Story & Background
"The Rolling Stones No. 2" represents the quintessence of the band's homage to American blues, an album whose authenticity is deeply rooted in its origins. A fascinating and iconic anecdote concerns the June 1964 recording sessions at the legendary Chess Studios in Chicago. Here, the young Stones, who idolised the masters of blues, had an almost surreal encounter with Muddy Waters. The celebrated bluesman was present in the studios, not to record, but, according to one of the most widespread and poetic versions of the anecdote, he was even painting the ceiling or moving equipment. This episode, a vivid image of humility from a giant of music, had an enormous impact on the boys from Dartford. Their devotion was immortalised in tracks like "2120 South Michigan Avenue", whose title is the exact address of the Chess studios, transforming that place into a true sonic sanctuary, pulsating with history and inspiration, an energy that this DECCA record magnificently captures even in early pressings like this one from '66.
