Back in the summer of '64, The Rolling Stones spent some time in the Chicago studios of Chess Records and its subsidiary, Checker, laying down tracks for the EP that would become Five By Five. The EP — the second-ever by the band — featured an A-side instrumental track "2120 South Michigan Avenue," the title an homage to the record labels and their studios where the Stones recorded.

Today David Gutowski of the music blog Largehearted Boy tweeted out about a Stones album we'd never heard of: A full LP of 2120 South Michigan Avenue, which was never released. After Five By Five, the Rolling Stones issued the LP 12 x 5 (which also featured the "2120 South Michigan Avenue" track) while the blues-rock gem remained unreleased.
