The Rolling Stones – England's Newest Hit Makers (LP Vinyl)
Before they became the self-proclaimed "World's Greatest Rock and Roll Band," the Stones were voracious students, and this debut captures that hunger raw and unfiltered. The covers here trace a direct line back to Chicago and the Mississippi Delta, the same blues records that were quietly impossible to find in early-60s Britain but that Brian Jones, Keith Richards, and Mick Jagger were hunting down obsessively.
With Beatlemania and the British Invasion in full swing, the Rolling Stones were announced as "England's Newest Hit Makers." Released to coincide with their arrival in New York on June 1, 1964, where they began their first U.S. tour. Describing the album, Keith Richard said it "reflected what we used to play at the Crawdaddy - a regular diet of Jimmy Reed, Bo Diddley, Muddy Waters with some Slim Harpo. The album was the cream of the set." Available on 180-gram black vinyl LP.
