Stripped (Rolling Stones album)

Stripped is a live album by the English rock band The Rolling Stones released in November 1995 after the Voodoo Lounge Tour. It contains six live tracks and eight studio recordings. The live tracks were taken from four 1995 performances, at three small venues, and include a cover of Bob Dylan's "Like a Rolling Stone", which was the first single from the album. The remaining eight tracks were acoustic studio re-recordings of songs from the Stones' previous catalogue, the exception being a cover of Willie Dixon's "Little Baby". The studio performances were recorded "live," i.e., without overdubs.

Overview
The two studio sessions took place from 3–5 March 1995 at Toshiba-EMI Studios in Tokyo, Japan and 23–26 July 1995 at Estudios Valentim De Carvalho in Lisbon, Portugal, while the live recordings are from 26 and 27 May, 3 July, and 19 July 1995 performances at three small concert venues: Paradiso, L'Olympia, and Brixton Academy, respectively.

Some CD versions of Stripped included an enhanced portion for viewing on a computer, including videos of rehearsals of "Tumbling Dice" and "Shattered" and an alternate performance of "Like a Rolling Stone", and interviews with Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts and Ronnie Wood.

Stripped was well-received and reached No. 9 in the UK and the US, where it went platinum. The lead single, a cover of Dylan's "Like a Rolling Stone", reached No. 12 in the UK, and became a rock radio hit in the US. It was followed by "Wild Horses" in early 1996.

Stripped was the Rolling Stones' second album with Virgin Records.

Totally Stripped
On 3 June 2016, Totally Stripped, an expanded and reconceived edition of Stripped featuring a documentary film about the original project, was released in multiple formats. These included DVD or Blu-ray documentary-only editions, as well as DVD/Blu-ray & CD and DVD/Blu-ray & LP editions adding a single disc or double-LP of concert highlights (distinct from the tracks that comprised the original album) to the film. The selection of live highlights included 13 previously unreleased performances and one track from the original CD. A limited edition five-disc version (4 DVDs & 1 CD or 4 Blu-ray discs & 1 CD) of the expanded album added three DVD or SD Blu-ray films of the complete concerts and a 60-page booklet to the documentary and the newly compiled CD of concert highlights.
