U.S. issues of the UK Rolling Stones No. 2 LP.
It was a love of the blues and early American R&B that forged the friendship between a teenage Mick Jagger and Keith Richards down Dartford way, so it’s only fitting that the Rolling Stones’ second release continued to rely upon these building blocks.
Consequently, we’re treated to the fledgling Stones’ take on Chuck Berry’s You Can’t Catch Me, a fairly faithful rendering, but with Jagger’s decidedly English sneer and Richards’ rolling, ramshackle riffery adding to its original charm.
The Jagger/Richards songwriting partnership also gains momentum, with three composition credits to their name – Off The Hook with its Yardbird-esque guitar motif and relentless refrain; What A Shame is a bluesy bruiser and gives bassist Bill Wyman a moment to shine under Brian Jones’s sparse bottleneck, while Grown Up Wrong pays real homage to their hero Mr Berry.
But in terms of solid blues prowess, it’s the band’s interpretation of Muddy Waters’ I Can’t Be Satisfied that truly impresses – Brian Jones’s fluid slide playing on this track was seldom bettered.
No.2 was a monster hit in the UK, and deservedly so as it convincingly straddled the bridges between the blues and rock’n’roll and set the blueprint for the relentless Rolling Stones march into the future.

Bill Wyman (The Rolling Stones) - Back To Basics (2015)

Year: 22 June 2015 (CD Jun 22, 2015)
Label: Ripple Productios Ltd (UK), PRDCD125
Style: Pop Rock, Blues Rock, Classic Rock
Country: Lewisham, London, England (24 October 1936)
Time: 43:19
Format: Flac Tracks 16/44,1 kHz

When Bill Wyman left his post as bassist for the Rolling Stones in 1993 after thirty years, it wasn’t a departure from the musical world. He’s been recording and touring with his band the Rhythm Kings since then, but now is releasing a new solo album; the first UK release under his own name in thirty three years! Back To Basics is aptly named, as it is totally stripped back, while touching on the easy-going feeling that the Rhythm Kings give off. Its strength is in its unashamed simplicity.
A large part of this comes from the fact that Wyman’s vocals are just so chilled. The opening track What & How & If & When & Why, for example, is an instrumentally upbeat blues-rock track with a brass section and recurring guitar, but the delivery of the lyrics subdues the overall tone. It’s a raspy, half talking, half singing kind of delivery that feels intimate and very honest; there’s nothing pretentious going on here.
Every track is fluid, instrumentally, and adds various extras to develop its own character. We get some call and response with a female vocalist in Seventeen, flamenco style Spanish guitar in November and some sultry blues harmonica  and melancholy organ in the closer I Got Time, which ends the album on a bit of a downer.
As a whole, though, everything is really cohesive, and Wyman sounds totally at home with the songwriting and delivery. The lyrics are simple, and can be easily comprehended. It’s nice to be able to hear every single word without having to even concentrate, and the themes are relatable “We had it all when we were together/We had it all, thought it was forever” (from Running Back To You). Although it’s an enjoyable listen top to bottom, Stuff (Can’t Get Enough) is definitely a stand out track for me. The rhythm of the vocals in the chorus over straight instrumental backing is a contagious and playful combination that is sure to follow you around for the rest of the day.
Back To Basics isn’t a novel release that breaks into new territory, but if it were, the album would be falsely named. It is a record that reflects the extensive musical career of a man who has nothing to prove. This is not a release aimed at boosting Bill Wyman’s profile, it’s an expression of one of the man’s passions that is still burning bright.

