Untitled[edit]

In 1964 it was not that unusual for a rock band to do an album with only one song written by the band itself. There were quite a few well known bands of the era who did not even have one song written by the band members, given that the seven inch 45 single was far more important in rock than the album.

The Rolling Stones Album Cover[edit]

I may found the original album cover for UK version of album The Rolling Stones. If you want it, contact me: fumfera_jaromir@seznam.cz

Shouldn't this be merged?[edit]

With this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/England%27s_Newest_Hit_Makers? -Tubeyes (talk) 20:24, 10 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Merge. It is mostly the same text anyway. I believe that other bands on wikipedia who have British & American versions of their albums typically include both in one article. Einar aka Carptrash (talk) 18:38, 1 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Honest I Do[edit]

Just a general question -- it shows that the UK release of 'Honest I Do' is more than a minute shorter than the version on the American release. Does anyone have any information about this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.155.60.78 (talk) 19:45, 20 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Why are the EP songs here?[edit]

I am curious as to why the 4 songs from the Rolling Stones EP are listed in this article under "Other songs". These were recorded at an earlier session from the album, and the EP was released earlier. I am not aware of and am unable to find a release of the album that includes these songs. Even if this is legitimate the article should reflect why these tracks are listed here - bonus tracks on a particular version, part of a combined release, etc. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Timbob58 (talk • contribs) 14:27, 6 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
