The iconic rock'n'roll band, The Rolling Stones, might have subtly unveiled the name of their upcoming album within an advertisement featured in this publication.

The advertisement, which presents the services of a fictional glass repair shop named Hackney Diamonds, is thought to hint at the title of the band's forthcoming album.

This particular ad was showcased in both the Hackney Gazette and Islington Gazette during the past week. Interestingly, the advertisement was sponsored by Universal Music Group, the entity responsible for managing the band's musical portfolio.

Throughout the notice, there are cleverly integrated allusions to The Rolling Stones' songs. The business name is presented in a font reminiscent of the title used on the band's 1978 album, Some Girls.

Furthermore, the letter 'i' in "Diamonds" is adorned with the band's recognizable tongue and lips logo. Notably, the advertisement also states that the glass repair enterprise was established in 1962, coinciding with the year the band was formed.

Within the core text of the advertisement, a commitment to customer satisfaction is highlighted: "Our friendly team promises you satisfaction.

“When you say gimme shelter we’ll fix your shattered windows”.

Enthusiastic fans with keen observation skills can swiftly identify allusions to three of the band's most iconic hits – (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction, Gimme Shelter, and Shattered.

The advertisement from Hackney Diamonds also hints at the opening of a fresh establishment on Mare Street in September, as indicated in the notice.

If individuals dial the provided phone number from the ad, they will hear a pre-recorded message that says, “Welcome to Hackney Diamonds, specialists in glass repair: Don't get angry, get it fixed.”
