"Five By Five" is the second EP by The Rolling Stones and was released in 1964. Captured during a prolific spurt of recording activity at Chess Studios in Chicago that June, "Five By Five" was released that August in the UK shortly after their debut album, "The Rolling Stones", had appeared. The title of "Five By Five" is a play on words - five tracks recorded by the five members of the band.

Because Mick Jagger and Keith Richards were still honing their songwriting skills, only "Empty Heart" and "2120 South Michigan Avenue" were credited to "Nanker Phelge", a pseudonym for band-written compositions. The rest of the EP is comprised of R&B covers from some of their favorite artists. Andrew Loog Oldham produced "Five By Five" and even contributed liner notes (a tradition begun here) where he lists the band's achievements thus far (and stretches the truth by claiming The Rolling Stones' debut album had spent 30 weeks at #1 when it, in fact, was at the top for 12).

"Five By Five" reached #1 in the UK singles chart, while its five tracks and namesake would form the basis for their second American album, "12 X 5", later in 1964.

Unavailable for decades, "Five By Five" was finally reissued on CD in 2004 on the "Singles 1963-1965" box set through ABKCO Records.
