Thank god it's not about him being 'murdered'. Thank god we had The Rolling Stones 1965, and On the Air so we could hear some new Brian recordings. Yet, it shows how quickly he declined on guitar. His feel was unparalleled, especially on slide, and he wasted those precious talents.

Just as quickly as he declined on guitar , had he lived , he could have regained it.For he was a young man when he died.And his mellotron work in 1967-1968 was great, pointing the way to people like Eno and U2

Some interesting related listening...

Some or all of the lead guitar heard here was played by Ian Cruickshank aka Spit James. Ian was one of the musicians Brian actively sought out for his post Rolling Stones group. We know this thanks to a telegram sent by Peter Swales to Ian on 2nd July 1969.

All going well post pandemic, I'll be meeting collector Ali Zayeri in London to listen to acetate of the 1962 Curly Clayton session, Brian's Regent Sound acetate from 63/64 etc.

Interesting and thanks! Will try and find that. Any help would be appreciated. Can you recall the name of the magazine or ones from the time? Bild perhaps?

No we do not really know. Given this, I'll change the credit on my site etc to reflect this new info. There's nothing specifically Brian Jones about the harmonica part other than that it's played throughout the track which up till then usually mean't Brian played it.

Many credits aren't certain, but things get generally accepted due to repetition and a loop of referencing which often leads to wrong credits sticking. Check how many books and magazines and websites say Brian played the brass etc on Something Happened To Me Yesterday... It was in actuality session musicians arranged and conducted by Arthur Greenslade, Andrew Loog Oldham's go to arranger at the time. The source for this is Andrew himself who despite being quite hated in Brian fan circles (not by me I must add, I think he's ace), has been a great help with this sort of stuff.


Is it ok to use your comment as a quote on my Resource postings on Facebook etc? Something like...

"Do we really know that it's Brian playing harmonica on Who's Been Sleeping Here?

I clearly remember Mick stating the he overdubbed the harmonica.
It was in a Swedish pop/teen magazine in 1967. There was a questions column, and to the question about who played the harmonica, Mick answered the he did, and that it was done by overdubbing.
Maybe the reason I remember it is that at the time (being 12 years old) I hadn´t heard or knew about overdubbing...but I was a Stones fan, so somehow it stuck." - rootsman, IORR - Tell Me forum.
