\u2018Sticky Fingers\u2019 has been repeatedly hailed as one of the Stones\u2019 all-time great albums, capturing their trademark combination of swagger and tenderness in a superb collection. It continued the incredible outpouring of creative energy that had produced 1968\u2019s \u2018Beggars Banquet\u2019 and \u2018Let It Bleed\u2019 in 1969. After \u2018Sticky Fingers\u2019, the Stones\u2019 relocation to the south of France led to the double album masterpiece \u2018Exile On Main St.\u2019 The highly acclaimed \u2018Sticky Fingers\u2019 showcased the ever more inventive song writing of Mick Jagger and Keith Richards and formidable guitar licks from Mick Taylor.\r
\r
The new editions of \u2018Sticky Fingers\u2019 follow the worldwide critical and commercial success of the Stones\u2019 two previous deluxe reissues, for \u2018Exile\u2019 itself (which took the album back to No. 1 in the UK in 2010, 38 years after it first topped the chart) and the 1978 classic \u2018Some Girls,\u2019 repackaged in 2011. \r
\r
As with those expanded releases, millions of Stones devotees will be hugely excited by not only the original album but the generous selection of previously unavailable material contained within the Deluxe and Super Deluxe formats. These include the alternative version of the chart-topping single \u2018Brown Sugar\u2019 featuring Eric Clapton; unreleased interpretations of \u2018Bitch,\u2019 \u2018Can\u2019t You Hear Me Knocking\u2019 and \u2018Dead Flowers\u2019; an acoustic take on the anthemic \u2018Wild Horses\u2019, and five tracks recorded live at The Roundhouse in 1971 including \u2018Honky Tonk Women\u2019 and \u2018Midnight Rambler.\u2019\r

\r
The first sessions that led to \u2018Sticky Fingers\u2019 took place as far back as December 1969, in the remote location of Muscle Shoals Sound Studios, Alabama. The band then reconvened, back home in the UK both at Olympic and with the Rolling Stones Mobile parked up at Mick Jagger\u2019s Stargroves home.\r
\r
On April 23, 1971, 504 days after that first session in Alabama, \u2018Sticky Fingers\u2019 was released, cheered on by media and public alike. \u201cIt is the latest beautiful chapter in the continuing story of the greatest rock group in the world,\u201d wrote Rolling Stone.\r
\r
As the album hit the shops that spring, \u2018Brown Sugar\u2019 hit the charts, and by early May, \u2018Sticky Fingers\u2019 had become the band\u2019s sixth UK #1 LP. Its four-week reign was matched by its performance in the US, and it also raced to the top in Australia, Canada and through much of Europe. As the aura grew around this essential part of the Stones\u2019 epic story, the album was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame and became one of their four titles in the top 100 of Rolling Stone\u2019s critics\u2019 poll of the 500 greatest albums of all time.\r
\r
The welcome reappearance of \u2018Sticky Fingers\u2019 will not only restate the pre-eminence of this album landmark, but add even greater distinction to perhaps the greatest catalogue in rock music.\r
