The CHARLIE WATTS ORCHESTRA
1985 to 1987
This series is dedicated to another Charlie Watts sidestep: The Charlie Watts Orchestra.
Thanks to the original recorders and especially to nzb and Jaap (Stonesmuziekfan) who provided me their recordings, gave critic and advice regarding my work … so without whom this project wouldn’t have been possible!

For this show we had two versions coming from two different sources. The one from 950 WPEN radio is too saturated and runs 2,5% too fast, but luckily we have a “pre-fm”-recording from Dime (sorry I missed the lineage).
I amplified the sound (around 3 db) and reworked the tracks that now start with the songs.
I only use the 950 WPEN version for the intro (after a speed correction) and upgraded it (noise reduction, amplification, little defaults deleted.)
I also kept the Ron Matheson-interview that was on the “pre-fm”version.
As usual all the infos are taken from The Complete Works Of The Rolling Stones database by Nico Zentgraf: [
