I'm sure this has been threaded before but I always have trouble finding them. Isn't it odd that not one of those individuals has been interviewed for this anniversary? Are they all still alive? Was it Dick Taylor and Tony Chapman? And there's not one picture of that lineup? Strange.

Note: Contrary to common believe Mick Avory didn’t play this gig as drummer.
The Stones most probably did not play all of these (unverified) songs.

Thank you. So this was the lineup for a few months. No pictures?

it wasn't all that steady a line-up - the drummer and bass player varied from gig to gig.
there are a few 1962 pictures in circulation ... didn't we just have this conversation in another thread??

No pics of the other drummers and basists playing during 1962, or even Stu I think, just of the Edith Grove 3.

Stu didn't play at every gig either, did he? not all of those clubs had pianos

I dunno, I wasn't even born then.

So Carlo Little, Mick Avory & Tony Chapman preceded Charlie on drums.

Ricky Fenson & Dick Taylor preceded Bill Wyman on bass.

Anybody else?

And the name Steve Harris came up as a drummer at some point.

the good nzentgraf.de also mentions Colin Golding on bass at some gigs: [www.nzentgraf.de]
and some gigs where there's no record of who was on bass & drums (or if anyone was)

Intressting, and btw, I found an original album by Frank Sinatra on my lunch-break today, named 'Sinatra and Swingin' Brass' from just 1962. With a very nice Fold-out-cover also...

Geoff Robertson on guitar. Another GR no less !!

Are there recordings of any of these earlier 'Stones' incarnations?

Maybe the Little Boy Blue and the Blue Boys tape that Mick supposedly bought.

You mean Geoff Bradford, right? Still a GR. And Brian Knight, a vocalist.

Any more?

Yes, I remember this last night but I wasn't a work to correct it !

Only a GB, not a GR though.
