The Rolling Stones have decided to get some satisfaction - by signing up with a German company to protect their music rights.
BMG is to represent the group's music publishing catalogue, as the band celebrates the release of its first single in June 1963.
It is the first time the veteran rockers have appointed an outside music publisher in 40 years.
The songs to be directly published by BMG span six albums from 1983's Undercover to 2005's A Bigger Bang
Future compositions will also be represented by the company, which was started in 2008.
It was launched as a new style of music company representing both of the traditionally separate music publishing and recording rights.
It is already the fourth biggest music publishing company in the world and recently acquired the Sanctuary Records and Mute Records catalogues.
BMG will also administer singer Mick Jagger and guitarist Keith Richards' interests dating back to 1963 including (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction, Brown Sugar and Angie.
The company has expanded rapidly as it maximised returns for artists and sought new and lucrative areas to market music.
Its responsibilities will range from marketing and licensing the songs to the film, TV and advertising sectors in the fast-growing number of digital music services.
BMG Chrysalis senior vice president Alexi Cory-Smith said: "Mick Jagger and Keith Richards are among the greatest songwriters in rock n' roll history. It's a huge honour that they have chosen us to represent their interests.
"Beginning July 1, we will be working alongside all of our offices around the world to give them the very best BMG can offer."
The Rolling Stones are currently touring the United States ahead of performing at the Glastonbury Festival on June 29 and two dates in London's Hyde Park in July.
BMG is a subsidiary of international media company Bertelsmann.
