Rolling Stones announced an album in the form of an advertisement for a glass company – Kommersant

British band Rolling Stones announced the release of the album Hackney Diamonds in the form of an advertisement for a fictitious glass repair company of the same name. The Times. This will be their first album containing original compositions since 2005’s A Bigger Bang.

The group ran an ad on the third page of the local newspaper, the Hackney Gazette. The ad says that the glass company’s new store will open next month, along with a phone number to call for prices. If you dial the number, you can hear the recorded message: “Welcome to Hackney Diamonds, a glass repair company. Don’t be angry, fix everything – we open in early September at Mare Street, E8. Register to call at www.hackneydiamonds.com.”

A site linked to Universal Music shows readers the same information as in an ad in the Hackney Gazette. There are several other references to the group in the publication. In particular, instead of a dot above the letter i, the Rolling Stines logo is drawn in the form of a tongue, and the titles of her songs “Satisfaction”, “Gimme Shelter”, “Shattered” are mentioned in the text of the advertisement. The indicated date of foundation of the company coincides with the year the group was created – 1962. The exact date of the release of the album is not given.
