ROLLING STONE
RECORDS

Independent label: Rolling Stone Records was the Rolling Stones' own label; it was set up in 1971, with Marshall Chess as label manager and Atlantic as distributor in the USA; the idea was for it to feature and develop new talent discovered by the Stones, but that never really happened.  Apart from a few things by Peter Tosh and a group called Kracker, the label's output consisted of records by the Rolling Stones as individuals and as a group.  In Britain the label was handled by Kinney / WEA in the early '70s; manufacture was by CBS, as WEA did not have its own pressing facilities at that time.  The first single appears to have been distributed by Kinney for a brief period before that company entered into a joint distribution / manufacture deal with CBS, in the middle of 1971.  When WEA set up its own distribution network, in early 1976, the Rolling Stones label went with it.  EMI took over both manufacture and distribution from the spring of 1977; the label design remained basically the same but the style and placement of the credits changed and the logo gained a few touches of white.  Singles had their own RS-19100 catalogue numbers during the Kinney / WEA period; during the EMI years they initially shared EMI's singles series before being given an RSR-100 series of their own.  The company continued on to 1991; it never had its name on its label, the 'lips' logo being reckoned sufficient identification. Many of the gaps in the discography are due to the numbers being used for overseas releases. Thanks to Robert Lyons For The Info.
