Customer Reviews When it was BRIAN'S Band A release from the precious couple of years of the band's life before the ambitious Andrew Oldham (produced this and all the early Stones recordings) started moving them in a more "Beatlesque" direction in order to cash in. Ah, back in the day when it was Brian Jones' band and the Rolling Stones were more interested in creating great R & B music than stardom and screaming girls. I have all of the ABCKO SACD remasters and I especially like the early material by the Rolling Stones before Brian lost all his influence. I've also been a musician for over 40 years and remember the band's first appearance on the Ed Sullivan show, more years ago then I care to admit or even think about. I was there at the beginning so I've been listening for over 40 years. Given that, I'm exceedingly well qualified to provide you with an objective review. This was/is our introduction to "the band that will not die" ("Bullets can't stop it, rockets can't stop it, we may need to use nuclear force!"). Anyway, this is a very solid first release. There's really only one tune that caused me to raise an eyebrow. "Now I've Got a Witness" includes a very cheesy Farfisa organ accompaniment. But Farfisa organs were in all the studios back then so can we really blame them for letting Stu have a go on it? The guitar and harmonica are quite good on this track anyway. Other than that cheesy organ sound, there are no weak moments to speak of. Sure, "Tell Me" and "Carol" don't seem to fit with the rest of the material but that's ok. This is a very good R & B record made by some really talented young musicians. I especially love listening to Brian Jones' lead parts and harmonica playing. It was also a delight to hear his back vocal clearly on "Walkin' the Dog" even if it was a tad gruff. If you like the early Rolling Stones then this is one you must own; however, I would start with the insanely good "Rolling Stones Now!", their third US release.
Passage of years has done nothing to dim this star....
Good debut, but...
