Among the album’s forty tracks will be classic hits, ‘(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction,’ ‘Jumpin’ Jack Flash,’ and ‘I Wanna Be Your Man’ – which was written for the band by John Lennon and Paul McCartney.
As well as a traditional 2-CD format, Universal believe that ‘Rolled Gold+,’ will become the first album to be released on USB card in the UK.
