QuoteRobberBride BTW, among the many lists of rare Stones records, I came over this one from RollingTom: It seems his scope is UK albums. Rollingtom is a good friend of mine, also one of them StonesVikings.... He has a superb collection of UK pressed LP's, I think the only one missing is the MONO HYSYML About the signed Promotional Albums, I have 13 of the 24 signed copies confirm

Muddy Waters was at Pori Jazz in Finland in the early 80's. Same weekend there was a Drag Race as well and all my friends was on their way to Räyskälä for the race. .... John Lee Hooker was at Puistoblues festival in South Finland in the early 90's and I did not know about it, only found out years later.... SRW in Pori Jazz around 1984, yet another Drag Race...

I have 19 copies of the first vinyl LP LK4605 pressed in UK, so I guess I qualify as a person that likes the early stuff Probably the best ever first album by any band... Well, The Doors was a pretty good one as well.

I do not collect CD's as such, but they somehow tend to get into my collection anyway. Here is an official stock copy that I recently got. This is probably the rarest official non promo release of all Rolling Stones CD's today Official double CD of the Brussels Affair Live 1973

QuoteDeltics QuoteJan Richards Did we ever get a confirmation on who actually was the drummer on the first gig on July 12th 1962 ? Mick Jagger: "The first ever performance we did was in July at the Marquee Club in London and it was billed as Mick Jagger and the Rolling Stones.

There is no indication of 33 or 45 rpm on the Gloom And Doom vinyl so when I plaid it for the first time I just put it on 33 rpm. Woow. Try it, a fantastic slow blues. The singing is a bit off but not too much

I got my copy signed when I bought it at the Stones convention at Brixton Academy in June of 1999. One of the best Stones books ever. I have read it two times and I think that a third time is due now. Thank You James for a fantastic inside view from the early days
