If you love both The Rolling Stones and Marvel Comics, you’re about to get a whole lot of satisfaction. The two iconic institutions are proving that movie theaters aren’t the only place to have an epic crossover event. The band is releasing five special vinyl versions of its new album, Foreign Tongues. Each The Rolling Stones x Marvel collab album will feature a different Marvel superhero and a matching comic insert.
The Rolling Stones and Marvel have assembled a special collection to promote the iconic group’s forthcoming album Foreign Tongues. U.S. music fans and superhero enthusiasts alike can now pre-order five vinyl variants of the record. Each celebrates one of five Marvel heroes. The lineup includes Spider-Man, Captain America, Wolverine, Thor, and The Hulk. (Star-Lord is going to be FURIOUS when he finds out he didn’t make the cut on a rock-n-roll/Marvel promotion.)
Every special vinyl also comes with a custom comic book insert featuring matching artwork by Marvel illustrators specifically designed for this release.
Each version of the Marvel albums will include the same 14-song record that The Rolling Stones recently announced. Foreign Tongues will arrive on July 10, the same day as these Marvel variant versions. The album features Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Ronnie Woo, and some very special guest appearances. In addition to longtime collaborators Darryl Jones, Steve Jordan, and Matt Clifford, you’ll also hear Steve Winwood, Paul McCartney, Robert Smith of The Cure, and Red Hot Chili Peppers’ Chad Smith. Best of all is that the album also includes the band’s longtime drummer, Charlie Watts. The record features music he recorded during what the band says was one of his final studio sessions before his passing in 2021.
The band has already released its first single from the record, “In the Stars.”
Is there any obvious connection between The Rolling Stones and Marvel superheroes? Obviously. Superheroes can live forever, no matter what they do. We’re pretty sure that whole concept is based on Keith Richards.
