I'm thinking about him right now ! Last night I was at a burger joint and Paint It Black from the Ed Sullivan Show was playing on the video screen. Fab stuff. I'm not a "Brianista" but that era of the Stones (essentially the Decca period) has always been my favourite. Wish the band and ABKCO could find their way to releasing some more lost gems from that part of their career

Quotemarianna Why didn't Fleetwood & McVie try a little harder to bring parts of their old incarnation back together for a limited time? It is a rhetorical question, but both of them relied on outside talent for very different versions of the band. They furnish the name, but not much creativity. Kirwan wasn't even at their HOF induction. The Stones went out of their way to make s

It was announced on the Fleetwood Mac Facebook site that Danny passed away on June 8th. He was an incredible talent. The Green / Kirwan combination remains one of the greatest guitar double acts in the history of rock. It has been mentioned that at one point he was among those possibly being considered for a guitar slot in the Stones. I don't know if that's true. If you're not f

About time. I thought he must have turned it down already. Over fifty years later looking at what they achieved as probably being among the finest commercial artists of the 20th century and as a social phenomenon (in a way that none of the other groups of the time were) it's fully deserved. Certainly more so than those gits who just bang the party in power a bunch of money and get to bend th

Very strange "release". Does this mean that the rest of the circulating Satanic Majesties outtakes are now out of copyright ? Why have they just issued two versions of Bill's track ?

That is correct thanks Deltics. When I said Charlie wasn't there yet I purely meant in musical terms. His fills are all over the place on that first BBC session but he was there in body ! Maybe he was nervous that day or just didn't play well. No such problems on the other BBC sessions as far as I remember.

Alexander has just pointed out to me that Walking The Dog appears to be from the April 1964 Saturday Club rather than the February 1964 Saturday Club. Good spot there. The Feb version has the lead guitar line an octave higher which is a useful identifier. Anyone else able to confirm or deny please ? I think he's right.

One of the earliest videos was made by the Big Bopper for use in this country in the absence of personal appearances in late 1958. That gave Jack Good the idea to film several over a week or so in 1960 including this one, so well before the Fab4 or Stones "invented" pop videos.

Both those promos smoke ! I think the one with live vocals also has a different or re-jigged back track but I could be wrong on the latter. My guess would be that they did the "live" one because of the Musicians Union restrictions on TV miming at the time. The Beatles had fallen foul of this at the end of 1967 with the Hello Goodbye promo and on shows like Top Of The Pops there had to
