One of the tracks I recorded off the TV when they did it live on Ready Steady Go in 1965. I posted those songs here & DAC "borrowed them & released them as part of "Animal Duds DAC-064". If you listen carefully it's the rest of my family finishing tea in the background, mum rattling plates etc. Ah what memories....

Thanks is a great story - would love to know more, what did you use to record?

B-side of the Heart of Stone single.
Somehow the version in The Rolling Stones Now! is 4 seconds longer than the version
on The London Years, and it seems to me the reason is that it's because it is a bit
slower, but I've not tested it.
Anyway, it's always a pleasure to hear this song, with one of their most hillarious
lines: "You might wake up in the morning and find your poor self dead."

I have told the story when I originally posted these here but it does bear repeating.
I was a mere lad of 15/16 in 1965/66 living in Ealing (where I passed the Ealing Club twice a day on the bus to & from school). There wasn't much music on the official media but two TV show were must go-to's. Top of the Pops, which was on a Wednesday night, but the fave with Cathy McGowan (who we were all in love with) was Ready Steady Go on friday nights. All the bands & performers who were on the charts got to perform, usually miming (lip-sync) to their hits, then there was some bands performing live, & then everything was live. A small studio, maybe 50 in the crowd, no sitting down, everyone danced, the band was right in your face.
It was always exciting when the Stones were on live, LOTS of publicity, ALL of us watched. I didn't have a record player but for some reason my parents had a reel-to-reel Phillips tape recorder, a domestic model with a little microphone to go with it. Every time the Stones were on I would set up the mic on a chair maybe 6 inches away from the TV speaker & then wait for the Stones to perform. My starting wasn't very flash so I usually missed the first second or so, & in the background my family going around their business, not drastically, but there.
I recorded a total of 11 songs between 1965-66 & when I joined up here 10 years ago found out that all but one were not in circulation so I posted them. Lo & behold, DAC took them fixed up one tiny tape glitch, speed corrected them ever so slightly & released them as part of their "Animal Duds" 2CD set of early Stones material. My tracks are on side 2, tracks 1-6, 11-13.
They duplicate "The Last Time" on track 7, mistakenly giving it a different date of performance, but it's definitely the same as mine but from a different source. They also duplicate "Everybody-Pain in my Heart" as track 8 with, again, a different date.
I have a soft spot for these recordings. They're not like the other TV shows that the Stones did, being on a stage with an audience half-a-mile away. Everything was in a small studio, I've read a reference that when the Stones played, the producers made sure that lots of girls were there & yup, Mick was mobbed twice on my tapes, it made for great TV & publicity, & a great memory 50 years on.
Some of the later Stones Ready Steady Go stuff is on Youtube, Satisfaction & a couple of others, but I missed those as we moved to Canada in Nov. 1966.
