12 X 5 The Rolling Stones (CD) – The Rolling Stones

Remastered 1964 compilation originally released to coincide with the band’s second American tour. Essentially an expanded version of the UK EP Five by Five, plus their third & fourth American singles, “It’s All Over Now”, recorded at Chess, and the first Billboard top 10 hit, “Time is on My Side”, which features an organ intro rather than the better known guitar version that’s the second British album. Mick and Keith’s songwriting partnership is hitting it’s stride by this time, with three of their songs on the album, “Congratulations”, “Grown Up Wrong” and the excellent “Good Times, Bad Times”, an homage to the country blues singers they loved so much.
