Eagle Rock to release Stones DVDs

Classic rock DVD experts Eagle Rock Entertainment have announced a deal with the Rolling Stones, which will see them release two DVDs with the band later this year.

The first will be a documentary called 'Stones In Exile' which will document the making of the 1972 Stones album 'Exile On Main Street', and which will be released alongside a BBC airing of a version of the doc and a re-release of the album. The second is 'Ladies And Gentlemen... The Rolling Stones', the band's concert movie also originally from 1972, which has now been fully restored from the original film.

Eagle Rock's Geoff Kempin told CMU: "We are delighted to add a band of such unparalleled calibre as the Rolling Stones to our catalogue and are delighted to be bring our customers a pair of such important and high quality titles".

The movie was shown in theaters in 1974, but has never been officially released in any form, though it has been bootlegged for years. This is the Stones at their best, and I can't wait to see it on the big screen.

But for now.... the boots are still out there -----> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uL2Ee12HrCU

1. I am glad they're going back to the vault for these two.

I wasn't impressed with the Scorcese DVD that came out a few years ago.

2. How about Cocksucker Blues?

When's that coming out in Blu-Ray?

3. I don't know if they could possibly clean that grainy film up enough for Blu-Ray

I know the Stones must own the master copy of that one though, because bits and pieces of it did turn up in the band's "25x5" documentary they made in 1989.

4. Excellent...I only have a 4th generation VHS bootleg of Ladies and Gentlemen

5. Such a great movie

Saw it at many a midnight movie in the late 70s. I wish I had been able to attend a concert in the 72 tour. But, alas, I was only 10.
