In 1964: What American Rolling Stones' Fans Did NOT See

________________________________________________________________________________________________

 

The British release of

the Rolling Stones' first album 

was wordless except for 

the word Decca

(the recording company)

 

The British liner notes

contained a controversial

statement which was deleted

from the American liner notes

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Both the controversial statement

and the wordless cover were 

the brainstorm of their manager,

ANDREW LOOG OLDHAM 

 

Hot off the press, the album

was a big hit on both sides of the pond

 

The Rolling Stones'

debut album officially 

became known as

England's Newest  Hitmakers
