The Rolling Stones (Official Thread)

[Mulberry]

The man who broke The Beatles and made the Stones... supposedly..

Ringo has the measure of him here..

He's like some old 1930s Gangster :O

Mulberry, many bands were renowned for bootleg recordings and were often of excellent sound quality... I think Ya Ya's was released on the strength that Live'r Than You'll Ever Be was doing very well in sales and was NO.1 / book of the month in the boot charts.
Often studio staff leaked outtakes or stuff from original masters... if reproduced many times, then the sound quality suffered... I have yet to track down a clean copy of Shades Of Orange... which in itself is a great number.... but demo it is and... it shows. Punters in the audience were often cheeky enough to stand there with a Bush Recorder... but handclaps and screams weren't Mick's... but some chick showing her rack next door!
If Jagger had two mic's gaffer taped together, you knew that it wasn't just for the Green Room playback later.
In recent years the interwebs has unearthed many rough mixes and demo takes.. shame the record shops as a whole never took up the baton.

That's very interesting. I had no idea the whole bootleg thing was detailed to the point bands let it happen at times. Thanks for this info Nai it makes a lot more sense now.

Is it true there are some acetate recordings of Brians own song ideas or is that just a myth?

Bootleg stuff reminds me of this with the Floyd:

There were lots of tape spools of Brian jamming, whether it was coherent... is another matter... posting all this lately... makes me realise I've forgotten more than I remember.

Wasn't there some with Hendrix at the farm too?

 

[Nai Noswad]

There was talk about forming a band similar to Fat Mattress... Noel Redding was mooted... I think Brian did some horns with CCS and the like.

Apparently there is a whole reel to reel recording of them jamming too. Hendirx and Brian. Probably all sold off by that Keylock?

Look at the price of this :O

I don't know. But I like the creepy lo-fi sound to it. Like original blues.
