The Rolling Stones’ second American LP 12 x 5 marked a clear progression from blues roots to full-blown rock. Soulful tracks like It’s All Over Now (their first UK No. 1) and Time Is on My Side (their first U.S. Top 10 hit) were transformed into guitar-driven anthems. The album also features standout moments like the blistering instrumental jam 2120 South Michigan Avenue and Around and Around, one of their finest Chuck Berry covers. 12 X 5 pulls together the UK EP Five by Five, four tracks from the second UK LP, and both sides of the It’s All Over Now single.
