Conceived by Rolling Stones tour manager Ian Stewart and built in 1968, the Rolling Stones Mobile Studio (RSM) helped redefine how—and where—albums could be made. It’s only fitting to begin with their 1971 releaseSticky Fingers, a chart-topping record and the debut on their own label. Released April 23, 1971, the album blends raw rock, country, blues, and soul into a cohesive, era-defining sound. Featuring enduring tracks like "Brown Sugar," "Wild Horses," and "Can't You Hear Me Knocking," it also marked a turning point in the band’s artistic control and identity—complete with its iconic Andy Warhol–designed cover. More than a hit record,Sticky Fingerscaptures a band expanding its sound and setting the tone for 1970s rock.
Please note: this session includes mature themes and may be best suited for older audiences.

Dubbed the “Sistine Chapel of rock ’n’ roll,” this historic mobile recording studio was used by British rock legends Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, and The Rolling Stones. Conceived by Rolling Stones tour manager Ian Stewart and built in 1968, the Rolling Stones Mobile Studio (RSM) was the first-ever professional mobile recording studio, built to accommodate the band’s wild 24-hour lifestyle. Equipped with a state-of-the-art Helios recording console, the RSM soon gained popularity among other musicians, leading to the creation of countless classic rock albums. Acquired by National Music Centre in 2001, the RSM has since been restored to its former glory and is now parked next to the King Eddy stage where it’s available for artists to record. Many legendary albums were recorded using the RSM, including:
