Andrew Loog Oldham “While I had been away, Eric (Easton) had done more than handle the recording sessions. My co-manager and partner had done a move to handle the disposition of the B-side composition. Eric had explained to the band the obvious fact that ‘Stoned’, as an original song, needed a publisher to collect royalties due to it, and recommended that the band publish the song with ‘some goo

As the book points out, ALO and the RS discovered that Eric Easton earned extra undue money through Southern Music publisher. What sounds somehow strange is that business between the RS and Southern Music was not stopped and Southern Music kept on beign the sole selling agent of some of the early songs penned by J/R or Nanker-Phelge.

it's not ridiculous, it's referred to Glyn Johns and his 'Sound Man'. A nice reading, full of lighting details on how the things went at the mixing desk. Unfortunately, Johns does not talk about the Muscle Shoal sessions and how BS was initially recorded.

Great show here in Milan. Willie Nelson on stage for 2 songs plus encore. Unfortunately, the band delivered a cover of 'Nel Blu Dipinto Di Blue'. The audience enjoyed the sing-a-long a lot but was a weak moment of the concert also because due to the cover we've misssed one of Neil's gems.

No decent shops in Rome and Venice. When in Florence, check Rock Botton: it's One of the best shops, in Italy. They do not sell 'Made in Italy' records and are expensive, but still Wellworth a visit.
