The Rolling Stones - England’s Newest Hit Makers (LP, Mono, RE)

2016 reissue of England’s Newest Hit Makers mastered by Bob Ludwig and cut by Sean Magee at Abbey Road Studios pressed on 180 gram black vinyl.

The ROLLING STONES are more than just a group - they are a way of life. A way of life that has captured the imagination of the nation's teenagers, and made them one of the most sought after groups in Beatdom. For the Stones have their fingers on the pulse of the basic premise of "pop" music success - that its public buys sound, and the sound is what they give you with this their first album; a raw, exciting basic approach to Rhythm and Blues which, blended with their five own explosive characters, has given them three smash hits and an E.P. that stayed in the single charts for fifteen weeks. In the eight months since the Stones embarked on their pop career, they have not only chalked up major chart successes, but smashed attendance records on tours the length and breadth of the country. They have emerged as five well rounded intelligent talents, who will journey successfully far beyond the realms of pop music. And in this album there are twelve good reasons why.
