Talk:The Rolling Stones discography

Singles
I note that on 3 July 2022 someone reorganised the singles in a way which has resulted in the discography now listing no singles at all between 1966 and 1980 Scatterkeir (talk) 09:53, 21 July 2022 (UTC)

Content dispute
Seeing as there appears to be an edit war/content dispute going on regarding the contents of the page, let's talk this out here instead of constant back and forth reverts. , the reason your edits are being reverted is due to the fact that you are not using edit summaries to explain the content removals/alterations (what "explained removal of content" means) and are not backing up said changes with reliable sources.

For instance, abruptly changing the number of live albums from 24 to 10 without any reasoning behind it or the unexplained removal of entries to the discography is grounds for concern and will most likely result in the edits being reverted by another editor. Another possible concern is that it (currently) appears that you are just randomly changing values (again, could be alleviated somewhat with the use of edit summaries). (In general) The odds of your edits being reverted would most likely be substantially lowered if you were to provide an explanation in an edit summary and/or (a) source(s). Until we can reach some sort of consensus here, please do not re-enact/add back your changes. In the event that the consensus is to go with your version, then the edit(s) will be restored. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them here. -- The SandDoctor Talk 06:34, 6 June 2018 (UTC)

On Air
On Air is listed in the Live Albums section of this discography. But, is that the best section for it? Usually a live album is one that was recorded in a full-blown concert setting. On Air was recorded "live in the studio", at the BBC Studios, in a number of different recording sessions over the span of a few years -- sometimes with a small studio audience and sometimes with no audience. So, is it a live album or a studio album? (I'm pretty sure it's not a compilation album, but at the moment the infobox chronology in the album article is for compilation albums). — Mudwater (Talk) 02:20, 12 April 2019 (UTC)


 * For now I've changed the infobox in the On Air article to use the live album chronology instead of the compilation album chronology. — Mudwater (Talk) 21:59, 13 April 2019 (UTC)

B-Sides
I would like to note that all post 1980 singles have no B-Sides listed. I would appreciate it if somebody could fix that, as I am too busy to do it myself. I understand that some of the newer singles may not have B-Sides (as they may have been digital only releases), but I know for sure that most of the post 1980 singles have B-sides. For example, I own a copy of both “Rock And A Hard Place” and “Mixed Emotions”, and mine both have B-Sides. I would appreciate it very much if somebody was to fix that error.

Split
I think their discography should be divide at least in singles and albums, considering article is long and their tenier in industry/amount of releases by format. --Apoxyomenus (talk) 03:29, 26 September 2022 (UTC)

Another EP
The Stones released another EP in 1964, titled "Volume 2" in the UK and "If You Need Me" (the title of the first track) in other (mostly European) countries. The tracks were recorded at Chess in Chicago and all appeared on the US album "12 x 5", where the EP wasn't issued, but not on any UK album release. I don't have a reference for the exact date of issue, or whether and how high it charted in the UK EP chart. Freewheeling frankie (talk) 22:36, 7 July 2023 (UTC)

Around And Around
There is also the Around And Around LP, released by Decca in 1964 in several European countries:
