"The Rolling Stones" is the band's debut album, released by Decca Records in the UK on 16 April 1964. The album was included in Robert Dimery's 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die.
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 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."
Early labels and covers had misprints with the 4th track on side 1 listed as "Mona" which was later changed to "I Need You Baby, and 'Dozier' spelt 'Bozier', as is the case with this album.
The album cover photo was taken by Nicholas Wright. The cover bears no title or identifying information other than the photo and the Decca logo – an "unheard of" design concept originated by manager Andrew Oldham.
Upon its release, The Rolling Stones became one of 1964's biggest sellers in the UK, staying at No. 1 for twelve weeks.
