An American-only release at the time, consisting of a few tracks from the forthcoming UK Rolling Stones No. 2 album, the UK 5X5 EP, and a few singles. Given the scattershot nature of the album, gathered from so many sources, it s a surprisingly cohesive collection. Mainly, it s a continuation of the first album a collection of blues covers with some originals thrown in. The material here is slightly stronger than the first album containing Time is On My Side which started their rise to prominence in the US although the version on the original LP has the organ intro instead of the more familiar guitar intro . It also contains the highly energetic It s All Over Now , with the enigmatic Playing her high-class game line that sounds like something else I probably can t repeat here. Two of the originals, Empty Heart and 2120 South Michigan Avenue , work more as grooves rather than songs, but they seem to foreshadow a sort of proto-funk by a few years
EXCERPT FROM AN ONLINE REVIEW BY RUSSELL NEWTON, ALL MUSIC GUIDE /ALLMUSIC.COM/
When , according to the legend, Rolling Stones unloaded their guitars and amps in 1964 at the Chess recording studios in Chicago, to record the album s worth of songs, it was none other than Howlin Wolf who helped them unload their amps n stuff. The Rolling Stones returned the favor - and kept returning it for many years thereafter - by including many Chicago bluesmen in their TV appearances, by making cameos on their albums and by - like they did here - recording many classic chess blues covers. This is the Rolling Stones second US LP A GENUINE PIECE OF ROCK N ROLL HISTORY.

CONDITION:
THE RECORD
IMPORTANT NOTE: unless otherwise noted, ALL records are graded visually, and NOT play-graded we grade records under the strong, diffuse room light or discrete sunlight
a WE GRADE THE VINYL AS NEAR MINT. Some VERY LIGHT AND SUPERFICIAL abrasions mostly sleeve scuffs - are barely visible, but are probably inaudible, and do not affect visual integrity or beauty of the vinyl. The original luster is very much intact, and the vinyl shines and sparkles almost like new.
b The record is pressed on a beautiful, thick, inflexible vinyl, which was usually used for the first or very early pressings. Usually, the sound on such thick vinyl pressings is full-bodied, vivid, and even dramatic. Do not expect to obtain such a majestic analog sound from a digital recording
c The record has a deep groove an indent in the label about 1/2-inch from the edge of the label, which on SOME labels is associated with very early or first pressings .
d Mono pressing of this title is much rarer, and by far more preferable to its FAKE electronically rechannelled stereo counterpart. We estimate that FAKE stereo copies of this album outnumber monos by a ratio of at least 10:1.
e The record comes in a poly-lined London inner sleeve, which has - apparently with success - shielded the vinyl from the harmful impact of elements over many years
