Subject: MORE ON THE CD COLLECTION

NEW YORK, May 30 /PRNewswire/ -- The entirety of the Rolling Stones' album
catalog, originally released in the 60's and early '70's on ABKCO/London
Records (ABKCO/Decca in the rest of the world) has been meticulously restored
and will be re-released on a series of dual layer hybrid Super Audio discs
under the banner ABKCO's The Rolling Stones Remastered. Twenty-two albums
including Let It Bleed, Out of Our Heads, December's Children, Beggars
Banquet, 12x5 and The Rolling Stones, Now! are part of the most comprehensive
single artist re-issue series ever undertaken. Each disc has been encoded
with two layers -- one containing a normal CD program, the other Super Audio
CD program of the same repertoire. The idea is to provide complete backward
and forward compatibility for the consumer, as the albums are playable on
both SACD-compatible machines as well as standard CD players. Each dual
layer disc was remastered using Sony's Direct Stream Digital process
resulting in brilliant fidelity in both standard or SACD formats.

"Over the years, we have had many requests to re-issue these titles using the
latest digital remastering techniques," remarked ABKCO's Jody Klein who noted
that the albums were first released in the CD format in 1986. Klein, who
supervised the development of ABKCO's The Rolling Stones Remastered Series
stated, "Improvements in technology had only been incremental since then so
we didn't feel there was a compelling reason to go back to the market with
these classic albums -- until now." Klein cites DSD mastering which samples
the original audio signal 2,822,400 times per second, 64 times faster than
standard CD encoding, as one of the main catalysts for the series. "DSD more
accurately reflects the sonic quality of analog than any other medium so the
depth one hears on these discs in standard or SACD playback is quite amazing."

The restoration process for ABKCO's The Rolling Stones Remastered Series
started with hundreds of hours of painstaking research on both sides of the
Atlantic to determine the analog sources most true to the original Rolling
Stones studio recordings.

Final mastering for all albums was completed under the direction of the
legendary Bob Ludwig who commented, "While three generations of music fans,
myself included, are all quite familiar with the Stones' material, DSD has
afforded us the opportunity to showcase both their brilliance and rough edges
all over again in a meaningful way."

All 22 of the albums in ABKCO's The Rolling Stones Remastered Series,
highlighting such classic tracks as "Sympathy For The Devil," "Under My
Thumb," "Street Fighting Man," "Mother's Little Helper," "The Last Time" and,
of course, "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction," will be released August 20th with
Universal handling distribution worldwide. Suggested retail list price is
$18.98 for single disc packages.
