Two aspects characterize this album: one is the stormy enthusiasm of the Rolling Stones for the blues, rhythm and blues and rock and roll their black idols that they covered extensively here: Muddy Waters (whose I just want to make love to you significantly accelerated), Keith's idol Chuck Berry (which Carol and version of Route 66 they took over), the high-spirited Walking the Dog Rufus Thomas or Jimmy Reed Honest I DO. Gene Allison You can make it if you try opened the series of Soul Covers in 6/8, which should be continued on subsequent albums. Now I've got a Witness, the only album filler is simply an instrumental version of Marvin Gaye's Can I Get a Witness, which allowed the Stones to pocket Gruppentantiemen under the pseudonym Phelge what original at Little by little worked (although this too much said to have been "inspired" by Jimmy Reed's Shame, Shame, Shame).
Secondly, the album radiates (another parallel to "Please Please Me") to this day lasting freshness and especially a surprising confidence that just twenty years of blues enthusiasts - a perfect start! On the (original as "The Rolling Stones No. 2" titled) UK-successors lacked this freshness and originality of the song selection already again.
In May '64, the album was released on the US market, where it did not renounce the band's name on the cover and the hit single Not fade away as presented draft horse at the beginning and it separated from Mona (I Need You Baby) to accommodate it on the next album, probably because it Diddley rhythm was kept as Not fade away in typical Bo.
Too bad that ABKCO at the early Stones remasters (up to "Out of Our Heads") could bring themselves 2002 does not, at least, the US and UK versions rauszubringen or in this case, only the self-authorized by the Stones UK version; the US edition is unnecessary because emergency is fadeaway yes appeared on countless compilations. The unfortunate, the UK albums zerpflückenden US publication policy of the 60 it is thanks to so that you spend a lot of money to date that has to buy a lot of songs on several occasions, to get at all the scattered Stones songs.
With a running time of just over 31 minutes, I have allowed myself, for the car add the following single and EP tracks from the period '63 / '64:
Come on / I want to be loved; I Wanna Be Your Man / Stoned; Poison Ivy (1st version) / Fortune Teller; EP "The Rolling Stones": Bye bye Johnny / Money / You better move on / Poison Ivy (2nd Version); Surprise Surprise; Look what you've done; It's all over now / Good Times, Bad Times; EP "Five by Five": If You Need Me / Empty Heart / 2120 South Michigan Avenue / Confessin 'the Blues / Around and around.
Vol. 2 to be proposed by me deluxe edition would still doo ron ron Da outtakes, Memphis Tennessee, Do not lie to me, Tell me baby (How Many More Times), Meet Me in the Bottom, High-Heeled Sneakers and the officially available stereo mixes of Look what you've done, it's all over now, and the EP "Five by Five" (see above) included.
In this way, I have summarized my entire early catalog of the Rolling Stones on four CDs. Well, grABKCO, that would not even have an idea?
