The Rolling Stones, Now! stands out as their strongest early dive into R&B, showcasing the band’s sharpest interpretations of blues and soul classics. This 1965 collection highlights covers like "Down Home Girl," Bo Diddley’s "Mona," and Otis Redding’s "Pain In My Heart," all delivered with a dark, murky texture that hints at the group’s early efforts to mirror their musical heroes as closely as possible. The inclusion of "Little Red Rooster," with Brian Jones's slide guitar work, adds a pure blues gem that British fans knew well, even if it was just an album track over here. This record offers a rare glimpse into the Stones’ evolving sound, where a vintage vibe meets focused, acoustic-driven arrangements. Pressed in the same year as the original release, this vinyl pressing lets you experience the album as it was heard in the mid-60s. The record’s condition is VG, so expect some surface noise and visible wear typical of a well-played disc, but it remains entirely playable. For anyone intrigued by the Stones’ formative years and their earnest blues homage, this copy delivers a solid vintage listening experience—proving that even early on, the band knew how to keep their R&B covers well above average, with no weak cuts to trip over. It’s a record that refuses to be just “now,” standing up nicely to repeated plays.

Sound samples are included to help you get a feel for the music, but they may not always match the exact pressing or track version of the record listed. When in doubt, trust the photos and pressing information - that's the actual record you're buying.
