History has that Tom Keylock destroyed Brian Jones' belonging soon after Jones died. History has that Tom Keylock was later sacked for having tried to sell the original reels Brian Jones used to record local music in Morocco to producers.
True or not, can anybody here tell if more Jones' belonging ever reached the market? His shirts, jackets, instruments? Anything from his home? Thanks for caring, Luca

Yes, I had believed the bonfire story as well. Most accounts of that night and
Keylock’s actions include the bonfire. So I just never questioned if the bonfire
happened or not.
I have questioned the possible motives Tom Keylock had in burning Brian’s
possessions. Also that it would appear quite suspicious to anyone investigating
Brian’s death.
In addition, for Keylock to actually round up all Brian’s possessions, by himself, and bring them into the yard and burn that very night seems hard to
imagine. Undoubtedly there was a investigation occurring well into the night
regarding Brian’s Death. A large fire in the middle of the night, just after Brian’s death, would have certainly drawn some attention.
So maybe the bonfire story is just fiction.

There wasn't any collector's circle in 1969 to speak of.

It's a ridiculous notion from Mathijs that Brian's parents sold his belongings. I am in the know, that's why I know. They gave away stuff. For instance Brian's parents gave his famous snake skin boots to young Australian fan. they turned up on the market later on. And Brian's sister Barbara donated his velvet curtains to a local theatre group. Also Mary Hallet got a lot of stuff, like Brian's moroccan table and lovely room screens. The majority of Brian's belongings were taken away by builder Maurice Tucker and sold. when I visited some of the builder's remaining relatives in Chichester they showed me his famous velvet trousers. Also Linda
Lawrence and Linda Keith are still selling stuff.

I am not talking about digging up his corps. It's about trying to reconstruct what happened to his belongings.
