I just saw this posted by Andrew Loog Oldham's Facebook page. It's quite an interesting story, most of which I knew already. Has an interesting interview with Mick about the song and how Merry Clayton's background vocals came about. Also is an isolated track of part of her vocal performance. If this has been posted already, I apologize.

Is there a site that gives the Stones peak chart positions of singles and albums spanning their careers from countries all over the world? I heard "Satisfaction" went to #1 in over 30 different countries in 1965. Is there any way of finding out? America and the U.K. are easy to find out.

Even if Brian did purchase this art work with the tongue logo on it, there is no proof that he Mick ever saw it. From what I understand the author of the new book is claiming Keith actually learned the Open-G tuning from Brian as well. All these years Keith has been telling people he learned it from Ry Cooder or Gram Parsons (I can't remember offhand) is just the band playing down Brian&

Quotestonehearted Beatles versus Stones? You've got to admit that Andrew Loog Oldham had a shrewd marketing plan. And it worked. People are still fighting over the imaginary battle lines drawn by ALO to this day.

The Bigger Bang album wasn't bad. One thing I liked about the album was that it was the first album the Stones made, probably since Beggar's Banquet, where they didn't use a lot of guest musicians. With the exception of a keyboard player it was practically just them on the album. There was no Bernard Fowler or Lisa Fisher or any horn section, etc. Rob

Allen Klein. It's an inside thing with ABKCO that's why it didn't appear on Stones records until years later when they remastered the collection for CD in the 80s. A friend of mine asked Klein about it. Robyn Marie (I think) Klein is his daughter and it has to do with her astrological sign or something like that.
