Rolling Stones Slip Out Secret Single as 'The Cockroaches' in Scarce Vinyl Drop

The stealth release points to a likely July 10 album date.

Overview

  • The single, which appeared Saturday in select record shops, sold out within hours under the name The Cockroaches, a pseudonym the band used for small shows in 1977.
  • The record is a white 12-inch titled Rough and Twisted with roughly 10 to 15 copies per shop reported.
  • The campaign used salmon posters with a QR code that led to a Universal Music website listing GPS pins for participating stores.
  • The track is absent from major streaming services, with resale listings now around €1,000 to €1,500.
  • A band spokesman said no concerts are planned, tempering talk of surprise shows.
