Three historic Rolling Stones live albums, all previously out on DVD, are now being released as standalone CDs for the first time.

Ladies & Gentleman was recorded in Texas on the 1972 Exile On Main Street US Tour and is considered by fans to be one of the Rolling Stones’ finest ever performances.

Some Girls: Live In Texas ‘78 was also recorded in Texas, this time at the Will Rogers Memorial Center in Fort Worth, shortly after the Some Girls album had hit the #1 spot on the US album charts.

Checkerboard Lounge: Live In Chicago 1981 captures a very special night in the middle of the Stones mammoth 1981 US tour when the band turned up on their “night off” at Buddy Guy’s Checkerboard Lounge blues club in Chicago where Muddy Waters was playing. Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Ronnie Wood and Ian Stewart all joined in the performance for a truly memorable night.
