Recording

Again, this album consists largely of R&B covers, although it does include five tracks written by the Rolling Stones themselves - three by the developing Jagger/Richards partnership, and two under the pseudonym Nanker Phelge (a name given to songs where the whole group co-wrote the track, so they could share royalties).
