Rock 'n' Rolling Stones is a compilation album by the Rolling Stones released in 1972. It reached number 41 in the UK Albums Chart.[1]
The album contains five Chuck Berry covers and also Berry-related songs like "Route 66" and "Down the Road Apiece". The album was the second "post-contract" album released by Decca following the end of their relationship with the Stones in 1971. Because of the nature of the contract, the band lost all control over their recordings prior to 1971, which are held jointly by Decca and ABKCO Records. Both Decca and ABKCO would continue to release compilations over the next several decades.
