Artist Biography For The Rolling Stones

The Rolling Stones Is An English Rock Band Formed In London In 1962. Active For Six Decades They Are One Of The Most Popular And Enduring Bands Of The Rock Era. In The Early 1960s The Rolling Stones Pioneered The Gritty Rhythmically Driven Sound That Came To Define Hard Rock. Their First Stable Line-Up Consisted Of Vocalist Mick Jagger Multi-Instrumentalist Brian Jones Guitarist Keith Richards Bassist Bill Wyman And Drummer Charlie Watts. During Their Formative Years Jones Was The Primary Leader He Assembled The Band Named It Got Them Gigs And Drove Their Sound And Image. After Andrew Loog Oldham Became The Group's Manager In 1963 He Encouraged Them To Write Their Own Songs. Jagger And Richards Became The Primary Creative Force Behind The Band Alienating Jones Who Had Developed A Drug Addiction That Interfered With His Ability To Contribute Meaningfully. Rooted In Blues And Early Rock And Roll The Rolling Stones Started Out Playing Covers And Were At The Forefront Of The British Invasion In 1964 Becoming Identified With The Youthful And Rebellious Counterculture Of The 1960s. They Then Found Greater Success With Their Own Material As " I Can't Get No Satisfaction" 1965 "Get Off Of My Cloud" 1965 And "Paint It Black" 1966 Became International Number-One Hits. Aftermath 1966 – Their First Entirely Original Album – Is Considered By The Daily Telegraph To Be The Most Important Of Their Formative Records. In 1967 They Had The Double-Sided Hit "Ruby Tuesday"/"Let's Spend The Night Together" And Experimented With Psychedelic Rock On Their Satanic Majesties Request. They Returned To Their Rhythm And Blues Roots With Hit Songs Such As "Jumpin' Jack Flash" 1968 And "Honky Tonk Women" 1969 And Albums Such As Beggars Banquet 1968 Featuring "Sympathy For The Devil" And Let It Bleed 1969 Featuring "You Can't Always Get What You Want" And "Gimme Shelter". Let It Bleed Was The First Of Five Consecutive Number-One Albums In The UK. Jones Left The Band Shortly Before His Death In 1969 Having Been Replaced By Guitarist Mick Taylor. That Year They Were First Introduced On Stage As "The Greatest Rock And Roll Band In The World".

Exile On Main St. 1972 Featuring "Tumbling Dice" And Goats Head Soup 1973 Yielding The Hit Ballad "Angie" Were Also Best Sellers. Taylor Was Replaced By Ron Wood In 1974. The Band Continued To Release Successful Albums Including Their Two Largest Sellers Some Girls 1978 Featuring "Miss You" And Tattoo You 1981 Featuring "Start Me Up". Steel Wheels 1989 Was Widely Considered A Comeback Album And Was Followed By Voodoo Lounge 1994 A Worldwide Number-One Album. Both Releases Were Promoted By Large Stadium And Arena Tours As The Stones Continued To Be A Huge Concert Attraction By 2007 They Had Recorded The All-Time Highest-Grossing Concert Tour Three Times And As Recently As 2021 They Were The Highest-Earning Live Act Of The Year.

Frogtoon Music Album Info: Their Satanic Majesties Request

Begun Just After Between The Buttons Had Been Released The Recording Of Their Satanic Majesties Request Was Long And Sporadic Broken Up By Court Appearances And Jail Terms. Starting With This Release Non-Compilation Albums From The Band Would Be Released In Uniform Editions Across International Markets. Released In December 1967 Their Satanic Majesties Request Reached #3 In The UK And #2 In The US Easily Going Gold But Its Commercial Performance Declined Rapidly. It Was Soon Viewed As A Pretentious Poorly Conceived Attempt To Outdo The Beatles And Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band Released June 1967 Often Explained By Drug Trials And Excesses In Contemporary Musical Fashion Although McCartney And Lennon Did Provide Backing Vocals On "Sing This All Together." The Album Was The First And Only Album Produced By The Stones Themselves. The Production In Particular Came In For Harsh Criticism From Jon Landau In The Fifth Edition Of Rolling Stone Magazine And The Stones Turned To Jimmy Miller To Produce Their Subsequent Albums. The Response Of The Audience And The Growing Rejection Of The Flower Power Scene By Jagger And Richards Would Mean A Turning Point For The Stones In 1968 The Stones Would Return To The Hard Driving Blues That Earned Them Fame Early In Their Career. In 1998 A Bootleg Box Set Of Eight CDs With Outtakes Of The Satanic Sessions Was Released On The Market. The Box Set Shows The Band Developing The Songs And Striking Is The Cooperation Between Brian Jones Keith Richards And Session Pianist Nicky Hopkins. Richards Is Leading The Sessions And Most Songs Seem To Be Written By Him And Both Hopkins And Jones Indulge In Creating Elaborate Soundscapes With Brian Jones' Parts Created On The Mellotron Being Especially Important For The Sound And Atmosphere Of The Album. Indeed Admiration And Love Of The Album Has Grown Over The Years As A Kind Of Punk Rockers' Own Ragged Flipside To The Beatles More Cheerful Masterpieces From The Same Period. Songs Such As "Citadel" Have Been Covered By A Number Of Young Rock Bands. Initial Releases Of The Album Featured A Three-Dimensional Picture Of The Band On The Cover By Photographer Michael Cooper. When Viewed In A Certain Way The Lenticular Image Shows The Band Members' Faces Turning Towards Each Other With The Exception Of Jagger Whose Hands Appear Crossed In Front Of Him. Looking Closely On Its Cover One Can See The Faces Of Each Of The Four Beatles. Later Editions Replaced The Glued-On 3-Dimensional Image With A Standard Photo Due To High Production Costs. A Limited Edition LP Version In The 1980s Re-Printed The Original 3D Cover Design. Immediately Following The Re-Issue The Master Materials For Re-Printing The 3D Cover Were Intentionally Destroyed. It Was The First Of Four Stones Albums To Feature A Novelty Cover The Others Were The Zipper On Sticky Fingers The Cut-Out Faces On Some Girls And The Stickers On Undercover . The Maze On The Inside Cover Of The UK And US Releases Cannot Be Completed. It Has A Wall At About A Half Radius In From The Lower Left Corner. One Can Never Arrive At The "It's Here" In The Centre Of The Maze. The Working Title Of The Album Was Cosmic Christmas. In The Hidden Coda Titled "Cosmic Christmas" Wyman Tells It's Slowed-Down "We Wish You A Merry Christmas We Wish You A Merry Christmas And A Happy New Year!" The Album Was Released In South Africa As The Stones Are Rolling Because Of The Word "Satanic" In The Title. The Bill Wyman-Composed "In Another Land" Was Released As A Single With The Artist Credit Listed As Bill Wyman Rather Than The Rolling Stones. The B-Side "The Lantern" Was Credited To The Rolling Stones. There Are Only Two Songs From The Album Which The Rolling Stones Performed Live "2000 Light Years From Home" 1989 U.S. Tour And 1990 Tour Of Europe And "She's A Rainbow" 1997-98 Bridges To Babylon Tour . In August 2002 Their Satanic Majesties Request Was Reissued In A New Remastered CD LP And DSD By ABKCO Records.
