12 × 5 (1964)
This was the band's second American album, built around sessions recorded in Chicago and padded out with singles to create a 12-track release, which gave the album its name. It leans heavily on blues covers but includes early standouts like 'Time Is on My Side' and 'It's All Over Now', both of which helped the Stones gain traction in the US market.