Bill Wyman (The Rolling Stones) - Stuff [Japanese Ed.] (1992)

Year: October, 1992 (CD Oct 21, 1992)
Label: Victor Entertainment Inc. (Japan), VICP-5202
Style: Pop, Synth-Pop
Country: Lewisham, London, England (24 October 1936)
Time: 39:27
Format: Flac Tracks 16/44,1 kHz

Even many serious Rolling Stones fans aren't aware that Bill Wyman issued a solo album in the early '90s, as Stuff initially came out only in Japan and Argentina. Like some other Stones projects of the time, it wasn't recorded in a concentrated dose, but pieced together from sessions dating back as far as September 1988. Even had it benefited from a worldwide release, however, it's hard to see how many fans - of the Rolling Stones or otherwise - would have taken to the record, for these are largely basic, repetitious funk-disco-dance-based tunes with a dated 1980s synthetic production. Wyman's thin, hoarse vocals don't help, and while it's possible these are intended more as satires of a trendy style or '80s stars like Prince than serious artistic statements, the wit is so mild that any jokes are wont to pass largely unnoticed. "Fear of Flying" at least opts for a more serious and menacing mood, and "Affected by the Towns" for more of a humorous straightforward soul-funk vibe, though those songs aren't anything to crow about. Just one hint of Wyman's '60s classic rock roots is here, on an unexpected cover of Ray Davies' "This Strange Effect" (covered by British star Dave Berry in the mid-'60s), and it says something about the rest of the album that the song is by far the most memorable tune here.

The Rolling Stones - 12 x 5 [Japanese Ed.] (1964)

Year: 17 October 1964 (CD Apr 25, 1989)
Label: Polydor Records (Japan), P25L 25032
Style: Classic Rock, Rhythm and Blues, Rock and Roll
Country: London, England
Time: 31:15
Format: Flac Tracks 16/44,1 kHz

Imagine that in moments of smart alecky tomfoolery, many a person has looked at the cover of The Rolling Stones’ 12 X 5 and yelled, “Sixty,” soon followed by uncontrollable giggling at their own corny brilliance. Had the same people seen the British EP which featured songs that appeared on 12 X 5, they would have probably yelled “Twenty-five.” In either case, the joke would most likely be met with blank stares and shaking heads, maybe a few befuddled shrugs from people not familiar with multiplication or amused by arithmetic.
The twelve songs by the five piece Stones which comprise 12 X 5 are, like its predecessor, deeply entrenched in rhythm and blues and soul; brimming with lively covers and boasting the support of bad-boy Brian Jones. Unlike its predecessor, the album offers some early Stones originals, which, though they stand on forgivably shaky legs, give a taste of what’s to come. It’s definitely an album of portent, something of a glimpse at the bands roots before Out of Our Heads or the all-original Aftermath.
The album kicks off with Chuck Berry’s “Around and Around.” The cover showcases the rhythm section, Keith Richards’ lead guitar, Jones’ piano and Mick Jagger’s vocals working in unison to create a catchy, bopping whole. The same can be said of “It’s All Over Now,” the rhythm section of Charlie Watts and Bill Wyman demonstrating their immense importance to the band as Jones and Richards guitars open up into solo bravado. “Confessin’ the Blues” crawls with a standard blues riff, Jones and Richards once again sharing guitar duties, seamlessly giving way for Jagger to wrap that mouth of his around a harmonica.
Ushered in by organ or a tasty guitar lick (depending on what version of the song you have) is The Rolling Stones’ first top-ten single stateside, “Time Is On My Side.” Originally recorded by Irma Thomas, Jagger’s lament and taunting backed by the band guide the song from beginning to the fading repetition of the song’s title, pulsing the word “time” for emphasis. Both “Time Is On My Side” and “Around and Around” were the two songs the band played on their first appearance on “The Ed Sullivan Show” in 1964. Apparently frightened by their motley looks, Sullivan vowed to never have them on the show again. In 1967, The Rolling Stones once again appeared on “The Ed Sullivan Show,” this time playing “Let’s Spend the Night Together.”
On the Rolling Stones original songs, it sounds as if Jagger is attempting to tame the muse of lyric writing with a Mars bar and a pouty-lipped pucker. While “Good Times, Bad Times,” the jilted “Congradulations,” and “Grown Up Wrong” aren’t bad by any means, they don’t have the same memorable melodic quality or the lyrical intelligence of what was to come. They stand there for the most part without the pomp, circumstance or flooring power that would characterize, for instance, the riff of “Satisfaction” or the sudden dark blast of “Paint it Black.”
Under the pseudonymous group guise of Nanker Phelge, the band delivers a grooving jam on “2120 South Michigan Avenue.” Named after the street address of Chess Records, the band blends organs, harmonica hums, blistering solos, warm thudding bass and tattering drums. Nanker Phelge also gets the credit for “Empty Heart,” a bounding rhythm and blues track that, along with “Grown Up Wrong,” is arguably one of the best of the album’s originals.
While there’s no iconic Jagger/Richards-written songs on 12 X 5, it’s an album bursting with energy and begging to be heard. By the following year, time matured the group into rock stars grown right, still tied to their roots but coming into their own in a satisfying way.

The Rolling Stones - England's Newest Hit Makers [Hybrid SACD] (1964)

The American edition of the debut LP.
The British version of the Stones' first album has a nearly identical cover to its American equivalent, issued six weeks later, but a slightly different song lineup. Among these 12 songs, absent is "Not Fade Away," which was a hit single in England (where singles and LPs were usually kept separate), and in its place is the Stones' cover of Bo Diddley's "Mona (I Need You Baby)" (credited here as "I Need You Baby"), which had to wait until Rolling Stones Now!, a year later, for its U.S. release. It's not a big switch, a Bo Diddley-style cover of a Buddy Holly song bumping an actual Bo Diddley cover on the U.S. version. Otherwise, the main difference lies in the version of "Tell Me" included here, which sounds about two generations hotter than any edition of the song ever released in the U.S. -- it's the long version, with the break that was cut from the single, but the British LP and the original late-'80s Decca U.K. compact disc (820 047-2) both contain a version without any fade, running the better part of a minute longer than the U.S. release of the song, until the band literally stops playing.

The British edition of the debut LP.
Much is said about comparing The Beatles with The Rolling Stones, even hinting at a certain rivalry between the two bands. “Yesterday”, during a very interesting conversation, we concluded that comparing The Beatles to The Stones is like comparing apples to oranges. While one focused on creating the foundations for Pop, the other aimed to design a rebellious sound, both rooted in Rock.
The reality of this matter (at least in the beginning) is that The Beatles themselves propelled The Stones to fame, especially George Harrison, who persuaded Decca Records to sign them... and that’s exactly what happened. It is even said that The Beatles frequented the ‘Crawdaddy Club’ in Richmond, London, to watch The Stones, where they gained a significant fan base.
In 1964, The Rolling Stones debuted with their eponymous album, featuring 12 songs, of which only one is original, ‘Tell Me (You’re Coming Back)’, composed by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards.
We can hear a sound inspired by R&B and, of course, Rock & Roll. Practically, it is a cover album. However, The Rolling Stones refreshed all these songs and added that touch of rebellion that the generation needed to break conventional music and societal stereotypes.
Mick Jagger’s voice became the band’s hallmark from this album. Despite not possessing vocal virtuosity, he proposed something entirely different that would serve as a strong foundation for Rock in general, with a message of ‘You don’t have to be perfect to be in a band’. This influence, especially for Punk, was tremendous, as can be heard on albums like “Never Mind The Bollocks” (1977) by Sex Pistols.
The album was recorded in an express manner, in just 5 days! Consequently, it’s not perfect, which gives it a nostalgic sound and provides context regarding the technology of the time. Speaking of production, it contributes to the album sounding “heavy” for its era, maintaining the distortion peaks that are sometimes heard in the vocals.
It’s not just about Keith Richards‘ and Brian Jones‘ guitars, Bill Wyman‘s bass, and Charlie Watts‘ drums. Mick Jagger himself played the harmonica, and we can even hear a completely instrumental track, “Now I’ve Got A Witness”, where Ian Stewart played the organ. Stewart was part of the band but unofficially, as the band’s manager did not see him fit as a permanent member due to his marketing conception.
Certainly, the blues is present in songs like “I’m a King Bee”... a white version of the genre that began to hint at something more, a revolution that would soon scare the conservatives and liberate the rebels through art. Yes, we are talking about the official birth of Rock, with an audience that would gradually demand more.
And yes, dancing in Rock has always been, in one way or another, essential, the need to move the body and release that beautiful energy caused by our dopamine... The Rolling Stones add variety to the album with tracks like “Carol” or “Can I Get a Witness”, songs designed for fast and uncomplicated Rock N’ Roll dancing, with a very good display of guitars between Richards and Jones.
It’s impressive how, after so many years, we have the opportunity to listen to such an important part of music history. This album is entirely groundbreaking; it represents the desire of five individuals to leave a mark on the world, to do things differently, and at the same time, serve. They set an example, as their song “You Can Make It If You Try” says... that nobody can limit you. You can do anything you want as long as you manifest it and work on it.

Bill Wyman (The Rolling Stones) - Bill Wyman (1982)

Year: 26 March 1982 (CD 1996)
Label: Sequel Records (UK), NEM CD 848
Style: Pop Rock, Rock, New Wave, Synth-Pop[
Country: Lewisham, London, England (24 October 1936)
Time: 40:10
Format: Flac Tracks 16/44,1 kHz
Size: 254 Mb

After a pair of solo efforts that veered from eccentric yet inspired (Monkey Grip) to eccentric and uninspired (Stone Alone), Bill Wyman perfected his blend of rock & roll and oddball humor into one solid album on 1981's Bill Wyman. Instead of utilizing the all-star group of backup musicians that dominated his previous solo outings, Bill Wyman found the veteran rocker handling much of the instrumentation himself, with only a rhythm section and a few guest stars pitching in. The result is a crisp, consistent sound that mixes the electronic edge of new wave with good, old-fashioned rock & roll production values. Bill Wyman also benefits from catchy, well-written songs that provide a hook-laden backdrop for Wyman's humorous musings: "A New Fashion" is a witheringly acidic send-up of trend-chasing pop stars that layers a memorably melodic chorus over an effectively sparse electronic backdrop, and "Come Back Suzanne" is a one-of-a-kind rock/disco/new wave hybrid that blends power chords with ethereal synth flourishes as Wyman delivers a tongue-in-cheek tale of lost love. Other highlights include "Jump Up," a catchy combination of ska and funk with amusing party-hearty lyrics, and "Girls," a snarling rocker with campy, macho lyrics that could be read as a parody of the Rolling Stones' long line of carnal rock songs. However, the album's masterpiece is "Si, Si, Je Suis Un Rock Star," a deliriously strange but quite funny song that features Wyman delivering a lusty travelogue in a deadpan voice over a backing track that mixes Spanish guitars with burbling synth disco. Ultimately, one's level of interest in Bill Wyman will depend on their love of eccentric humor, but no one can deny that it effectively combines solid songwriting and a sleek, consistent production style. As a result, Bill Wyman is worthwhile listen for classic rock fans who don't mind a little idiosyncratic humor mixed in with their rock & roll.

Keith Richards (The Rolling Stones) - Main Offender (1992)

Year: 19 October 1992 (CD 1992)
Label: Virgin Records (Europe), VJCP-28130

Format: Flac Tracks 16/44,1 kHz

Main Offender is the second studio album by Keith Richards, released in 1992 between the Rolling Stones' Steel Wheels and Voodoo Lounge projects.
Richards teamed with Talk Is Cheap collaborator Steve Jordan and added Waddy Wachtel to the mix both in composing and producing Main Offender. Sessions with Richards' group of musician friends known as "The X-Pensive Winos" took place in California and New York City from March to September 1992, with touring in Argentina and Europe in late 1992 and North America in early 1993.
Main Offender was released in October 1992 to generally positive reviews. However, it failed to match the commercial success of Talk Is Cheap, reaching No. 45 in the UK and No. 99 in the US. After the Main Offender tour, Richards returned to recording exclusively with the Rolling Stones and did not release another solo album until Crosseyed Heart in 2015.

Bill Wyman (The Rolling Stones) - Stone Alone (1976)

Year: 27 February 1976 (CD 1996)
Label: Sequel Records (UK), NEM CD 847
Style: Rock, Pop Rock
Country: Lewisham, London, England (24 October 1936)
Time: 39:54
Format: Flac Tracks 16/44,1 kHz
Size: 254 Mb

Stone Alone is the second solo studio album by the Rolling Stones' bass guitarist Bill Wyman. It was released in 1976 by Rolling Stones Records. The album reached number 166 on the Billboard 200.
Van Morrison plays the saxophone in "A Quarter to Three". Joe Walsh, Dr. John, Ron Wood, Al Kooper, Nicky Hopkins, and Jim Keltner played on the album.
Bill Wyman is also the author of a book called Stone Alone: The Story of a Rock 'n' Roll Band, not to be confused with this album.
In a review, AllMusic rated the album one and a half stars out of five. They noted "Apache Woman" and "Quarter to Three" but cautioned that "highlights like these are few and far between and this problem reduces Stone Alone to a curio that should only be sought out by Bill Wyman fans and Rolling Stones completists." They criticized the album for lacking "the focus and solid songs of the previous album and ends up feeling like the typical rock star's ego-trip side project. Stone Alone can't be faulted for ambition, though: nearly every song tries out a different musical style ('50s-style rock, disco, and reggae) and Wyman enlists a veritable who's who of guest musicians (everyone from Dr. John to Al Kooper to Joe Walsh) to bring the songs to life."

Ronald David Wood (born 1 June 1947) is an English rock musician, best known as a member of the Rolling Stones since 1975, and a member of Faces and the Jeff Beck Group.
Wood began his career in 1964, playing lead guitar with several British rhythm and blues bands in short succession, including the Birds and the Creation. He joined the Jeff Beck Group in 1967 as a guitarist and bassist, playing on the albums Truth and Beck-Ola. The group split in 1969, and Wood departed along with lead vocalist Rod Stewart to join former Small Faces members Ronnie Lane, Ian McLagan and Kenney Jones in a new group named Faces with Wood now primarily on lead guitar. The group found great success in the UK and mainland Europe from the early days on, but only reached major fame in the US during their last year of existence, 1975, with a major tour of the US. Wood sang and co-wrote the title track from their final LP, Ooh La La, released in 1973. He also worked extensively on Stewart's first few solo albums.
As Faces began to split, he started several solo projects, eventually recording his first solo LP, I've Got My Own Album to Do, in 1974. The album featured bandmate McLagan as well as former Beatle George Harrison and Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones, a longtime friend of Wood. Soon after Mick Taylor left the Rolling Stones, Richards invited Wood to join them; he did so in 1975, initially temporarily, but became an official member in 1976.
Besides I've Got My Own Album to Do, Wood has recorded several other solo efforts. Now Look was released in 1975 and peaked at No. 118 on Billboard; he also collaborated with Ronnie Lane for the soundtrack album Mahoney's Last Stand. Wood also released Gimme Some Neck in 1979, which hit No. 45 in the US; 1234 was released in 1981, peaking at No. 164. He released Slide on This in 1992, Not for Beginners in 2002, and I Feel Like Playing in 2010. As a member of the Rolling Stones, Wood was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1989 and was inducted a second time, as a member of Faces, in 2012.

