Excellent band. Highly talented musicians with the option of sax, vibes, flute. Their 45s are classic beat group pop but the UK albums reveal a different story. Massive jazz influence played by highly competent players. Paul Jones is an absolute demon on the blues harp. I'm not keen on his voice but he was a top front man. A few years back my Dad was visiting and when he arrived I was play

Quoteachilles77 I am wondering about the legitimacy of this upcoming release. It says "Fleetwood Mac have given their full approval for the release of these tapes", but is this just another bootleg, and is the stuff on here truly previously unreleased?? Comes out in about 1 month... Thoughts? Well it is legitimate but the Sony page suggests that these tapes were on

I have a copy of Bowie's Diamond Dogs (the picture disk) that has track 2/side 1 listed as Bewitched with songwriter credits, but as far as I can tell there is no Bewitched, just the first track Future Legend.

Dust My Pyramids hasn't ever been (re)located despite rumours to the contrary. The BBC programme log says it was only 25 seconds long. Several other editions of Rhythm and Blues from that era start with a piece in the region of 30 seconds. I would imagine that this would be an introduction of sorts perhaps with Alexis Korner introducing the band over the top. recorded 8 October 1964

He probably thinks it was funny in retrospect but at the time everyone was freaking out apart from Andrew who was kind of freaking out because Gered Mankowitz wasn't taking photos of it.

My preferred era is the Decca era and I think it's fair to say that if none of the other eras existed, the Stones would still be widely seen as the second best British band of the 1960s. Their run of singles from Come On to Honky Tonk Women is only matched or bettered by the (largely) non-album singles runs of the Moptops and The Kinks. While they only started coming up with masterpiece LP

I Don't Know Why is listed as a Jagger / Richard composition published by ABKCO on the BMI.com music website catalogue. So is Don't Lie To Me. I'm not sure how that's possible. Surely both should have been corrected by now or a note inserted with a correction.

Quotemarianna Is this the same as the Sea of Tunes bootleg material? I;m sure there may be more of it, but at least some of it has been around a long time. I don't think there's much overlap.

Quotemarianna Rock critics sometimes tend to jump on the same bandwagon. They also think they are there to impose some kind of order, therefore they like lists.

Quoteandrews27 The thing about Forever Changes is that there's not really much playing by the group on the record.

The whole purpose was to create something that could get airplay so that the group

I don't understand the reluctance of the band and ABKCO to do something with their 60s catalogue of unreleased music. Even if they don't have every multi-track / master from that period we know from the Mobile Fidelity/ABKCO listings that they have a few cd.s worth of outtakes.
