Info zu The Rolling Stones

Released to coincide with the Stones’ arrival in New York City on 1st June 1964, where they began their first US tour. The band played to very small audiences in the eight cities. The track listing is the same as their eponymous first UK release, but it includes the Womack and Womack classic, “Not Fade Away”. The inclusion of the hit song and good airplay helped the album make no. 11 in the Billboard Top 50.

The first full-length Rolling Stones album is a raw document of their early sound, which at this point was still Early British Tinny, even on this pristine HRA-re-issue. However, the band's growing confidence throughout the course of „The Rolling Stones“ is almost palpable. Their take on Willie Dixon's 'I Just Want to Make Love to You' is steeped in Chicago blues filtered through a West London sensibility, while the insistent harp on their hit cover of Buddy Holly's 'Not Fade Away' is an early example of the band's technique of using blues riffs as pop hooks. 'Tell Me' is a fairly embryonic attempt at Tin Pan Alley songwriting (they're far more at home with the raw R&B of 'Little By Little') and it's obvious that at this early stage the band was most comfortable performing R&B covers, such as Rufus Thomas's classic 'Walking the Dog,' and particularly Chuck Berry's 'Carol,' which remained a staple of the band's live shows for some years.

Digitally remastered

About the remastering process:
"Many years of research went into locating the original mono and stereo analog tapes that would be used in ABKCO's Rolling Stones Remastered Series. That research revealed a treasure trove of first generation tapes - true stereo masters from The Stones' 1964 Chess Studios sessions including the unedited version of "2120 South Michigan Avenue," Beggar's Banquet at its correct speed and Let It Bleed with splicing that indicates that the original intention was to leave little spacing between each cut.

For the analog to digital transfers, vintage reel-to-reel tape machines were utilized - a modified Ampex 351 with original tube electronics (full track mono and two track stereo) and an Ampex ATR-102 modified with Aria Discrete Class-A Electronics (full track mono and two track stereo). A Sonoma DSD digital audio workstation was the chosen high resolution format and Meitner Design ADC8 and DAC8 MKlV converters were used for the conversion process. Cables used were the cryogenically frozen type supplied to us by Gus Skinas of Super Audio Center. Gus also provided much guidance to Jody Klein, Steve Rosenthal and myself for our first time use of DSD technology. For this HD release, the Bob Ludwig mastered DSD files were converted to both 176.4kHz and 88.2kHz high resolution PCM with Weiss Saracon conversion software."
