THE ROLLING STONES NO. 2
Released 15 January 1965 – Recorded 10 June, 8 November 1964 – Label Decca – Producer Andrew
Rolling stones nr.2
The Rolling Stones No. 2 is the second UK album by The Rolling Stones released in 1965 following the massive success of 1964's debut The Rolling Stones. Not surprisingly, The Rolling Stones No. 2 followed its predecessor's tendency to largely feature R&B covers. However, it does contain three compositions from the still-developing Mick Jagger/Keith Richards songwriting team.

When we got into RCA in Hollywood, fuckin' huge Studio A, with Dave Hassinger engineering, we said, We can really do it here. It's all laid out. All you have to do is not let them take you over. Engineers never even used to work, man. They'd flick a few switches and that was it. TheMachinery was unsophisticated in those days, four track was the biggest there was. keith Richards

Producer: Andrew Oldham Engineers: Dave Hassinger, Ron Malo, Glyn Johns Released: July 1965 Original label: London Records (Polygram)
Andrew (Oldham) was always pushing us to get us to do Motown things like Can I Get a Witness?. And he was right as well; he was more right than we were. And, of course, when Mick and Keith got into writing, the songs came out more like he was looking for. Keith was always more into soul music than me or Charlie, and Mick loved soul performers like Wilson Pickett and James Brown. - Bill Wyman

Contributing musicians:We are recording in the U.S. solely because we believe we can produce our best work there and we want to give British fans the best. We can record right through from 6 o'clock at night to 6 o'clock in the morning over there without so much as a tea break, and the engineers are first class. We should be able to complete most of our recording while on tour in America and it will not be necessary to make tehese special trips often. Mick Jagger, September 1965.

Tracks 6 and 12 recorded live in March 1965 in England and first released that June on the got LIVE if you want it! EP Before this 1965 blues-rock masterpiece, the Stones were the best of the many British bands living out their Muddy Waters dress-up fantasies. They continue giving new life to old songs, such as Arthur Alexander's soul tearjerker "You Better Move On" and the Nat King Cole standard "Route 66," but there are several exciting new developments. Keith Richards and Mick Jagger discover their songwriting talents, coming up with the enduring "Get Off My Cloud" and "As Tears Go By" as well as the underappreciated "I'm Free." And drummer Charlie Watts focuses the swing-jazz fills that have defined the Stones as much as the writing, voices, and guitars. --Steve KnopperBrian Jones - Guitar, Harmonica, Piano, Organ Mick Jagger - Vocals, Harmonica Keith Richards - Guitar, Vocals, String Arrangement Charlie Watts - Drums, Percussion Bill Wyman – Bass Jack Nitzsche - Piano, Organ, Percussion Ian Stewart - Piano, Organ, Marimba, Percussion JW Alexander - Percussion Mike Leander - String Arrangement
