Around And Around - Live / Remastered 2009

Chuck Berry wrote this and was the first to record it. Keith Richards thought Chuck Berry was "The epitome of rock and roll playing."

This was the first song Mick Jagger sang when he and Keith Richards sat in with the group Blues Inc. in 1962. It was also the first song The Rolling Stones ever recorded. They cut it in March of 1962, although this version was never released. They re-recorded it in 1964 for the 12 x 5 album.

The Stones performed this on their first Ed Sullivan show, which took place October 25, 1964. At the time, they were little known in America, but the show helped push their single "Time Is On My Side," which they also played, up to #6, giving them their first US Top 10. The group made a total of six appearances on Sullivan.
