The Rolling Stones have signed a worldwide recording deal with Universal Music Group.

New recordings by the Rolling Stones will be released by Universal Music Group’s Polydor label through UMG companies around the world.

“Universal are forward thinking, creative and hands-on music people. We really look forward to working with them,” The Stones said.

Full digital and physical rights are part of the agreement, and Universal Music Group will begin planning an unprecedented, long-term campaign to reposition the Rolling Stones’ entire catalogue for the digital age.

In March, Universal Music Group released the soundtrack album from “Shine A Light,” director Martin Scorsese’s film of the Rolling Stones’ acclaimed 2006 performance at the Beacon Theatre in New York.
