Philippines Philippines 7" discography / London singles

The Rolling Stones - Satisfaction - London F.760032 • Philippines discography: London singlesLondon logo
Beyond the band's success, the number of singles issued in the Philippines reveals the importance of the 7" format in this country.

The local London 45s discography is full of surprises and illogisms. It harbors many unique couplings, uses its own cataloguing system, borrows US London numbers, as well as some Decca UK ones.

A few variations exist and labels designs vary from a black & silver background [close to Jamaica's] until 1966, to plain black, orange swirls [as for the US promos] to blue with a boxed London [as Decca in England in 1966+]. On top of this, some promo-only copies have white labels with a white boxed London on a turquoise background.

The first single 'Not Fade Away' [F 11845] issued in 1964 is clearly of British inspiration, and the first time a Decca number is ever issued on London.
'Come On' [F.760083] or 'I Wanna Be Your Man' [F.760084] would only follow in late 1966 following a wide range of Philly exclusive couplings like 'Carol' [F.760028], 'Route 66' [F.760029], and 'Under The Boardwalk' [F.760030].

'The Last Time' [F.12104] used its UK reference and a local number for a special stereo version [SF.90008], before 'Satisfaction' [F.760032] recycled the US coupling with a local number, and 'Get Off Of My Cloud' [F.22265] the UK Decca export number.

'As Tears Go By' [F.760052], also of US inspiration, was the first single to appear on two different types of labels.

Then, 'Sad Day' [F.760055] was the A-side of '19th Nervous Breakdown' - as in Mexico.

The Rolling Stones - She's A Rainbow  - London HL-U 906 • Philippines discography: London singles'Paint It, Black' [F.12395] brought confusion to a further step offering the US coupling [c/w 'Stupid Girl'] with a UK Decca number.

'Mothers Little Helper' [F.760077] is exceptionally backed here with 'Take It Or Leave It' [also seen on a Portuguese EP].

The Rolling Stones - Connection - London F.760110 • Philippines discography: London singles1966 and 1967 are globally rich, and count many unique releases with never seen elsewhere A-sides like 'I Am Waiting' [F.760076], 'What To Do' [F.760079], 'Connection' [F.760110], 'Back Street Girl' [F.760118], or an earlier 'Mercy Mercy' [F.760134].

The Rolling Stones - Live With Me - London F.760167 • Philippines discography: London singles'In Another Land' [HL-U 907] was released here as well, at a time London used its US HL-U prefix for new catalogue numbers.


'Gimmie Shelter' / 'Live With Me' [F.760167] was another unique original coupling before the odd promo-only release of 'If You Need Me' [F.760206] as a single in 1971, supposed to promote the LP compilation 'Stoneage'.
