| The third and final installment of ABKCO's singles boxed sets will come out on March 1 in the United States, and probably the day before in Europe. It will boast nine individual CDs, starting with "Jumpin' Jack Flash"/"Child of the Moon," as well as a DVD featuring the video for "Jumpin' Jack Flash," the 1964 Ed Sullivan Show performance of "Time Is On My Side," and a live Royal Albert Hall Sept. 1966 clip of "Have You Seen Your Mother Baby, Standing in the Shadow?" One of the CDs will be devoted entirely to "Sympathy for the Devil," including the original 1968 version released as a U.K. single in 1976, and three recent remixes. |
