I was actually watching Rolling With The Stones tonight on MuchMoreMusic in Canada. They mentioned this recording of Little Boy Blue and the Blue Boys and it was auctioned at Christies in the mid 90's. Mick successfully bought the reel so I doubt anyone will have it. They played a very brief tape of them playing Around and Around. Dick Taylor said they made it as an audition tape, I think he said for Alexis Korner.
I heard a home recording from Alexis Korner's living room last week (Stones with Dick Taylor and Mick Avery). Sweet Little Sixteen! I was amazed with how hard rocking this version was. The guy who played it for us paid about 250 dollars for it...). I think the recording was from early 1962. Does it really exist recordings from 1961 as well?
Didn't Sotheby's or some other auction sell a live recording of the Stones at the Marquee in 1962 or something a few years ago (Around the Licks Tour)??? I remember someone anonymous bought it, and that person later was revealed as Mick Jagger.
at least 6 entire songs turned up from the 1961/1962 recordings on a shitload of bootlegs for the last two years - namely "Around And Around", "Little Queenie", "Beautiful Delilah", "La Bamba", I Ain't Got You" and "Wee Baby Blues" - keep your eyes open on records-fairs - or should I seed them on Dime?
Sweet Little 16 wasn't even recorded at this "session" - I wonder what you've heard DandelionPowderman. The tape was described in Record Collector track-by-track before it was sold - no Sweet 16 on it.

Seems like the session I referred to was later in 1962. Was the session with the 6 songs also from Alexis Korner's living room?
