Recorded at Regent Sound Studios in London over the course of five days in January and February 1964, England's Newest Hit Makers was produced by then-managers Andrew Loog Oldham and Eric Easton. England's Newest Hit Makers was originally released by Decca Records in the UK, under the title The Rolling Stones.
Two numbers are credited to "Nanker Phelge" - a pseudonym the band used for group compositions from 1963 to 1965. Phil Spector and Gene Pitney both contributed to the recording sessions, and are referred to as "Uncle Phil and Uncle Gene" in the subtitle of the Nanker Phelge instrumental "Now I've Got a Witness".
The Rolling Stones are named the most successful band of all time in the Guinness Book of Records
