Gil Markle had the Stones at his Long View Farm studios for the rehearsals back in 1981. He put his diary on the net some time ago, and it is pretty interesting. See this sample, and the rest linked up from here:

Love this article, specially the part when this guy realises, by Stu's presence, that the Stones were coming his way for real.

I remember giving a print to my son (he was like 14yo then)to make him understand what the Stones are all about, he did.

BV's link is to an article about Mick and has links to many additional articles about musicians and band's that worked at Longview during his tenure there. What I didn't see was an easy way to get to the essays he wrote about the entire process behind the Stones using Longview for their 81 tour prep. That link follows...

[www.studiowner.com] takes you to the first page with MANY links down the left side of the page to articles about the entire process.

Good, informative reading. Also some links to audio files. When I first listened to them I had to get a password from the site owner. A nice guy from my limited contact with him.

Also reccomend reading the story about Stevie Wonder's debut of "Songs In The Key Of Life" [www.studiowner.com]

Actually, most of what I've read at the site is interesting and insiteful.

Peace,
Mr DJA
