Keith Richards Reissues Rare Single on iTunes

Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards has partnered with iTunes to re-release his 1978 solo single, 'Run Rudolph Run,' his spokeswoman said on Thursday.

The holiday tune will be sold as a two-for-one deal in conjunction with Richards' 2003 cover of 'Pressure Drop,' by Toots and the Maytals. Richards' cover of Jimmy Cliff's 'The Harder They Come,' which was the original B-side to 'Run Rudolph Run,' will not be sold with the promotion. The songs will be available on December 11.

'Run Rudolph Run' was popularized by Chuck Berry in 1958, but has since been covered by the Grateful Dead, Sheryl Crow, Bryan Adams, Jimmy Buffett and more.
