And was HE the mystery drummer on 12th July.
Actually I'm pretty sure that he never existed. The band had no regular drummer so Brian would have invented a plausible name for the letter.
Gets us no nearer to determining without question who it was on 12th July 1962.

Would "Mike Avery" be the same guy as Mick Avery who was in the Kinks at least for a while? Not even sure of the spelling of his name, but I think he played drums.
Its only rock and roll: I hope they don't think we're a rock 'n' roll outfit.

Mick Jagger and the Rolling Stones - I wonder why that never has been told that much before.

You mean those songs? They are 1963 recordings (at least most of them) and at that time it already was "The Rolling Stones". The whole thing about MJ & The Rolling Stones basically means nothing. In the late 50s and early 60s it was very common to name the singer separately. So the guy who called Mick in 1962 (knowing he was the singer) simply assumed it was MJ & The Rolling Stones. And ... over the phone the distinction between "Rollin'" and "Rolling" is quite impossible to hear. No big deal, I'd say.Quote

So is this before or after it became "Mick Jagger and his Rolling Stones"?

Funny. Nobody mentions Tony Chapman ...
The guy wasn't always reliable in terms of keeping appointments. Mick Avory stated many times, that he was asked over the phone to help out on July 12 1962, but soon after that phonecall he received another phonecall with something like "Thanks anyway, but in the meantime we have found another drummer", which could indicate that Tony Chapman had turned up "just in time". Several interviews (James Karnbach f.i.) with both Mick Avory and Tony Chapman made it very much justitied that Tony was the drummer on July 12 1962.
Somewhere I read (but, sorry, can't remember where) that Long John Baldry's drummer stood in, but there has never been any confirmation on that, as far as I know.
Keith (or his ghostwriter) mentions is his great book "Life", that it was Mick Avory, but well ... Avory says I was never there on that day.

Of course BJ was the leader. I just checked the birthdates and BJ is 18 months older than Jagger. Which means something back then when you are 21-22 yo and trying to get a gig.
