Dear Argentino,
You will not find a lot of information regarding this album. Very odd, but encyclopedias are silent about this event and even Internet will not tell you more. A black hole in the history of the Rolling Stones. But it happened. In 1987/1988. Just have a look at this item - [eil.com]
I think I can post artwork on Monday. So keep on checking this post.

pilfer

Yessssssssss many thanks
and in flacfiles, you are the best
I hope you post the artwork

Dear with sssoul,
I find this info very useful. The CD inlay is poor and gives no special details.
Thanks for the research.

pilfer

no problem - especially since it's not my research, it's nzentgraf.de: [www.nzentgraf.de]
you can read a bit about the sessions in some of the Keith biographies as well
(and in practically any article about the Dirty Strangers, since it's by far their main claim to fame)

Thx very much for this hard to find CD.
Always heard about it but never heard til now!
It's not really a top non-stones album with KR and RW
but it's worth to have it in A collection.

For the mystery, i think that it's not really a mystery!
At this time, in 1987-1988 KR & RW were not the best friends of MJ!
AND they wanted to play without him
in another band.

But it's just my point of view, maybe i'm wrong

Dear Honestman,
Why, in my opinion your point comes very close to the truth itself. Some may disagree but guessing is everything we have left. Because we cannot know the truth for sure. Maybe, it is for the better: the more knowledge, the more grief…

Artwork update.
Please download here
[www.gigasize.com]

Warning:
It appears that the artwork is a weird baby of Russian bootleggers’ sick imagination. Do not pay too much attention to the numeration when you see two number 3s. Why? Because the stamp on the backside says «All rights reserved. License agreement # 583». It is a bliss knowing this record is under protection of the Russian laws; wonder whether the true right owners know something about that. God Bless my Motherland!

Many thanks for the artwork
