Keith Richards‘ previously unreleased concert album, Winos Live In London ‘92, which is part of the recent deluxe edition of his second album, Main Offender, is now streaming in Sony’s 360 Reality Audio through Amazon Music’s Unlimited tier.
“To take this unreleased live performance from 30 years ago and put it out now, I knew we had to do something exciting,” says Richards. “Live music has a different feel and a different sound – it’s about the experience. Hearing Winos Live in London ‘92 in 360 Reality Audio really makes it feel like you’re back in the room at the Town & Country Club with the sound moving all around you.”
Among the 12 tracks are two Rolling Stones covers — “Happy” and “Gimme Shelter.”
The deluxe reissue of Main Offender follows last year’s Live At The Hollywood Palladium and the 2019 reissue of his first solo album, Talk Is Cheap. Here is Keith Richards on why he recorded his second album, Main Offender.
“Main Offender came about because we enjoyed making Talk Is Cheap so much and we realized that we were no where finished finding out what we could do together with the Winos. And also because you want to test yourself against the very best, you know. In a way I suppose that was part of me doing solo albums in the first place because it’s not in my nature to be a frontman.”
