Story & Background
"Rock'N Rolling Stones", released in 1972 by DECCA, perfectly embodies the label's strategy after the departure of Rolling Stones. After the band founded their own Rolling Stones Records in 1970, DECCA found itself with an immense catalogue but no new productions, prompting it to release compilations like this one, a clear attempt to further capitalise on the band's enormous past success. Curiously, the cover art of these releases, often not supervised by the Stones themselves, featured generic images or archive photos, highlighting the now unbridgeable gap between the artists and their former label, while DECCA continued to monetise the rights to their early masterpieces. The band, meanwhile, was moving towards new artistic and recording directions. For collectors, the first European DECCA pressings from 1972, like this one, are particularly sought after for the excellent quality of the original mastering, offering a pure and faithful listening experience of that golden era and a precious historical fragment of the complex relationship between the artists and their past.
