“The Rocket 88 Story: 1978 - 1985” feat. Ian Stewart, Charlie Watts
and many more.

This is a series of shows provided by nzb to present the story of Rocket 88 - the side project of Ian 'Stu' Stewart and Charlie Watts.
Thanks very much to nzb that provided us his recordings, to Jaap (Stonesmuziekfan) who gave critic and advise regarding my work, to my friend Riccardo (MrNo) who participated to a big part of my collection and to CrazyMama that provided us the picture used on this front cover (Mean Fiddler 21 June 1985).

A very good show, here it was not necessary to do anything other than a little sound amplification (+1,2db) and to improve the beginning and end of the cd-r.
The instrumental song was cut in two parts at 7’26 - now it’s restored. Same for “Sweet Home Chicago”, but some seconds were lost at 4’35 (time to change the tape?): I created a fade in/out.

thanks - your sharing is much appreciated

Thanks StonyRoad!

For the sake of posterity, Colin Hodgkinson, credited with sax in the personnel listed above, is in fact playing bass and, from the sound of it, singing all the lead vocals here. His VERY distinctive bass style may be identified in 'East St Louis' in particular.
