Rolling Stones: Rolling Stones Records
built 231 days ago
The Rolling Stones’ endurance is a gift and a curse. Some people hold up their dogged fidelity to their tried-and-tested routine as the perfect design for living to anybody who wants a career past the regulation four albums. And for others, the fact that The Rolling Stones are able to get away with their same tried-and-tested routine in the year 2005 is held up as evidence that human progress has somehow been stunted. These people reckon that if John Lennon had survived, he’d be making techno records by now, which is tosh.

Unlike Swan Song Records or Apple Records, the vanity labels of Led Zeppelin and The Beatles respectively, Rolling Stones Records never made much of an effort to sign outside artists. Throughout the early 1970s, American singer-songwriter & Keith Richards cohort Gram Parsons lobbied to record a hypothetical album to be produced by Richards; he travelled with the group during their 1971 English tour and eventually moved in with Richards (Nellcôte in Villefranche-sur-mer) during the recording of Exile on Main Street. Parsons' physical state deteriorated rapidly during the sessions and he was asked to leave by Anita Pallenberg; he would eventually sign with Warner Bros. Records. Kracker, a Cuban rock group produced by Rolling Stones' producer, Jimmy Miller, was the first band to be signed to Rolling Stones Records in 1973. Kracker, along with Billy Preston, opened the show for the Stones during their 1973 European Tour.

The follow-up album, The Rolling Stones #2 was ... composed mainly of cover tunes, only now augmented by a couple of songs written by the fledgling partnership of Jagger and Richards. Encouraged by Oldham, the band toured Europe and America continuously in their support, playing to packed crowds of screaming teenagers in scenes reminiscent of the height of Beatlemania. While on tour they took time to visit important locations in the history of the music that inspired them, recording the EP Five By Five at the studios of Chess Records in Chicago.
