Rolling Stones' catalog is one of the most expensive in the music industry, and the English rock group can earn millions of dollars from it.
Throughout Rolling Stones' decades-old of career, the English rock band has already sold over 240 million records worldwide. They managed to reach the mark after releasing 121 singles, 48 video albums, 30 studio albums, and 29 compilation albums to date.
With that, the band members can surely earn a lot once they sell the band's catalog, but that does not seem to be the case.
In a new interview with Anthony Mason on CBS Sunday Morning, Keith Richards revealed that he and Mick Jagger have not spoken about selling their catalogs on a serious level. Still, he confirmed that selling their catalog is not one of their priorities right now.
"Mick and I have not spoken about it on a serious level. I don't know if we're ready to sell our catalog. We might drag it out a bit - put some more stuff in it!" he said, as quoted by Loud Wire. "You only think about selling your catalog when ... it's a sign of getting old!"
Richards was also asked about how much longer he can continue, to which he responded that he would not come up with an answer. He added that he would find out the hard way when it would happen.
Why Keith Richards Won't Sell Rolling Stones' Catalog - For Now
During the same interview, he hinted at the fact that he recently started working with Jagger and drummer Steve Jordan again last week.
According to Richards, they came up with new pieces that they would soon offer to their fans.
"It'll be interesting to find out the dynamics now that Steve's in the band. It's sort of metamorphosing into something else. I was working with Mick last week, and Steve, and we came up with some, eight or nine new pieces of material. Which is overwhelming by our standards," he said, via Ultimate Classic Rock.
If pushed through, it would come nearly seven years since Rolling Stone dropped their last album, "Blue & Lonesome."
Richards' comments resonated with what Jagger previously claimed in 2020, saying that a new album was in the works. He revealed that they recorded "bunch of tracks" when they were working on their single, "Living in a Ghost Town."
