Keith Richards Revisiting 1992 Solo LP ‘Main Offender’ for 30th Anniversary in March (Pre-Order)

Though it was released to positive reviews, Main Offender didn’t quite catch on in the same way as Richards’ debut solo record, 1988’s Talk is Cheap, and he wouldn’t release another solo album until 2015’s Crosseyed Heart.

Still, Main Offender is a crucial part of Richards’ musical oeuvre and is deserving of such a lavish revisiting, so be sure to check out this 30th anniversary edition.
