Story & Background
This first American pressing from 1966 on the London Records label is emblematic of the editorial differences that characterised The Rolling Stones' discography between the two sides of the Atlantic. Released strategically months before the British version (which would have a different cover and tracklist), the album was assembled to consolidate the band's American success. It included crucial singles such as "Tell Me" and "Heart of Stone", essential for their breakthrough in the USA, and the delicate "As Tears Go By", which showcased their growing compositional depth. This move not only served as a powerful compendium of their early big hits, but was also a deliberate strategy by London to maximise their impact and legacy in the competitive US record market.
