Who wants to know how the Stones have yet consulted at the beginning of this disc hear up here. Here also some of the great idols of the early Stones are visible; because of this the Stones have still taken a few cover versions (Jimmy Reed's "Honest I Do", Chuck Berry's "Carol"), even for that time some quite old songs in the original (though one knows these songs mostly in the Stones- Version ; are interpreted always better; the sound of these versions also sounds quite "Stones" - typical of).
Apart from the pure rock and roll song "Carol" the remaining material is strong on rhythm and blues and blues-oriented here. It's going on here has always been pretty fast too; there is no real ballad.
3 original songs (out of 12), the Stones have been controlled here: "Now I've got a witness", "Little by Little" and "Tell me (You're Coming Back)". The latter -this the best songs on the album - is song still strong at the early Beatles
oriented, which are hereby outed as an important early influence.
The production of the album seems quite archaic; one is still a far cry from the expensive productions later years here. And although this version "digitally re- mastered" is now alleged, it sounds to me not at fault and noise free at.
But it is - similar to the early Beatles - especially the simplicity of production (as the disk would have been included in the basement), which makes the music of many fans as authentic. The playing and singing joy of the band is here not to miss in any case!
And nevertheless, the Stones were with this album at first 11 weeks (!) Long on No. 1 in the British charts. The "Stone Age" - age started!
And in fact, this album is that for today's ears still very "innocent" sounds, even very good. If you like these older R & B sound, which is on the album have been thrilled.
The album is characteristic of the very early Stones.
I think it is one of the best of the Stones in the 60s; at least until "Beggard Banquet" or "Let It Bleed", which differ from the sound, however, very by this here.
Only the Berry song "Come on", the first ("Hit") - Single of the Stones I miss on this album very much. That surprises me greatly; because this song was in Stones- version of the best of their early days. This therefore I am very surprised that you had not then taken him on this album; particularly as he can be found on many compilations of the Stones!
CONCLUSION: convince the Stones already with their first studio album. For Stones- fans and friends of the sound of that time in Britain a true listening pleasure!
