Stones hits like Angie and Miss You will be available
|
The Rolling Stones are making their music available on the internet for the first time.
Songs from the band's 40-year career will be accessible through the RealNetworks Rhapsody service and retailer Best Buy for two weeks.
After that, the Stones' music on the EMI/Virgin labels will be offered through EMI's digital distribution services.
The band's complicated recording history - their earliest music was licensed to manager's Allen Klein's ABKCO label - means that this earlier material will be available only for streaming and not for download via Rhapsody.
But songs from 1971 onwards - when the band had formed their own label - will be available for download and burning on to CD, as well as for streaming.
This includes hit songs such as Angie, Miss You, Start Me Up and It's Only Rock & Roll.
