August 24, 1981 –
Rolling Stones Records released the 16th British and 18th American studio album by The Rolling Stones, Tattoo You, on this date.
The Rolling Stones were getting ready for a contractual world tour and the band was barely speaking to one another by late 1980. To promote their worldwide American Tour 1981/European Tour 1982, the band’s production team combed through unused recordings from prior sessions, some dating back almost a decade, to come up with songs for the album.
