'''Rolling Stones Records''' was the record label formed by [[the Rolling Stones]] members [[Mick Jagger]], [[Keith Richards]], [[Mick Taylor]], [[Charlie Watts]], and [[Bill Wyman]] in 1970, after their recording contract with [[Decca Records]] expired. The label was initially headed by [[Marshall Chess]], the son of [[Chess Records]] founder [[Leonard Chess]]. It was first distributed in the United States by [[Atlantic Records]] subsidiary [[Atco Records]]. On 1 April 1971, the band signed a distribution deal for five albums with [[Ahmet Ertegun]], acting on behalf of [[Atlantic Records]]. In the US, the albums were distributed by Atlantic until 1984. In the UK, Rolling Stones Records were distributed by [[Warner Music Group|WEA]] from 1971 to 1977 and by [[EMI Records|EMI]] from 1978 to 1984. In 1986, [[Columbia Records]] started distributing it in the United States and CBS for the rest of the world until 1991. It was discontinued in 1992 when the band signed to [[Virgin Records]], but the [[tongue and lips logo]] remains on all post-1970 Rolling Stones releases.
