I'm treating this, from ALO, as deeply sad confirmation

Very sad news, thank you for the info. He was there at the beginning… condolences to his loved ones.

RIP, James. Very sad indeed.

Nooooo. Just a great example of someone who was never in the band but is such a huge part of the lore of what makes up 60 plus years of the Stones. Sam Cutler and Jimmy Phelge both pieces of the jigsaw puzzle that make up the Stones. Rest up Jimmy.

I enjoyed his memoir, "Nankering With The Rolling Stones."

RIP, James. What a great honor to have your name used by The Rolling Stones.

"Take all the pain...It's yours anyway"

get the book if you dont have it yet...

RIP James

Life's just a cocktail party on the street

Didn't James used to post on this board years ago?

RIP James

This is indeed sad news. I spoke to him when requesting a signed copy of his book and he was charming. I mentioned that I live not far from Edith Grove and he replied that he very seldom visited London anymore and enjoyed the countryside istead.

Yes, he did. I remember chatting with him about Stones' stage design. He had a great sense of humour and was very down to earth. Rest in peace.

So sorry to hear the sad news of James passing. I enjoyed his book and certainly recommend it for any one interested in the early days of the Rolling Stones.

I was in Cheltenham in 1999 to install some of my Brian Jones artworks, I met James Phelge and Carlo Little at the cemetery, they were both very friendly and later I got James Phelge his book signed in my daughters name,who was with me at the time.
RIP JAMES PHELGE

A nice memory of him. Thanks for sharing, runaway. I hope your daughter treasures the book.

..his book is the best concerning the birth of the Rolling Stones in London...

RIP James, talk about being in the middle of the action!

We were there the 3rd July 1999 30th Anniversary of Brian’s Death
My daughter is very proud with her name in James Phelge’s book signed,and both my daughters have attended Stones concerts

You're blessed to have them share that with you.

Rest in peace, James. My condolences to those who knew and loved him. There's no Nanker-Phelge without him.

Ok, I believe he had james in his name though?

Jimmy Phelge and James "VideoJames" Karnbach. Both authors of Stones books. Both really knew The Stones. The former lived in Edith Grove for a time. The latter was, like Bill German, a fan who made the grade to cross over into their world.

Nice guy, knew him from the early Undercover days in the mid to late 90s. He was one of the few who was really there ... and he wrote the story. RIP Jimmy.

sad to hear

he wrote a hell of a book

This is sad news indeed. It was a privilege to spend time with Jimmy when he was living in Chicago for awhile many years ago. He was always kind to me and a fun guy to be around. May he rest in peace…

...his book not easy to find today but the italian version is still available at a good price on Amazon....”la nascita della leggenda ”...

RIP Mr Phelge
