Singles 1963-1965

Singles 1963–1965 is a box set compilation of the singles and EPs by the Rolling Stones spanning the years 1963 to 1965. Part of a series of repackages by ABKCO Records, who license the Rolling Stones' 1963–1970 recorded works, Singles 1963–1965 is the first of three successive volumes to commemorate their non-LP releases during this era. While the set features faithful replicas of all individual single covers, the set—and both its successors—came under some criticism as to their necessity, especially as 1989's Singles Collection: The London Years included eighteen of this set's thirty-two songs. However, Singles 1963–1965 is notable for the first ever CD editions of the Rolling Stones' three British EPs released by Decca Records in 1964 and 1965, reinstating what had been long sought-after recordings to the band's catalogue. Journalist Nigel Williamson provides a liner notes essay.
