The Rolling Stones - Complete BBC Sessions 1963 - 1965 2CD (2017 Ass Blaster Records, Fan Made Project-Not For Sale) Flac & mp3


The Rolling Stones' BBC sessions haven't been accorded the same deluxe bootleg treatment as those of The Beatles, for two big reasons: they didn't record nearly as much for the Beeb as The Fab Four, and (unlike The Beatles) didn't record many tracks that they didn't release on record. Good fidelity tapes exist of a few dozen of their mid-'60s BBC airshots, and fans will find them worth picking up. Heavy on R&B covers (the Stones, like The Beatles, didn't record for the BBC after 1965), the tracks, as is par for the course on radio sessions, don't better or usually even equal the studio renditions, but have an interesting rougher live feel.


They did manage to let rip on a half-dozen or so unreleased covers, and these items are naturally the most interesting, especially their takes on "Memphis, Tennessee" and their incendiary "Roll Over Beethoven," which is perhaps even better than the well-known Beatle version.(Richie Unterberger allmusic.com)

There are a lot bootlegs of the BBC sessions by the Stones out there. This is a really good one. This is the Stones at a time the whole madness of superstardom was short before to begin.Very bluesy and a lot of rhythm and blues stuff is here but also the early pop hits of the band. It's a two disc fan ''release''. And it's like allmusic said, the Stones haven't done much recordings for the BBC. But here are some big fat gems. And what this recordings shows is how good the Stones really were. And i am not a Stones fan.



Have fun

  1. These are essential recordings not only for every Stones fan, but for every fan of U.K. R&B and classic rock 'n' roll. I'm of the opinion that the 1964-65 period is their best on disc, and this collection presents that sound in otherwise unavailable recordings. Thanks for the upload!
