Wow, looks like he was in his 2nd trimester and had lactating man-breasts!
...and I though heroin addicts were all gaunt in appearance... hmmm... a chubby junkie....

Comparison (bellys): Here's Cocker at ca 26.

Cverdale at 23
..Ok, maybe Brian had gathered the mightiest one.
Still, he was older at the pic above than Joe & Dave.

Pics: [uosis.mif.vu.lt]
and [www.altmanphoto.com] (Robert Altman shot the Cocker-pic).

Where did you hear he was a heroin addict? I am practically certain that was not the case with Brian. I think he was doing a lot of drinking his last year instead? Can anyone confirm, I can't remember exactly?

Is that really one of the last pictures...He had that sweater for years then...

I've never read in any books or interviews that Brian had any involvement with heroin. It's not as if they band have hid this kind of information.

I agree, I even remember an interview with Anita in the David Dalton book "The First 20 Years". She says

Anita ...So no one believes that Brian didn't do any drugs.."
Interviewer Did't do any"
Anita STP, which is a three day trip on acid, Mandrax (English Quaaludes), Desbutal, Amphetamine, Barbituates, and no Heroin, none of that shit. All legal @#$%& shit. Prescriptions. Prescription death.

... by the way, cocker is very healthy and doing very well in colorado.....

In early March 1969 he looked better than a long time before:

Can anybody upload these pictures?

Much better actually than on the June 12 photos!! A fact that disturbs the well common thesis that "he got better JUST before he died" a lot! But the last word in this topic is not yet spoken.

I think these are all from 1969...

Thanks a lot, His Majesty. But there's still the other Throught The Past Darkly photo shoot outtakes to add (and possibly the other "American shirt" Cotchford fotos) to get a better view on Brian in 1969. Some late 1968 pics are welcome too!

>> Some late 1968 pics are welcome too! <<

apart from the Rock & Roll Circus, late 68 wasn't a very highly-photographed phase in the Stones' history,
but here are a couple:


- after Brian's trial: september 29th 1968 (don't know who took it, sorry!)


- the David Frost Show: november 29th 1968 (Daily Mirror Archives)


- Beggars promo party: december 5th 1968 (Hulton Archives, courtesy of BrownEyedGirll)

by the way, those studio shots that HM posted where Brian's got the Maton
are all by Eric Hayes.

Anorak alert...

He sure has the look of november/december 1968 in those stars and stripes pics. That weird fringe, with long curtain sides.

He's obviously had his barnet cut post december 1968 if the getty images Candy premier march 1969 pic/date is to be taken as a reliable source. I've read in various Beatle books that the Candy premier actually took place in february 1969 though.

Thanks again, His Majesty. So here are some more photos of Brian in 1969. Again he looks quite fit and well (but horribly on others from almost the same time) - strange guy!:

Whooops....

My apologies...thought they all dabbled in the brown sugar back in the day and all had their blood transfused and swapped out with new fresh blood.

These look to be from the same session, also used for the cover of the 1969 promotional album...









One of mick...



There's another one of mick playing harmonica, anyone got it?

Mr Rockman, can you post the fourth to last know picture of Mr. Brian Jones please?

Ive read that too but hey, he did use a lot of cocaine too. Coke and speed and downers probably contributed to the depression from losing Anita, the band etc.

He looks actually better than on most 1968 pictures! Maybe because he just had returned from long holidays in Ceylon. Even in early March he looked still good; as far as we can see rather like in 1966 than 1968.

But several weeks later he was hard drinking again which profe some horrible pictures above (probably shoot March, April, maybe May). His guitar parts at that time were probably not useable.

I wonder why I never seen a picture of Brian with Anna Wohlin. That's strange because they lived together for three months at Cotchford farm. Or maybe with his dogs ;-)

I wonder if the percussion he supposedly plays on Midnight Rambler is those morrocan drums!?

Bill Wyman says in his Stone Alone book that Brian enetred the Priory clinic once again from about 18th March till the 20th.

Once again there's a new Brian biography coming up: the advertisement looks promising. I've never seen these two pictures (from early-first half 1967/ early June 1968).
