Rolling Stones Greatest Hits, 'Forty Licks', Due Oct. 1 - Four New Songs Included

NEW YORK (Rolling Stones Fans Website) - The Rolling Stones greatest hits collection, the two-disc Forty Licks, is set for an Oct. 1 release on EMI's Virgin Records. Four new songs have been recorded with producer Don Was for inclusion on the set as well.

Each disc (the first CD includes hits released on the ABKCO label, and the second disc contains the Virgin Records hits) will include 20 digitally remastered songs, such as "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction," "Ruby Tuesday," "Brown Sugar," "Miss You," "Start Me Up," "Gimme Shelter," "Get Off My Cloud," "Paint It Black," and "Happy."

The label won't be revealing the full track listing for the album. And, only one title of the four new songs has been revealed: "Don't Stop." The track will be released as a single from the album, according to an EMI rep.

Meanwhile, the release of the Rolling Stones Remastered Series has been delayed a week to Aug. 27, due to production issues, according to a spokesperson for the project.

The Stones kick off their world tour on Sept. 3 at Boston's FleetCenter with various opening acts along the way, including No Doubt and the Pretenders. Dates run through Feb. 1, 2003.
