Release Notes

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the early 1950s Keith Richards and Mick Jagger were classmates at Wentworth

Primary School in Dartford, Kent.[2] They met again in 1960 while Richards was

attending Sidcup Art College.[3] Richards recalled, "I was still going to school, and he was going up to the London
School of Economics... So I get on this train one morning, and there's Jagger and under his arm he has four or five
albums... He's got Chuck Berry and Muddy Waters".[4] With mutual friend Dick Taylor (later of Pretty Things), they
formed the band Little Boy Blue and the Blue Boys. Stones founders Brian Jones and pianist Ian Stewart were active in
the London R&B scene fostered by Cyril Davies and Alexis Korner. Jagger and Richards met Jones while he was playing
slide guitar sitting in with Korner's Blues Incorporated. Korner also had hired Jagger periodically and frequently
future Stones drummer Charlie Watts. Their first rehearsal was organised by Jones and included Stewart, Jagger and
Richards - the latter came along at Jagger's invitation. In June 1962 the lineup was: Jagger, Richards, Stewart, Jones,
Taylor, and drummer Tony Chapman. Taylor then left the group. Jones named the band The Rollin' Stones, after the song
"Rollin' Stone" by Muddy Waters.
In 1970 the band's contracts with both Allen Klein and Decca Records ended, and

amid contractual disputes with Klein, they formed their own record company,

Rolling Stones Records. Sticky Fingers (UK number 1; US 1), released in March

1971, the band's first album on their own label, featured an elaborate cover

design by Andy Warhol. The album contains one of their best known hits, "Brown

Sugar", and the country-influenced "Wild Horses". Both were recorded at

Alabama's Muscle Shoals Sound Studio during the 1969 American tour. The album

continued the band's immersion into heavily blues-influenced compositions. The

album is noted for its "loose, ramshackle ambience" and marked Mick Taylor's

first full release with the band.
