I WANNA TELL YOU
HOW IT'S GONNA BE
YOU'RE GONNA GIVE YOUR
LOVE TO ME...
The Rolling Stones (UK)/
ENGLAND'S NEWEST HIT MAKERS (US)
is the
debut
studio album
by the English
Rock band
The Rolling Stones
released by
Decca Records
in the UK
on
April, 17th 1964.
The American edition
of the LP,
with a
slightly different
track list,
came out on
London Records on
May 20th 1964,
subtitled
England's Newest Hit Makers,
which later
became its
official title.

Recording
Recorded at
Regent Sound Studios
in London
over the course
of five days
in January
and
February 1964,
The Rolling Stones
was produced by
then-managers
Andrew Loog Oldham
and
Eric Easton.
The album was
originally released by
Decca Records
in the UK,
while the
US version
appeared on
the London Records
label.
The majority
of the tracks reflect
the band's love
for R&B.
Mick Jagger
and
Keith Richards
whose professional name
until 1978
omitted the
"s"
in his surname
were fledgling
songwriters
during early 1964,
contributing only one
original composition
to the album:
"Tell Me (You're Coming Back)".
Two songs are
credited to
"Nanker Phelge"
a pseudonym the band
used for group
compositions from
1963 to 1965.
Phil Spector
and
Gene Pitney
both contributed to
the recording sessions,
and are
referred to as
"Uncle Phil and Uncle Gene"
in the subtitle
of the
Phelge instrumental
"Now I've Got a Witness".
The original
British version
of the album
was released on
compact disc
in 1984,
but became
out-of-print
on CD
for many years
afterwards.
In November 2010,
it was made available
as part of a
limited edition
vinyl box
set titled
The Rolling Stones
1964–1969,
and by itself digitally
at the same time.
The original title
was also reinstated
as part of
The Rolling Stones
in Mono CD
box set,
released on
September 30th 2016.
The album was
only released
in mono
in both the
UK and US;
no true
stereo mix
was ever made.
The US version
of the album,
originally self-titled
but later officially called
England's Newest Hit Makers,
was the band's
debut US album
and was released by
London Records on
May 20th 1964,
a month and a half
after the
British version.
The track
"Not Fade Away"
(the A-side of the band's third UK single)
replaced
"I Need You Baby",
and the titles
of the tracks
"Now I've Got a Witness
(Like Uncle Phil and Uncle Gene)"
and
"Tell Me (You're Coming Back)"
were shortened to
"Now I've Got a Witness"
and
"Tell Me"
on most versions
of the
American release.
Upon its release,
The Rolling Stones
reached No. 11
in the US,
going gold
in the process.
To date,
this is the Rolling Stones'
only American
studio album
that has failed to place
in the top five
on the
Billboard album charts.
In August 2002,
the album,
by now
officially called
England's Newest Hit Makers
