ROLLING STONES-STONE AGE-1971-FIRST PRESS (PROMO) GERMANY-DECCA-SLK16702. A rare German promo original. Stone Age is a compilation album by The Rolling Stones, released on the Decca label in 1971. It reached number four in the UK charts. RS were surprised by the release of the album and stated: "We didn't know that this record would be released. In our opinion, it is below the standard that we are trying to keep up with, both in the choice of content and in the design of the cover." These 12 songs, dating from the mid-1960s, were chosen because they never appeared on British studio albums, some of them were originally released only on singles, and some up to that point were released only on American studio albums.
