Rolling Stones Release Back Catalog on iTunes
The Rolling Stones have released their entire catalog on iTunes as part of the band’s 50th anniversary celebration. According to Reuters, the new release spans the rockers’ history from their first single in 1963 (a cover of Chuck Berry’s “Come On”) to last year’s GRRR! compilation and includes all the band’s studio albums, live performances and compilations. In addition, the complete catalog is available in two chunks, from 1961-1971 and 1971-2013.

In addition to the release of their back catalog, the Rolling Stones are celebrating their anniversary with the “50 and Counting” tour and a headline set at Glastonbury on June 29th. They’ll also perform in Hyde Park in London for the first time since the death 44 years ago of guitarist Brian Jones.
The veteran rockers kicked off their largest tour in more than six years in L.A. last month and have made their way across North America with shows featuring special guests including Tom Waits, Dave Grohl, Taylor Swift, Carrie Underwood and Arcade Fire’s Win Butler.
