Probably some sense there, GasLightStreet. If they are able to do it, it should be a privilege for them once again to tour an album as much as possible, given the apparently positive reception over all to HACKNEY DIAMONDS.

What would then have happened to Brian Jones early on? Could there have been a different Little Boy Blue and the Blue Boys, possibly also under another name? Might Brian have been able to recruit other band members therefrom? Could this have resulted in a blues band that never obtained a record contract? Instead played blues oriented concerts round London and disbanded after a couple of years?
