You are listening to the genuine Hi-Fi stereo sound transferred from the actual vinyl record in the best possible quality.

Hackney Diamonds is the 24th British and 26th American studio album by the English rock band the Rolling Stones, released on 20 October 2023 on Polydor. It is the first album of original material by the Rolling Stones since 2005's A Bigger Bang and their first since the 2021 death of drummer Charlie Watts, who contributed to some tracks in 2019. Produced by Andrew Watt, it features guest contributions from Elton John, Lady Gaga, Paul McCartney, Stevie Wonder, and former Rolling Stones bassist Bill Wyman.
The album's name is London slang for the shattered glass left behind after burglars have smashed a window to break in, Hackney being an inner-city area of London historically associated with a high crime rate. Richards stated it refers to broken glass left over in the morning after "a good Saturday night that went bad".
Hackney Diamonds received positive reviews, with some critics considering it the band's strongest album in decades. It was promoted by the singles "Angry", "Sweet Sounds of Heaven", and "Mess It Up". It reached number one in at least 19 countries including the UK, Australia, and Germany. In the UK it was their 14th album to reach the top of the charts, reaching the number of 72,200 certified chart units in its first week in the charts, going Gold for the sales of over 100,000 units within four weeks since its release. As global sales were equally strong weeks after the release of the albums, the Gold awards soon followed in Germany, France, and Holland, amongst others. In Germany, Hackney Diamonds was officially pronounced the best-selling album of 2023.
