The Rolling Stones Discography
The discography of the English rock group The Rolling Stones consists of 29 studio albums, 17 live albums, 30 compilation albums, three extended play singles, and 107 singles. The early albums and singles released from 1963 to 1967 were originally released on Decca Records in the UK, and on their subsidiary label London Records in the US.
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, liner notes, and so on. The first five Rolling Stones albums were converted into eight LPs for American consumption, 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. After The Beatles insisted that their magnum opus Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band be released internationally with identical track configurations and cover art, this practice was quickly abandoned. Rolling Stones' LP releases from Their Satanic Majesties Request in 1967 forward are uniform in both the UK and the US, except for the abovementioned Through the Past, Darkly (Big Hits Vol. 2).

Famous quotes containing the words rolling and/or stones:
“The Concord had rarely been a river, or rivus, but barely fluvius, or between fluvius and lacus. This Merrimack was neither rivus nor fluvius nor lacus, but rather amnis here, a gently swelling and stately rolling flood approaching the sea. We could even sympathize with its buoyant tied, going to seek its fortune in the ocean, and anticipating the time when “being received within the plain of its freer water,” it should “beat the shore for banks.””
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“And no less firmly do I hold that we shall one day recognize in Freud’s life-work the cornerstone for the building of a new anthropology and therewith of a new structure, to which many stones are being brought up today, which shall be the future dwelling of a wiser and freer humanity.”
—Thomas Mann (1875–1955)
