EPs includes:
• The Rolling Stones (E.P.) - Recorded at Decca Studios and Kingsway Studios in 1964, it was on the New Musical Express E.P. chart for the full year of 1964 in the U.K. and it was No. 1 for 14 weeks in that year. Features their covers of songs originally recorded by Chuck Berry, The Coasters, Arthur Alexander and Barrett Strong.

• Five by Five (E.P.) - The mono mixes of songs recorded at the June 1964 session at the legendary Chess Studio in Chicago. Features the original compositions "Empty Heart" and "2120 South Michigan Avenue" (the address of Chess) as well as covers of songs originally recorded by Solomon Burke, Chuck Berry and Jay McShann.

• Got Live If You Want It! (E.P.) - Includes songs not found on the U.S. album of the same name. Recorded on the Rolling Stones' 5th British Tour at dates in London, Liverpool and Manchester in early March 1964. The title of the E.P. is based on bluesman Slim Harpo's "Got Love If You Want It," released on Excello Records in 1957. The E.P. features covers of songs recorded Otis Redding, Solomon Burke, Hank Snow and Nat King Cole. The Stones' own original "I'm Alright" was only ever recorded and released in live versions.

Transfer Note:
For the analogue to digital transfers, vintage reel-to-reel tape machines were utilized - a modified Ampex 351 with original tube electronics (full track mono and two track stereo) and an Ampex ATR-102 modified with Aria Discrete Class-A Electronics (full track mono and two track stereo). A Sonoma DSD digital audio workstation was the chosen high resolution format and Meitner Design ADC8 and DAC8 MKlV converters were used for the conversion process. Cables used were the cryogenically frozen type supplied to us by Gus Skinas of Super Audio Centre. Gus also provided much guidance to Jody Klein, Steve Rosenthal and myself for our first time use of DSD technology. For this HD Tracks release, the Bob Ludwig mastered DSD files were converted to high resolution PCM with Weiss Saracon conversion software.
