12 X 5 is the second
American album by The Rolling Stones released in 1964 following
the massive success of their debut The Rolling Stones in the UK and the
promising sales of its American substitute England's Newest Hit Makers.

Not surprisingly, 12 X 5 followed its predecessor's tendency to
largely feature R&B
covers, however it does contain three compositions from the still-developing Mick Jagger/Keith
Richards songwriting team, as well as two group compositions under
the pseudonym of "Nanker Phelge".

After a series of sessions in Chicago in June 1964, The Rolling Stones' UK label Decca Records
released the five song EP Five by Five. Because
EPs were never a lucrative format in the US, London
Records - their American distributor at the time - spread the EP
songs across an entire album, adding seven new recordings to create a release
of 12 songs by 5 musicians, hence the album's title. Decca would use the same
cover (minus the lettering) for The Rolling Stones' second UK album The Rolling Stones No. 2 in early
1965.

12 X 5 proved to be a faster seller than England's Newest Hit
Makers, reaching #3 and going gold quickly.

In August 2002, 12 X 5 was reissued in a new remastered CD and SACD digipak
by ABKCO Records.
This edition includes stereo versions of "Around and Around",
"Confessin' the Blues", "Empty Heart", "It's All Over
Now", "2120 South Michigan Avenue", and "If You Need
Me".
