Crikey - that's 500+ really interesting Lots. (Small number of Stones, more of Beatles, and then masses of other people). This lot is REALLY interesting. Cover art by Alan Aldridge for an unreleased Rolling Stones album . What's really interesting about that is that it puts Aldridge - and by implication his work - into the orbit of The Rolling Stones in 1969. This adds to

QuoteCaptainCorella Well worth relating is that when the six band members (plus ALO) voted on whether or not to release it as a single the voting was: See page 318 of "Stone Alone" by Bill Wyman where the story of the vote is recounted with MJ and KR being the only voters against. He adds Dave Hassinger (recording engineer) to the list of voters.

If I buy a book about the Rolling Stones I wanna read only about them and not about the writer's own life and how he got to know the Stones and their music. What he writes about the Stones is the same old stuff, what you have read already a 1001 times before. Also the actual text (in h
