12 x 5 (LP)

12 x 5 was the Stones' second U.S. full-length release. Originally released in October of 1964, 12 x 5 combines the Five by Five EP (recorded at Chess Studios in Chicago) with the singles "It's All Over Now" and "Time Is on My Side" and the B-sides of those singles.

Also part of the 12 x 5 tune stack are three more tracks that were later included in the Stones' second UK full-length The Rolling Stones No. 2. 12 x 5 is dominated by the Stones' takes on R&B and blues songs. The way in which Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts, Bill Wyman and Brian Jones interpreted these songs shaped and informed the hard blues/R&B wing of the British Invasion in ensuing years.
