Rolling With The Stones: A Lifelong Journey

Growing up the first two Rolling Stones albums I heard were Undercover and Dirty Work. Now, these won’t ever figure highly on lists of favourite Rolling Stones records, but I have a connection to them because, as is often the case with music, the first album/s you hear from a significant artist will remain a […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 1330

The Rolling Stones, Black and Blue (1976) Some days this is my favourite album by The Rolling Stones because it was the first original album by them that I owned – on tape. Took a punt. Funny, the only song I knew from it was Fool To Cry and though it’s true I’ve never been […]
