Keith Richards: Rare Christmas track!

Keith Richards will release rare versions of the Chuck Berry classic Run Rudolph Run, and Toots And The Maytals' Pressure Drop on December 11.

The tracks will be exclusively available from iTunes.

Keef recorded Run Rudolph Run at Island Studios in 1979 while mixing the tracks for The Stones, Love You Live. A limited edition 7" (his first solo single) was released later that year. Pressure Drop was cut in the summer of 2003 during the New York sessions for The Maytals, True Love LP.

What other rare Christmas tunes would you really like to see pulled from the archives?

  • The original 7" of "Run Rudolf Run" had Jimmy Cliff's " The Harder They Come" as the B-side. It never seemed to be in full print just kind of appeared in cooler record stores at the time.

    Happy Holidays,
