The Rolling Stones (EP)

Encyclopedia : T : TH : THE : The Rolling Stones (EP)

The Rolling Stones is the debut EP released by The Rolling Stones in 1964. Recorded to test the commercial appeal of the band before their UK label Decca Records would commit to letting them record an album, The Rolling Stones includes four songs recorded at two separate sessions in August and November 1963.

The Rolling Stones features R&B covers of some of the band's favorite artists. Eric Easton is officially listed as the EP's producer.

The EP reached #13 in the UK singles charts. Three of its tracks would not see official US release until 1972's retrospective More Hot Rocks (Big Hits & Fazed Cookies); "You Better Move On" was featured on 1965's December's Children (And Everybody's).

Unavailable for decades, The Rolling Stones was finally reissued on CD in 2004 on the Singles 1963-1965 box set through ABKCO Records.
