Metamorphosis (The Rolling Stones album) Metamorphosis (The Rolling Stones album) Metamorphosis is the third compilation album of The Rolling Stones music released by former manager Allen Klein's ABKCO Records (who usurped control of the band's Decca/London material in 1970) after the band's departure from Decca and Klein. Released in 1975, "Metamorphosis" centres on outtakes and alternate versions of well-known songs recorded from 1964 to 1970. After the release of "Hot Rocks 1964–1971" in 1971, an album titled "Necrophilia" was compiled for release as the follow-up, with the aid of Andrew Loog Oldham, featuring many previously unreleased (or, more accurately, discarded) outtakes from the Rolling Stones'
Rolling Stones Records from 1978 to 1984. In 1986 Columbia Records started distributing it in the United States and CBS for the rest of the world until 1991. It was discontinued in 1992 when the band signed to Virgin Records, but the tongue-and-lips logo remains on all post-1970 Rolling Stones releases. In its original concept, the label was thought of as a way for members of the Rolling Stones to release solo albums. The first album to be released was "Brian Jones Presents the Pipes of Pan at Joujouka" in 1971, which is widely credited with being the first world music LP. In
