The same feelings from here.

I wish the A Degree Of Murder soundtrack would get a proper release.

Brian’s. Opening and closing chords are classic, one of the best of the 1960s along with George Harrison’s opening note and closing notes on a Hard Days Night

What if Brian had quit the band in 1968 and started a band with Jimmy Page and Hopkins. Sorta of like replacing Keith with Page.They’d need a vocalist.

I take it you mean It's All Over Now?

Yes, for me his playing captures the end of the relationship

Last August I had the great honour and privilege to meet up with Barbara, Brian's daughter, and a very kinda fella who allowed us to play some of the amazing and rare instruments in his collection.
In the photos Barbara and I are shown holding the only other known Vox Bijou dulcimer outside of Brian's and one of three white 1964 prototype Vox Phantom MKIII twelve string guitars. Brian Jones and Hilton Valentine had the other two.

Some of the other instruments we got to play was the first ever Vox peardrop/teardrop 6 string, as well as Vox mando guitars and two of Bill Wyman's basses.

An amazing day!

Fantastic man!

Is that an UL730 lurking in the background?

Tis true, Rockee, they would, but the frogs themselves, well, if they had wings, they wouldn't bump their arses!!!!

Wow!!

I've always considered this as pretty much a duet between Mick and Brian. Amazing to hear them so clearly!

Am I the only person who thinks Brian sounds a little bit like a young Dave Davies?





PS. Any chance of isolating the vocals for 'Bye Bye Johnny'?

Interesting speculation by ALO. I have always found Brian's claimed interest in CCR a bit odd, but Andrew has a point there, or at least is trying to make some sense of it. (I quess Brian's liking of Johnny Winter, another uprising American 'blues up-dater' , would go in similar lines, another example to utilize the raspy 'Walking The Dog' voice, not to forget the use of slide guitar).

The picture Andrew paints of Brian's potential future rests on two features he was not known (to put it mildly) with the Stones: lead vocals and song-writing. Coming from his mouth, of all people, I find this very interesting.

I recall reading a very early RS concert review in a book years back (can't recall which one), where it stated that Brian Jones sang 'You Better Move On'. Can anyone confirm this? It might've been the same review where the band apparently performed 'Girls', their interpretation of The Shirelles/The Beatles' 'Boys'!

My favorite thread, one I actually read thru (and tour info threads of course!)

Thx for sharing all this..

One question, I think I misunderstood you mentioning few or no photos of Brian at Chess sessions? During my visits there I seem to recall him in a number of photos on display, as well as a boot vinyl of those sessions I have with photos of him included.. Am I mixing up recording dates/different studios?
