Keith Richards announces Main Offender 30th anniversary reissue Set to arrive in March, the special box set has been previewed by a live version of "How I Wish"
Tom Skinner 26th January 2022
Keith Richards has announced a 30th anniversary reissue of his second solo album Main Offender – see all the details below. Released back in October 1992, the record followed on from the Rolling Stones guitarist’s debut solo full-length, 1988’s Talk Is Cheap.
It was produced by Richards, Waddy Wachtel and Steve Jordan, the latter of whom drummed for the Stones on their recent US tour; the stint marked the legendary band’s first shows since the death of Charlie Watts.
On January 25, it was confirmed that Main Offender will arrive as an expanded, special deluxe box set on March 18 via BMG. You can pre-order the collection here in various formats.
The upcoming new version of the LP boasts previously unreleased recordings from Richards‘ Winos Live In London ‘92 show, which took place at the Town & Country Club in Kentish Town, London.
Additionally, the box set will come with an 88-page book with never-before-seen photos, reproductions of handwritten lyrics, reprinted essays from the album’s release and an archival envelope containing exact replicas of promo and tour materials from Richards’ archive.
In a statement, the musician explained: “This is the second time around & the Winos are kind of developing – and if I can keep those guys together for as long as I can, it’s one of the best bands in the world. It’s a very intriguing band and the potential is only just starting to show itself.
“If I hadn’t have taken the Winos on the road, this record would probably have been totally different than it is.”
He continued: “I tried to avoid making too much sense on this record because to me that ambiguity and mystery, and a little provocation to make you think, is something far more powerful and more important than just wagging your finger and saying, ‘I know what he’s saying don’t do this, do that.’
“If you’re a musician, silence is your canvas and you never want to fill-in the whole thing because then you’ve just covered it all… One of the most interesting parts about music is where you don’t play.”
The new Main Offender LP and CD were remastered under the supervision of original producer Steve Jordan, who also mixed and produced the bonus live album. See the artwork and tracklists below.

1. “999” 2. “Wicked As It Seems” 3. “Eileen” 4. “Words Of Wonder” 5. “Yap Yap” 6. “Bodytalks” 7. “Hate It When You Leave” 8. “Runnin’ Too Deep” 9. “Will But You Won’t” 10. “Demon”

Although I'm not a huge fan of this album, at this price, I had to bite. The Richards deluxe sets are very nicely put together. It's been a long time since I've listened to it, so maybe it'll have better appeal now. We'll see, I guess.
