BMG is honored to announce Keith Richards has signed a new worldwide deal to bring his solo recordings catalog to BMG. The agreement now brings together Richards\u2019 1978 debut solo single and four solo albums from 1988-2010, alongside his publishing that BMG has represented since 2013.<\/p>\n

In celebration of the 40th\u00a0anniversary of Richards\u2019 debut solo release, a 1978 recording of the Christmas classic \u2018Run Rudolph Run\u2019, BMG will release a limited edition 45rpm 12\u201d on red vinyl, remixed and remastered by longtime collaborator Steve Jordan. The November 23rd\u00a0North American Record Store Day exclusive includes a cover of Jimmy Cliff\u2019s \u2018The Harder They Come\u2019, a version of \u2018Pressure Drop\u2019 featuring Toots & The Maytals, and a \u201cSanta Keith\u201d holiday card featuring a greeting from Richards himself.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Keith Richards said, \u201cLooking forward to working with Hartwig Masuch and\u00a0everyone at BMG.\u201d<\/p>\n

BMG CEO Hartwig Masuch, \u201cIt has been a pleasure to build a relationship with Keith and his exceptional team over the past five years. It is a real honor now to extend that relationship even further to work with his classic solo releases.\u201d<\/p>\n

BMG EVP Global Catalogue Recordings Peter Stack said, \u201cThis agreement paves the way for a \u00a0reappraisal and repositioning of the solo work of one of rock \u2018n\u2019 roll\u2019s true originals and arguably its most pre-eminent guitarist. Fans can expect a programme of releases which truly does justice to these great recordings.\u201d<\/p>\n

Released in 1988, Richards\u2019 debut solo album, the Gold-certified\u00a0Talk Is Cheap, featured the Top 5 US rock hit \u2018Take It So Hard\u2019, Top 20 US rock hit \u2018You Don\u2019t Move Me\u2019, and single \u2018Struggle\u2019. Co-writing every song on the album, Richards teamed up with Steve Jordan to co-produce the album featuring his band the \u201cX-Pensive Winos\u201d.<\/p>\n

During pre-production of his follow-up studio album in 1991, Richards released\u00a0Live At The Hollywood Palladium, December 15, 1988, a live set recorded during the\u00a0Talk Is Cheap Tour. Featuring performances with his band the X-Pensive Winos, the album includes a collection of songs from\u00a0Talk Is Cheap\u00a0and several of his Rolling Stones vocal highlights, which would go on to sell more than 100,000 copies in the US alone.<\/p>\n

Once again pairing with Jordan to co-produce and co-write his next album, Richards added Waddy Wachtel to the mix and returned with his second studio effort,\u00a0Main Offender, in 1992. Notching another pair of US rock chart hits, the Top 5 \u2018Wicked As It Seems\u2019 and Top 20 \u2018Eileen\u2019,\u00a0Main Offender\u00a0would be his last solo studio release for 23 years, following a nearly year-long tour in support.<\/p>\n

In 2010, the\u00a0Vintage Vinos\u00a0compilation was released featuring a collection of solo and live tracks from\u00a0Talk Is Cheap,\u00a0Live at the Hollywood Palladium, December 15, 1988, and\u00a0Main\u00a0Offender, including the bonus song \u2018Hurricane\u2019, recorded during the Rolling Stones\u2019 sessions for\u00a0Forty Licks\u00a0in 2002.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