Ronnie Wood (The Rolling Stones) - Cancel Everything (I've Got My Own Album to Do) (1974)

Year: 13 September 1974 (CD 1985)
Label: Thunderbolt Records (UK), CD TB 2.034
Style: Rock, Pop Rock
Country: Hillingdon, Middlesex, England (1 June 1947)
Time: 47:36
Format: Flac Tracks 16/44,1 kHz
Size: 282 Mb

If you’re looking to round out your Rolling Stones collection, you could do a lot worse than I’ve Got My Own Album To Do. Although Ron Wood wouldn’t join the Stones for another year still, his first album is a kind of early audition featuring Keith Richards, Mick Taylor and Mick Jagger. The album also features not one but two Richard/Jagger compositions: “Act Together” and “Sure The One You Need.”
Wood wastes little time in making a strong impression, bringing in Mick Jagger on the first track (“I Can Feel The Fire”) and George Harrison on the second (“Far East Man”). It’s a hard act to follow, and Wood’s vocals are more in line with Ronnie Lane than Rod Stewart (who contributes backing vocals on a few tracks), but a lot of help from a lot of friends helps to smooth out the rough edges. Not everything here is gold: a cover of “If You Got To Make A Fool of Somebody” is half baked, “Shirley” is sexist nonsense. Yet the consensus is that IGMOATD is the best of Wood’s works.
“I Can Feel The Fire,” “Cancel Everything” and “Far East Man” are better than I expected, and the interplay between Wood, Richards and Ian McLagan is a treat to hear. It’s all a bit roguish, which is what you’d expect given Wood’s legend, and more than a little fun. The album apparently slipped under the radar, strange given the success of Rod Stewart and the Stones at the time, and is well worth the discovery if you haven’t already had the pleasure.

Keith Richards (The Rolling Stones) - Talk Is Cheap [MFSL-CD] (1988)

Year: 3 October 1988 (CD Feb 1992)
Label: Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab (US), UDCD 557
Style: Rock, Pop Rock
Country: Dartford, Kent, England (18 December 1943)
Time: 47:07
Format: Flac Tracks 16/44,1 kHz
Size: 292 Mb

Like Paul Hogan goading wannabe muggers in Crocodile Dundee as he unsheathed a whopping blade (“That’s a knife? This is a knife”), there were no half-measures when Keith Richards retaliated to Mick Jagger derailing the Rolling Stones in favour of his ill-advised solo career 30 years ago. Reluctantly at first, Richards formed a band that rocked and made what was hailed as the best Stones album in years.
The civil war between the two Stones flared in 1983 after Jagger sneaked solo opportunities into the band's new CBS mega-deal and released MTV-geared She's The Boss. This soured recording of Dirty Work, but touring behind his album with another band (playing Stones classics) ignited Keith's own offensive.
Like a polar opposite to Jagger’s synthesised clatter, Talk Is Cheap brimmed with humble soul and rolled like a train, with Keith in fine voice. Studded with loose, joyous rockers (Take It So Hard, How I Wish, the Jagger-directed You Don’t Move Me) and gorgeous ballads (Make No Mistake, Locked Away burnished in authentic Memphis soul), it sold a million and ignited Keith’s solo career, while precipitating the Stones’ return.

Bill Wyman (The Rolling Stones) - Monkey Grip (1974)

Year: 10 May 1974 (CD 1996)
Label: Sequel Records (UK), NEM CD 846
Style: Rock, Pop Rock
Country: Lewisham, London, England (24 October 1936)
Time: 36:21
Format: Flac Tracks 16/44,1 kHz
Size: 229 Mb

Monkey Grip is the debut album by Rolling Stones bassist Bill Wyman. It was released in 1974 by Rolling Stones Records. Although Wyman sings on every track on the album, he had only sung lead on one song in the Rolling Stones, the 1967 song "In Another Land".
In a retrospective review, AllMusic rated the album four stars out of five. They noted "I Wanna Get Me a Gun", "White Lightnin" and "I'll Pull You Thro" as the best songs on the album and hinted approval of Wyman's vocals, describing them as "loose and joy-filled". They also praised the album for avoiding the usual egotism of solo albums: "Though these types of albums can be self-absorbed affairs, Monkey Grip is meant to be a relaxed, unpretentious outlet for the compositions that would never see the light of day in Wyman's main band – and, as a credit to the bassist, it comes off exactly that way."
