THANK YOU FELIX AEPPLI

Yesterday I noticed that Felix's site, The Ultimate Guide, had a new notice:

NOTES: Site Closed;
For occasional additions, check “Gems after TUG” on [aeppli.ch] (via “Home” at the end of this page).


Wow, what a journey it’s been! I’ve followed Felix’s work since the early ’90s (though it began well before that), and it has served as my Stones bible ever since. I still cherish the hardcover version (1962-1995) that captivated my interest when it was released. So, I wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude for all your hard work, Felix. Your dedication has laid a foundation for many others to build upon. Your work has always been professionally sourced, meticulously detailed, honestly presented, and humbly offered. You have been generously open to helping others and receiving criticism. Thank you for the continuous updates, including the “post-TUG” gems to come that always seem to surface. Seeing you step back from TUG is a HUGE bummer, but you truly deserve a break. So, thank you, thank you, thank you, and enjoy your well-deserved rest!

The Ultimate Guide had a new notice

This notice isn't entirely new. Dunno the exact date, but it was early September 2024 - [Web.Archive.org] .

Thanks for the correction. I should have specified it was new to me.
I track things in years, not months, so to me, September 2024 is new just like Hackney Diamonds is new. But thanks for keeping me on my toes!

Yes it was mentioned here last year, regardless it has indeed been a wonderful journey !

I first saw his "Heart of Stone" book in London in 1992 at Foyle's near Trafalgar square. I was browsing through the music section of that huge bookshop when I bumped into that book (it's possible I'd seen it mentioned in the "Weissbuch" that was available at HMV on Oxford Street, or maybe in Elliott's "Complete Recording Sessions" I'd bought in 1990) and was approached by a fan from...Austria, one Phillip B. ! We chatted briefly and he left me his card that I still have amazingly ;-) My first encounter with a "super fan" ! And then of course I got the massive 1962-1995 book and later the CD update in 2003.

25 years ago I have been trading audio and video with Felix. Amazing things when internet was not a source

Felix was a very nice person. We e-mailed each other quite a few times especially
when i had a Stones question.
