What new songs were recorded for The Rolling Stones' GRRR! compilation?
The standard collection includes two then-new recordings, Doom and Gloom and One More Shot. Both were recorded for the band's 50th-anniversary period rather than taken from its 1960s or 1970s albums.
Why are there different versions of GRRR! with different track counts?
GRRR! was issued in multiple configurations, including 40-track and 50-track editions plus an expanded Super Deluxe set. Buyers should check the exact edition because the larger versions reach deeper into the Stones' catalog.

Yes. Its chronology spans early recordings such as Come On and Satisfaction as well as later releases including Start Me Up and Love Is Strong, crossing the band's major label and rights eras.
Who designed the gorilla artwork on the GRRR! cover?
American artist Walton Ford created the gorilla image, which incorporates the Rolling Stones' tongue-and-lips logo. The deliberately confrontational animal portrait became the visual identity for the band's 50th-anniversary compilation and campaign.
