==History== In its original concept, the label was formed to ensure the Rolling Stones would retain the rights over their own music, while also giving each bandmember the option to release solo albums. The first album to be released was ''[[Brian Jones Presents the Pipes of Pan at Joujouka]]'' in 1971, a pioneering [[world music]] LP. In 1972 the label released ''[[Jamming with Edward!]]'', a collection of tracks recorded by Jagger, Wyman, and Watts with [[Nicky Hopkins]] and [[Ry Cooder]] in 1969. Bill Wyman released two solo albums through the label, ''[[Monkey Grip (Bill Wyman album)|Monkey Grip]]'' in 1974 and ''[[Stone Alone]]'' in 1976. Wyman found that the label's promotional and sales people paid very little attention to him, as the Rolling Stones had albums due out shortly after both releases which were the subject of major marketing campaigns.{{Citation needed|date=March 2008}} As a result, Wyman chose to record his next solo album with [[A&M Records|A&M]]. The label also released a solo single by Richards in December 1978, featuring a rendition of [[Chuck Berry]]'s "[[Run Rudolph Run]]" backed by a version of [[Jimmy Cliff]]'s "[[The Harder They Come (song)|The Harder They Come]]".
