Story & Background
This 1968 pressing takes us back to the almost brazen audacity of the original 1964 release, a record that already broke the mould with its aesthetics.
One of the most fascinating and distinctive curiosities of The Rolling Stones' self-titled debut for DECCA is undoubtedly its cover, which became legendary for its minimalist defiance of conventions. At the time, it was established practice for records to clearly display the artist's name and album title on the cover, crucial elements for recognition and sales in record shops. Instead, for their first British LP, The Rolling Stones chose a photograph by David Bailey, a close-up and almost cheeky portrait of the band members, completely devoid of any textual indication. This decision, strongly desired by the visionary manager Andrew Loog Oldham and the band themselves, was a bold and unconventional marketing move, a statement of intent. They wanted the iconic image to speak for itself, prompting the public to identify the "bad boys" of rock solely by their faces, a gesture of rebellion that immediately marked their iconoclastic and unforgettable career.
