The American edition of the LP, with a slightly different track list, came out on [[London Records]] on 30 May 1964, subtitled [[England's Newest Hit Makers]], which later became its official title. The album is included in Robert Dimery's [[1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die]].<ref>^ Robert Dimery; Michael Lydon (23 March 2010). 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die: Revised and Updated Edition. Universe. ISBN 978-0-7893-2074-2.</ref> ==Recording and releases== Recorded at Regent Sound Studios in London over the course of five days in January and February 1964, ''The Rolling Stones'' was produced by then-managers [[Andrew Loog Oldham]] and Eric Easton. The album was originally released by Decca Records in the UK, while the US version appeared on the [[London Records]] label. The majority of the tracks reflect the band's love for [[rhythm and blues|R&B]]. [[Mick Jagger]] and [[Keith Richards]] (whose [[stage name|professional name]] until 1978 omitted the "s" in his surname) were fledgling songwriters during early 1964, contributing only one original composition to the album: "[[Tell Me (You're Coming Back)]]". Two songs are credited to "[[Nanker Phelge]]"&nbsp;– a pseudonym the band used for group compositions from 1963 to 1965. [[Phil Spector]] and [[Gene Pitney]] both contributed to the recording sessions, and are referred to as "Uncle Phil and Uncle Gene" in the subtitle of the Phelge instrumental "Now I've Got a Witness." First pressings of the album, with matrix numbers ending in 1A, 2A, 1B, and 2B, have a 2:52 version of "Tell Me (You're Coming Back)", which was pressed from the wrong master tape. Subsequent pressings include the 4:06 version. Early labels and covers also have misprints with the fourth track on side 1 listed as "Mona", which was later changed to "I Need You Baby"", the subtitle of "Now I've Got a Witness" written "Like Uncle Gene and Uncle Phil", the word 'If' omitted from "[[You Can Make It If You Try]]", and 'Dozier' spelt 'Bozier'. "Route 66" is listed as "(Get Your Kicks On) Route 66" on some versions of the album, and some later versions of the album have "I Need You Baby" listed as "Mona (I Need You Baby)" and the subtitles of "Now I've Got a Witness" and "Tell Me (You're Coming Back)" removed entirely. The album cover photo was taken by Nicholas Wright. The cover bears no title or identifying information other than the photo and the Decca logo – an "unheard of" design concept originated by manager Andrew Oldham.<ref name="rollingwithp111">{{cite book |last=Wyman |first=Bill |title=Rolling With the Stones |publisher=DK Publishing |year=2002 |isbn=0-7894-9998-3 |page=111}}</ref><ref name="alop327">{{cite book |last=Oldham |first=Andrew Loog |title=Stoned |publisher=St. Martin's Griffin |year=2000 |isbn=0-312-27094-1 |page=327}}</ref> Upon its release, ''The Rolling Stones'' became one of 1964's biggest sellers in the UK, staying at No. 1 for twelve weeks. The original British version is out-of-print on CD. In November 2010, it was made available as part of a limited edition vinyl box set titled ''The Rolling Stones 1964–1969'', and by itself digitally at the same time. The original title was also re-instated as part of the ''Rolling Stones in Mono'' CD box set, released on September 30, 2016. The album was only released in mono in both the UK and US; no true stereo mix was ever made. ==Track listing== {{Tracklist | headline = Side one | writing_credits=yes | title1 = [[Route 66 (song)|Route 66]] | writer1 = [[Bobby Troup]] | length1 = 2:20 | title2 = [[I Just Want to Make Love to You]] | writer2 = [[Willie Dixon]] | length2 = 2:17 | title3 = Honest I Do | writer3 = [[Jimmy Reed]] | length3 = 2:09 | title4 = [[Mona (I Need You Baby)|I Need You Baby]] | writer4 = [[Bo Diddley|Ellas McDaniel]] | length4 = 3:33 | title5 = Now I've Got a Witness (Like Uncle Phil and Uncle Gene) | writer5 = [[Nanker Phelge]] | length5 = 2:29 | title6 = [[Little by Little (The Rolling Stones song)|Little by Little]] | writer6 = Nanker Phelge, [[Phil Spector]] | length6 = 2:39 }} {{Tracklist | headline = Side two | writing_credits=yes | title7 = [[I'm a King Bee]] | writer7 = [[Slim Harpo|James Moore]] | length7 = 2:35 | title8 = [[Carol (Chuck Berry song)|Carol]] | writer8 = [[Chuck Berry]] | length8 = 2:33 | title9 = [[Tell Me (The Rolling Stones song)|Tell Me (You're Coming Back)]] | writer9 = [[Mick Jagger]], [[Keith Richards]] | length9 = 4:05 | title10 = [[Can I Get a Witness]] | writer10 = [[Brian Holland]], [[Lamont Dozier]], [[Edward Holland, Jr.|Eddie Holland]] | length10 = 2:55 | title11 = You Can Make It If You Try | writer11 = [[Ted Jarrett]] | length11 = 2:01 | title12 = [[Walking the Dog]] | writer12 = [[Rufus Thomas]] | length12 = 3:10 }} =={{Anchor|United States release}} American release== {{Infobox album | Name = The Rolling Stones<br />(England's Newest Hit Makers) | Type = studio | Artist = [[The Rolling Stones]] | Cover = RollingStones.album.cover.jpg | Released = 30 May 1964 | Recorded = 3 January&nbsp;– 25 February 1964, Regent Studios, London | Genre = [[Rock and roll]], [[rhythm and blues]] | Length = 31:05 | Language = English | Label = [[London Records|London]] | Producer = Eric Easton and [[Andrew Loog Oldham]] | Misc = {{Singles | Name = The Rolling Stones (England's Newest Hit Makers) | Type = studio | Single 1 = [[Not Fade Away (song)|Not Fade Away]]"/"[[I Wanna Be Your Man]]" | Single 1 date = 6 March 1964 | Single 2 = [[Tell Me (You're Coming Back)|Tell Me]]/"[[I Just Want to Make Love to You]]" | Single 2 date = 13 June 1964 }} | Chronology = The Rolling Stones American | Last album = | This album = '''''The Rolling Stones (England's Newest Hit Makers)'''''<br />(1964) | Next album = ''[[12 X 5]]''<br />(1964) }} {{Album ratings |rev1 = [[Allmusic]] |rev1score = {{Rating|4.5|5}}<ref name="AMG"/> }}<!-- Automatically generated by DASHBot--> The American version of the album, originally subtitled but later officially called '''''England's Newest Hit Makers''''', is the band's debut American album and was released by [[London Records]] on 30 May 1964, a month and a half after the British version.
