The Rolling Stones announce ‘Voodoo Lounge’ 30th anniversary editions

The album features four tracks available for the first time on streaming platforms

To mark the 30th anniversary of the Rolling Stones’ Grammy-winning 1994 album Voodoo Lounge, special editions in both physical and digital formats are being released this summer. The release includes four additional tracks marking their debut on streaming services.

The new editions, available starting on July 12th, celebrate a studio set that sold more than six million copies worldwide including Stones favorites “You Got Me Rocking,” “Out Of Tears,” and the UK top 20 single “Love Is Strong,” and went on to win a Grammy Award for Best Rock Album.

The 30th anniversary releases, which will be augmented with a merch range, are a 2 LP red and yellow vinyl edition, and a separate 2 LP red and yellow vinyl which adds a white vinyl ten-inch disc featuring the four bonus tracks. Like the album, these were all Jagger-Richards compositions, all but one written at Windmill Lane Studios in Dublin at the end of recording sessions for Voodoo Lounge.

The quartet of songs available for the first time on streaming platforms comprises “I’m Gonna Drive,” the original B-side of the “Out Of Tears” single, with a sterling slide guitar part by Ronnie Wood; the rollicking “So Young,” which had its origins in the 1978 Some Girls sessions; “Jump On Top Of Me,” the B-side of “You Got Me Rocking;” and “The Storm,” another flipside that evoked the Stones’ unbreakable bond with Chicago blues.
