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.
