The Rolling Stones On Air collects radio recordings the band made for the BBC between 1963 and 1965, including songs they never captured in the studio. It presents the early Stones as a raw rhythm-and-blues and blues band, with covers of Chuck Berry ('Come On', 'Roll Over Beethoven'), Bo Diddley ('Mona') and other rhythm-and-blues staples, alongside originals such as '(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction' and 'The Last Time'. The sessions were remastered for this compilation, bringing out the energy of the band in their club years. This edition is a 2-LP on black vinyl.
