The Rolling Stones discography

The English rock group the Rolling Stones have released 30 studio albums, 23 live albums, 25 compilation albums, three extended play singles, and 120 singles. The early albums and singles released from 1963 to 1967 were originally released on Decca Records in the United Kingdom, and on their subsidiary label London Records in the United States.

It was common practice in the music industry prior to 1967 for British releases to be reconfigured for the American market. In some cases, the US version would be an entirely different album with different tracks, cover photos and liner notes. The first five British Rolling Stones albums were converted into seven LPs for the American market, adding material from singles and the UK EPs. The two Big Hits singles packages, respectively from 1966 and 1969, differ in each nation, and in the case of December's Children (And Everybody's) and Flowers, there are no UK counterparts. The Rolling Stones' LP releases from Their Satanic Majesties Request in 1967 forward are uniform in both the UK and the US, except for Through the Past, Darkly (Big Hits Vol. 2).

Singles

  • In some cases the single's B-side charted separately.
  • First single in the US is "Not Fade Away" b/w "I Wanna Be Your Man", respectively the A-sides of the group's third and second singles in the UK.
  • On 19 August 1963, the band recorded "Poison Ivy" and "Fortune Teller" to be their second single. A few hundred copies were pressed, but the single was withdrawn. These recordings would be included on the album Saturday Club, a compilation of tracks from various artists appearing on the Saturday Club (BBC radio) show of the time.
