As ferocious and revolutionary as their debut, the Rolling Stones' second album is a very entertaining affair. Filled with raunchy rhythm & rollicking rock & roll blues. Most of these tracks sound a bit more sophisticated than their debut. A lot of the tracks the emphasis lies on a soul beat on some of the more prominent tracks of the album: Time Is on My Side, Under the Boardwalk and Pain in My Heart.

The Rolling Stones were clearly developing themselves, working on style and looking for new territory to cover. They were even slowly stretching their song writing skills, as demonstrated by the three originals on the album. A development which would become stronger in the near future. The definite highlights are the rave-up rock & roll of tracks like Everybody Needs Someone To Love, Down the Road Apiece and You Can't Catch Me, and their brilliant I Can't Be Satisfied. This second British album actually appeared after their second U.S. LP, mostly owing to the fact that the British rock & roll audience wasn't focused on the long-player as a medium (singles and EPs were the driving force of the business in England then). It uses the same David Bailey cover shot that had graced the U.S.-issued 12 X 5 album two and a half months earlier, but only four songs -- "Under the Boardwalk," "Suzie Q," "Grown Up Wrong," and "Time Is on My Side" -- overlap on the two albums. Rather, Rolling Stones No. 2 offered seven songs that weren't to make it out in America until four months later on The Rolling Stones Now!, and they're all solid numbers: "Off the Hook," "Everybody Needs Somebody to Love," "Down Home Girl," "You Can't Catch Me," "What a Shame," "Pain in My Heart," and "Down the Road Apiece," plus one of the group's best blues tracks "I Can't Be Satisfied," which wasn't released in America until 1973 and features some killer slide playing by Brian Jones.

For the US market this album was mercilessly butchered, split in half, spread across two releases. Here, the original MONO British issue:

Everybody Needs Somebody to Love
Down Home Girl
You Can't Catch Me
Time Is On My Side
What A Shame
Grown Up Wrong
Down The Road Apiece
Under The Boardwalk
I Can't Be Satisfied
Pain In My Heart
Off The Hook
Susie Q
