 |

 |
11/19/06: This new Stones In The Park-release from the UK is as interesting as its French counterpart (see entry of May 28). Restored picture and the three new tracks, but also some interesting bonus stuff, which is different to the bonus on the French release: An unseen interview with Wyman and Watts from March 1971, Jagger's famous "World In Action" TV-interview of May 1967 and some more.

 |
11/05/06: The New Barbarians Go Nutz! One of the all-time classic bootlegs is finally officially available, on Ronnie Wood's own Wooden Records label. Unfortunately the only source to this great concert seems to be soundtrack to a professional shot film of this gig. So we get a remastered version of this soundtrack instead of a properly mixed multi-track recording. So what, this is rock'n roll at its most debauchering, the band sounds totally wired and wasted, but great. Like a punk outfit with a funky ryhthm section. Absolutely fabulous! Get it if you don't already have it. Available here. 2 CD's by The New Barbarians "Buried Alive - Live In Maryland" (Wooden Records CDWDN2) |

10/29/06: Book-news round-up #1: Robert Greenfield wrote the must-have cult-book Stones Touring Party in 1974. More than 30 years later he did another book about his times with the Rolling Stones (1971/72). This one's about the notorious Exile-sessions. Unfortunately it's not as comprehensive and interesting as S.T.P., some mistakes, but still a good read. Hardcover, 258 pages, only five photos (by Michael Cooper). Available here. Book by Robert Greenfield "Exile On Main St. - A Season In Hell With The Rolling Stones" (Da Capo Press, Cambridge, ISBN 978-0-306-81433-4) |
 |
10/29/06: Book-news round-up #2: Alan Clayson already did a whole series of biographies on each member of the Stones. Now he released a discography, which comes in a CD-sized paperback with 464 pages. Most interesting for me are the line-ups which are given here to every released song. Clayson won't reveal his sources, but has interesting infos about bass-players, keyboardists and percussionists for example. But can we trust him, when he lists Jagger as lead vocalist for Coming Down Again or Wyman as bass-player on Fingerprint File? Probably not. Available here. Book by Alan Clayson "The Rolling Stones Album File & Complete Discography" (Cassell Illustrated , London, ISBN 1-84403-494-1) |

10/15/06: The first book about the great but short living Jeff Beck Group.

 |
10/01/06: The Killer is back! It took about four years to complete this great Jerry Lee Lewis & Friends duet-album, but it came out very well. Most interesting for Stones-fans is his duet with Mick Jagger on MJ's own composition Evening Gown (also Ronnie Wood on guitar!) and his duet with KR (who also plays guitar) on That Kind Of Fool. Other guests include Rod Stewart, Bruce Springsteen, Kid Rock (duetting on Honky Tonk Women), Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page, John Fogerty and many other great artists. Recommended. Available here.

 |
08/13/06: Tribute CD's news round-up #3: This cheapo tribute album can be found in the shelves of your local super market.

 |

 |

Musical director and second guitarist of Chuck's band was none other than his admirer Keith Richards. This new release comes with a bonus-DVD with many more footage of KR playing and rehearsing with Mr. Berry, who gave KR (according to his words in this docu) more headaches than Mick Jagger! Recommended. Available here. 2 DVD's by Chuck Berry "Hail! Hail! Rock'n Roll" (Image Entertainment 3080THDVD, -US) |
 |
07/09/06: A third single from A Bigger Bang was timed in with the start of the European Tour. We can argue about the choice for the A-side, but most interesting for collectors are the two previously unreleased-on-CD B-sides (both songs were officially released on the Four Flicks-DVD though) Dance and Before They Make Me Run live from Paris, Olympia July 11, 2003.

This new edition has three interesting bonus tracks, albeit without any detailled credits in the booklet about the personnel on them. Judging by ears it is very likely that at least Silly Little Man has Ian Stewart on piano, but Charlie Watts could also be on at least one of them as well. A lot of specualation, but a good album anyway. Available here. CD by Pete Townshend & Ronnie Lane "Rough Mix" (Revisited Records REV 036/SPV 304 852 CD) |

Their first album was produced by BW and includes sessionwork on two tracks by Mick Taylor. Their second album was also produced by Wyman. Only their third album lacks any Stones-relations.
