History


Because Mick Jagger and Keith Richards were still honing their songwriting skills, only "Empty Heart" and "2120 South Michigan Avenue" were credited to "Nanker Phelge", a pseudonym for band-written compositions. The rest of the EP is composed of R&B covers from some of their favorite artists. Andrew Loog Oldham produced five" target="_blank">Five by five" target="_blank">Five and even contributed liner notes where he lists the band's achievements thus far (and stretches the truth by claiming the Rolling Stones' debut album had spent 30 weeks at #1 when it, in fact, was at the top for 12).
The full recording of "2120 South Michigan Avenue", now heard on the remastered 12 X 5, was faded early here for lack of time available on a conventional EP in 1964.
