12 X 5 is the second American album by , released in 1964 following the massive success of their debut in the UK and the promising sales of its American substitute, , sometimes titled as England's Newest Hit Makers or just The Rolling Stones.

The album, like its predecessor, largely featured covers; however, it does contain three compositions from the still-developing / songwriting team, as well as two group compositions under the pseudonym of "". 12 X 5 is notable for featuring the first, and less-often-heard, of the Stones' two versions of 's "", with a prominent electronic organ part instead of the better-known version's electric guitar.

After a series of sessions in Chicago in June 1964, The Rolling Stones' UK label released the five-song . Because EPs were never a lucrative format in the US, —their American distributor at the time—spread the EP songs across an entire album, adding seven new recordings to create a release of 12 songs by five musicians, hence the album's title. The rest of the songs were singles "" and "" with their B-sides, plus three songs that were later included on album. Decca would use the same cover (minus the lettering) for The Rolling Stones' second UK album The Rolling Stones No. 2 in early 1965.

12 X 5 proved to be a faster seller than England's Newest Hit Makers, reaching No. 3 and going gold quickly
