Rolling Stones Vinyl Records – Classic Albums & Essential Reissues

The Rolling Stones built one of the most consequential catalogues in rock from a foundation of American R&B, country and blues — refracted through London in the mid-1960s and then through a series of recording rooms across the world over six decades. The classic late-60s and early-70s run remains the centre of gravity of any serious vinyl collection.

The original UK pressings of Sticky Fingers and Exile on Main St. — with their period mastering and gatefold artwork — are among the most-sought records of the era; the modern half-speed reissues bring the sound back to vinyl-cut-from-the-original-tape standards.

Best The Rolling Stones Albums on Vinyl

Exile on Main St. (1972)
— A sprawling, ragged double album recorded in the south of France during tax exile. Country, gospel, blues, soul and rock all in one envelope. Their best.

Sticky Fingers (1971)
— The album with the Warhol zipper sleeve. "Brown Sugar", "Wild Horses", "Can't You Hear Me Knocking". Tight, confident, peak Stones.

Let It Bleed (1969)
— The pivot from psychedelia to rootsier sounds; "Gimme Shelter" opens it, "You Can't Always Get What You Want" closes it.

Beggars Banquet (1968)
— The first of the classic run, with "Sympathy for the Devil" and "Street Fighting Man". Acoustic, blues-inflected and politically alert.
