The Lifetimes World Tour on Monday when the incident occured. Footage circulated online captured the moment that Johnson Wen – known online as Pyjama Man – crashed her rendition of 2008 hit, Hot N Cold. Wen could be seen running up to her and grabbing her shoulder, while excitedly jumping up and down, before he was then escorted off stage. For her part Perry - who is engaged to 48-year-old British actor Orlando Bloom - looked furious. She then told the confused crowd: 'Well, there's never going to be another show like this, so just enjoy it, Sydney.' Adding: 'What the hell is going on?' According to 9News, he was arrested after the incident, and taken to Auburn Police Station. Wen was eventually charged with entering enclosed lands, as well as obstructing a person in the performance of their work or duty. After being granted conditional bail, he was issued with a six-month ban from entering the Sydney Olympic Park Precinct, and is due to appear at Burwood Local Court on June 23. Speaking to the Australian news outlet afterwards, Wen claimed his stage invasion had been for fun and went on to recall how Perry had 'freaked out' when she saw him. 'I said, 'Let me get on stage with you', then she freaked out because she realised I wasn't a performer,' he explained. 'I was about to do like extra Fortnite moves but security got there too quick.' This isn't the first time that Wen has done something like this. He was previously banned from the Olympic Park for crashing the Weeknd's concert, and also invaded arenas at the Olympics, the Women's World Cup and the Cricket World Cup final. Wen has now vowed to mend his ways, adding: 'I'm planning to quit forever because you get in way too much trouble for it. Especially me, because I've done it so many times.'

Kate Middleton Stands By Prince William As Harry's Actions Leave 'Deep' Wounds, Royal Expert Says

Kate Middleton reportedly has no plans to reconcile with Prince Harry, as she chooses to stand by her husband, Prince William, amid ongoing tensions. Kate and Harry once shared a close bond, but their relationship soured after the duke and his wife, Meghan Markle's public criticisms of the royal family. Kate Middleton was reportedly heartbroken by the fallout with Prince Harry and the duchess, especially as she battled health challenges. Kate reportedly has no intention of initiating any reconciliation with Harry, choosing instead to remain firmly aligned with William. According to Us Weekly, the Prince and Princess of Wales are increasingly frustrated and "just don't understand why Harry doesn't stay quiet" after the royal exit. However, royal commentator Kinsey Schofield shared a different perspective with Fox News Digital, suggesting William's hurt stems from his desire to shield his wife from Harry's actions. "Catherine has been nothing but supportive of her husband – and that's exactly why Prince William is so deeply hurt," Schofield noted. He continued, "His pain doesn't come from personal insults or headlines. It comes from his instinct to protect the woman he loves… But what cuts the deepest is Harry's treatment of Catherine. She's always loved him, always treated him like a little brother. That's the betrayal William won't forget… But Harry never seems to think about the consequences." Meanwhile, British broadcaster and photographer Helena Chard told the publication that Kate has been quietly heartbroken over the ongoing rift between William and Harry, but has no plans to enter the drama. "Catherine and Harry shared a fun humor and were often seen giggling together at events," Chard shared. She continued, "Sadly and upsettingly, Princess Catherine was dragged into the public negative narrative, which was a real smack around the face for the kind of sister-in-law who tried hard to be the peacemaker between the brothers." The tension that has grown since Harry and Meghan departed from royal life further deepened following Harry's explosive memoir "Spare" and Meghan's 2021 Oprah Winfrey interview, during which she claimed Kate made her cry ahead of the royal wedding. According to a source cited by Us Weekly, Kate was deeply affected by the accusation. "The reframing of events upset her, and making up a narrative that Kate is mean was devastating," the source claimed. "She can't retaliate, and Meghan knows that." Chard told Fox News Digital that while Kate and Meghan never had much in common, the Princess of Wales was genuinely pleased when Harry found love. "Princess Catherine was happy when Prince Harry met Meghan," Chard noted. "She was thrilled that Prince Harry seemed genuinely happy… The three musketeers became the 'Fab Four'… Princess Catherine [silently] cannot understand why Prince Harry still won't bite his tongue and continues his destructive path." But that harmony didn't last. Chard explained that Kate entered "protection mode" as the "Sussexes aired more and more allegations, grievances, and untruths against members of the British royal family." "Her goals have been protecting the crown, future-proofing the monarchy, [honoring] the late Queen Elizabeth II's legacy, and protecting her children from Prince Harry's hurtful commentary," Chard added. After years of trying to bridge the gap, Kate has now also stepped back from "any role of attempting to mediate a reconciliation" between the brothers, royal expert Fordwich explained. "She and William are now totally at one regarding hypocritical Harry. She's far more focused on her health and family. She's rather hurt," Fordwich stated. In his memoir "Spare," Harry paints an affectionate picture of his early relationship with Kate. He described the princess as "a fantastic girl" and even joked about their dynamic, saying, "I'm really looking forward to getting her under my wing. She'll be taking me under her wing, probably." Harry recalled feeling genuinely close to Kate, writing: "I loved my new sister-in-law. I felt she was more sister than in-law, the sister I'd never had and always wanted, and I was pleased that she'd forever be standing by Willy's side. They made each other visibly happy, and therefore I was happy too." The duke wrote about their first meeting, noting that it left a lasting impression on him. He remembered her as "carefree, sweet, and kind," noting her love for photography, art, and fashion. "She'd done a gap year in Florence," he wrote. "She loved clothes… I liked seeing Kate laugh. Better yet, I liked making her laugh. And I was quite good at it." Unfortunately, as things stand, it is unlikely Harry and Kate's relationship would ever return to the way it once was.
