The name Hackney Diamonds does not appear on the leaked artwork, but was mentioned by the artwork designer.

Not uncommon that artwork and cover design/package has different input and authors

Hey Londoners: What is the implication of "Hackney?" What kind of place is it and is there any prior stones connection? Thanks.

omg... there are one or two songs we need to skip when we play the upcoming record... "It will feature Paul McCartney on one, maybe two tracks." (source [www.noise11.com])
The Stones do have a bass player right? Why let this clown on the record? if it was any other of the other band ok, but not Paul the Quakert...

I'm still trying to process how this is news to you. We had a 704-page thread that outlined all rumors, possibilities, photos of guests at times, and the discussion of possibly BOTH surviving Beatles being on the album, yet now just weeks ahead of its release, you just hear of this? Guess ya don't check in here often, huh?

IDK, to me, the index finger is on the back side of the handle.

(And that's one long thumb!)

“British blues rock band”

Does the name and advertisement leave room for this to be the old songs reimagined and with guests?

Even the tagesschau is posting.

Not sure why they would do that.

The Hackney Gazette ad reminds me of this Paint it Black spoof ad for spray paint: IMAGE LINK

More and more I'm starting to love this title and graphics. A great throw back to the 1960's. Personally I believe this is the right approach for them, instead of trying to be faddish. The younger people will respect this too if they really like them for who they are. Come on Stones!!!

The Rolling Stones machine has always been good at the marketing aspect, no less so now than with the impending release of this album. To be honest, it's a bit of a masterstroke, very well thought out. Someone definitely has their finger on the pulse .........

Man, I loathed the No Filter tongue! Felt like they had a contest for 5yo's to draw their version and picked a winner. It was embarrassing IMO. That was a logo where I thought they were trying to hip, trendy, and current. To me it missed the mark. I, for one, love the new album artwork, and I do hope that is the cover, and there's an option to buy a litho of it! Would love to have the last album cover hanging on my wall! It would make a cool turntable topper too, but I really want the El Mo one for that - that's a great tongue!

Different strokes! But we are all agreed - getting new music from our boys is AWESOME!!!!

As the wise sage Richard of Keith once (ironically) opined..."Opinions are like *ssholes. Everyone's got one".

Something along those lines.

I looked at her work on Instagram and it looks like a lot of pictures display hands which are not necessarily anatomically correct. So it just part of her style I guess.

AI is rather notorious for having trouble portraying hands.

So, after registering, can we expect weekly e-mails to buy colored vinyl collector's editions of Hot Rocks and key fobs? Put another way, does anyone think that the band would actually distribute VIP tickets to club shows this way?

Perhaps they will introduce the new album in the Hackney Empire Theatre?
There is room in the first weeks of september in their program.
Program Hackney Empire

Looks like it (if this account is real): [www.instagram.com]

This account is followed by Matt Lee, I hope it's not only a coincidence!

More interesting than seeing who follows this account, you’ll see I follow too, is to see who this account follows!! Just 12 very well known people!!

McCartney's participation on this album will be the nodal point.
Everything else is secondary.

The advertisement appeared in the Hackney Gazette on 17-Aug-2023 - [www.HackneyGazette.co.uk] .

Even [www.GettyImages.co.uk] got it wrong in their description although the photo clearly shows this date.

I know, because my post was referring to the wrong date in Wikipedia.

The "Mare St" stuff in the advert is strangely specific in this context.

If I lived in the UK I'd be hanging around outside the Hackney Empire full time on those days listed as being 'available'.
