An unusual list but not without merit. I notice that you have Streets Of Love in a decent position! One of my favourites on the third disc of Grrr. Don't understand the criticism it is getting here.

Quotelem motlow mick and ronnie wrote iorr and i can feel the fire -they split them up, ronnie took one and mick took the other. Is this really true ? Hmmmm....interesting. iorr is actually the first Stones single I thought was just so-so. Too sing-along-y! A little Slade-ish ! My choice for worst ever song : We are the champions.

I'm afraid the value is not so great, because you do not have the first pressings.I checked my Rolling Stones no. 2 and Around and Around (they are first pressings) and they look different. I did not check the others, but I'm sure Through the past is not a first pressing (it does not have the octagonal cover). There is an enormous price difference between first pressings and later. A f

Yes of course. She had the first released version of "The first cut is the deepest", before Cat Stevens recorded it himself. Hers is the definite version. Also the first released version of "Bury me down by the river", the Bee Gees song. Great again. Her two Immediate albums "Kafunta" and "The first lady of Immediate" are also very good.

QuoteJumpingKentFlash They played Little Baby live? It's the version on Stripped I talk about. Maybe it was recorded at a rehearsal instead of the Paradiso club. You seem to know more about this than I do.

There are many Stones (and solo) songs scattered on singles, compilations, bonus discs and live records that I play too seldom. So I decided to make a "best of" compilation that I hopefully will play. I chose 36 songs. They would probably have fit on 2 CDs, but I used 3 to make them more LP like. Everything is post Decca and nothing is on a regular record. Here they are: CD1: 1. Do

I saw the original too, in Oslo in 1975. Great stuff! In fact, all the Gabriel era Genesis stuff is very very good. As is most of Gabriel's solo material.

QuoteChild Of Clay Bulgakov is great, this is is probably the best book I've ever read. If you're not a reader it's not a good one to start with, but it's not a difficult read like James Joyce's Ulysses (not to mention Finnegan's Wake). That Russian tv-series (at least 10 one hour episodes long) is a great, faithful version of it, and features a very beautiful, and
