Excellent article indeed, really enjoyed it. Thanks for the post. peace

Funny--The caption in the lower right of the first pic makes reference to Brian Jones' "black alter ego", but it says "Elmo James" instead of Lewis.

The guy asked some hard questions - -good for him. Not just another ass kiss.

Great read thanks! But Keiths answers, funny how he thinks he's done some deep auto bio cause to me it isnt.

Is this the interview with Eric Stewart about Knebworth

Interesting comment from the author on the review process for "Life":

"Reviewers were only allowed to look at it for a maximum of six hours under close observation at his publishers to ensure that they didn't somehow copy the entire brick-like volume and sell bootleg editions in Camden Market. As a consequence, much of the panicked press tended to scan it for headline-grabbing attacks on Mick Jagger and very little else."

Do I also remember that they weren't allowed to take any written notes? If you were trying to guarantee a review full of tabloid-size snippets of sleaze and inaccurately-recalled soundbites, you couldn't have invented a better way of doing it. Not that some "headline-grabbing attacks" weren't there - but the process did guarantee that they got the lion's share of the early reviewers' attention.
