Album Notes & Community Reviews

Recorded mostly in a single room to capture their live club energy, the band's debut consists heavily of American rhythm and blues covers. Keith Richards' rhythm guitar and Brian Jones' harmonica define the gritty, unpolished sound that contrasted with the era's cleaner pop acts.
