Info for The Rolling Stones No. 2

The Rolling Stones No. 2 is the second UK album by the Rolling Stones released in 1965 following the massive success of 1964's debut The Rolling Stones. Not surprisingly, The Rolling Stones No. 2 followed its predecessor's tendency to largely feature R&B covers. However, it does contain three compositions from the still-developing Mick Jagger/Keith Richards songwriting team. On Dutch and German pressings of the album, the title is listed as The Rolling Stones Vol. 2 on the front cover, although the back of the album cover lists the title as The Rolling Stones No. 2.

Because Bailey and Mick were good friends he placed Mick so no one thought he was getting preferential treatment. Unusual for a British band of the time, much of it was recorded in America, some tracks at Chess studios with Ron Malo, and others at RCA studios in Hollywood with engineer Dave Hassinger. The album doesn’t feature any British singles releases but “Off The Hook” was the B-side of UK No.1 “Little Red Rooster”, and “What A Shame” was the B-side of US hit “Heart of Stone” (No.19). Both these B-sides are Jagger/ Richards compositions, along with “Grown Up Wrong”. Ian Stewart plays brilliant boogie woogie piano on “Down the Road Apiece” and Jack Nitzsche plays piano some of the songs recorded in Los Angeles.

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."
