Bill Wyman announces decade-spanning Treasury 7CD Box Set
Bill Wyman and Demon Music are proud to present Treasury, a new seven-disc CD box set, celebrating the solo career of the iconic British musician.
Treasury is available to pre-order now, and will be released on December 12th.
It contains six solo albums by Bill, recorded across a fifty-year span, beginning 1974. Each of the first six discs contains bonus material such as 7-inch and 12-inch single mixes, plus demo recordings, while the final disc features 12 new demo recordings of songs that Bill has written in that time, but never released - until now.
The first two discs contain the albums Monkey Grip (from 1974) and Stone Alone (1976), both originally issued on Rolling Stones Records, and made with a staggering line-up of musical friends including Lowell George, Dr John, Joe Walsh, Van Morrison, the Pointer Sisters, Danny Kortchmar, Dallas Taylor, Leon Russell, Bob Welch and Nicky Hopkins. The eponymous Bill Wyman album from 1981 was home to the Top 40 singles '(Si Si) Je Suis Un Rock Star', and 'A New Fashion' while fourth album Stuff, with contributions from Chuck Leavell, and Ray Cooper, appeared in 1992, originally in Japan only.
The 2015 album Back To Basics saw Bill work with Guy Fletcher, and Robbie McIntosh, both of whom returned for the 2024 set Drive My Car, where Andy Fairweather-Low added his name to the list of greats who have collaborated with Bill.
In addition to the 107 tracks of music, 'Treasury' includes lyrics for all the 'new' songs on the seventh disc, photos from Bill's own archive, and a new interview with Bill, where he looks back over his solo career with broadcaster and journalist Paul Sexton, who has interviewed him on numerous occasions from the late '80s onwards. Paul's extensive work with the Rolling Stones include 'Charlie’s Good Tonight: The Authorised Biography of Charlie Watts’.
Born in 1936 in Lewisham, south London, Bill joined the Rolling Stones in 1962, playing bass with them for more than 30 years, appearing on 19 studio albums, and returning for a guest appearance on the band's chart-topping 2023 comeback collection 'Hackney Diamonds'. In 1972 he collaborated with Ry Cooder, Nicky Hopkins, Mick Jagger, and Charlie Watts on 'Jamming With Edward!', and launched his back-to-roots all-star side project Bill Wyman's Rhythm Kings in 1997.
Bill Wyman Stone Alone – 50th Anniversary Edition National Album Day 2025
For National Album Day 2025, Demon Music are proud to make Bill Wyman’s second solo album available as a limited edition 2LP set on purple vinyl.
Originally released as a 12-song album in March 1976 on Rolling Stones Records, this new version adds six bonus tracks, some appearing on vinyl for the very first time. The extraordinary array of talent joining Bill on ‘Stone Alone’ is a 'Who’s Who’ of ’70s Rock, and includes Van Morrison on saxophone, keyboards from Dr John, and from Al Kooper (Bob Dylan / Blood Sweat & Tears), additional brass from Steve 'The Doctor' Kupa, Lenny Pickett, Mic Gillette and Emilio Castillo (Tower Of Power), backing vocals from Bonnie and Ruth Pointer (The Pointer Sisters), drums from Dallas Taylor (Crosby, Stills & Nash) and Jim Keltner (George Harrison), guitar from Bob Welch (Fleetwood Mac), plus Bill's Rolling Stones' bandmates, guitarist Ronnie Wood, and pianist Nicky Hopkins.
The album features nine original songs, written, arranged and produced by Bill, alongside covers of the R&B favourites 'A Quarter To Three', a 1961 single for Gary ’U.S.’ Bonds’, and Jimmy Soul’s tongue-in-cheek 1963 single 'If You Wanna Be Happy'.
The album will go on sale on October 18, 2025 – mark it in your diaries!

78 years a fan – Bill's Crystal Palace journey
My father took me on my 10th birthday to my first Crystal Palace football match on 26th October 1946 – the first season after World War II. They were playing against Pert Vale in the 3rd Division and lost 2-1.
From that day they became my team, and I have followed them and seen them rise from the 4th, to the 3rd divisions into the 2nd and then the 1st division, and finally into the Premiership, where they are now an established team.
After the first FA Cup Final that I attended – thanks to manager Steve Coppell at the time – it was a 3-3 draw, and my friends Ian Wright gave me his boots while Mark Bright gave me his shirt.
I’ve waited 78 years for this momentous occasion to happen – and it finally did on Saturday - third time lucky.
Long Live the Eagles – with Europe next season!
A fan forever
Bill Wyman
