Nice one Magic... this was their third single release... finished in November '63 at Dé Lane Lea Studio's. It was The Ronettes that persuaded the band to lay down on wax Arthur Alexander's
hit' You Better Move On'... after performing it every night on a recent tour with them.
(I bought the 20 year anniversary 12"vinyl version)...
As we've been posting about The Hollies tonight-( several Holliers and Phil Spector recorded the righteous Andrew's Blues at this time also.)

 

[Nai Noswad]

Alan Clarke, Graham Nash, Gene Pitney, Phil Spector, Ian Stewart and the Boys in the band.
Recorded at Regent Studio (aka) egg box city.

Andrew's Blues.

As I get older.... I'm tending to delve into their younger catalogue... this and the New York ep on the porky prime cut "of quality" bootleg label.

... really was a shame Brian couldn't write - I swear down I reckon only Brian Jones and Alexis Korner had a scooby about real R&B at this early stage.

The Original EP.

Think they tagged this on the end of The Forty Licks compilation? Not a bad riff altogether.... Still not completely bowled over with Hackney Diamonds(it's filed after Blue & Lonesome already and I can't see it in a wall of album spines)

Don't Stop.

... The other day I found an odd bootleg single that read 'skelton TV show'....
Matched it to this Red Skelton TV Hour video... Love Jonesey Stones songs.

Tell Me (You're Coming Back)
Hope my pal Frands digs it...

Yeah,,,I love the stuff from 64-72,,, after that its hit or miss for me.

 

[Mr Mojo Risin]

Yeah, I mostly agree with the above. Exile is my favorite Stones album, from '72 too..
