At the close of 1963, the Rolling Stones were, for want of a better word, on a — roll. They’d done okay if not great the previous summer with their debut single, a cover of a Chuck Berry obscurity called “Come On,” which was more energetic than 99 percent of its competition, and then roared into the Top 20 in November with a follow up single, a savage rendition of the Lennon-McCartney song “I Wanna Be Your Man,” complete with slide guitar and a bass that sounded like its amplifier was cranked up to 12.

And then they were ready to take the next step. No; not an LP, which in those days was reserved for relative elites in the music business, but an EP, an extended-play single, containing four songs and priced accordingly higher. It would presumably generate twice the revenue and show some more of what the band could do. At the time, this didn’t include songwriting, which they’d only just started trying to do in earnest (especially after seeing how Paul McCartney and John Lennon had delivered “I Wanna Be Your Man” to them on the spot, as a favor). So the question was, what songs would be on the EP (rather unimaginatively titled The Rolling Stones)? They’d previously struggled to find a second single — before Lennon and McCartney stepped in — trying and failing — with results that were closer to a limp version of “The Little Drummer Boy” than to anything by the Coasters — to cut one of their favorite American songs, Leiber & Stoller’s “Poison Ivy.” ― Allmusic
