In 1974, Bill Wyman was the first band member to release solo material, his album Monkey Grip . The next Rolling Stones album, It’s Only Rock ‘n Roll , was recorded in the Musicland Studios in Munich, Germany; it reached No. 2 in the UK and No. 1 in the US. Miller was not invited to return as the album’s producer because his “contribution level had dropped”. Jagger and Richards, credited as “the Glimmer Twins”, produced the album. Both the album and the single of the same name were hits.
