The Vinyl Countdown # 56
The Rolling Stones, Let It Bleed (1969) We had this amazing journey around the South Island when I was about 8 or 9 and it was soundtracked by The Rolling Stones. Almost nothing else. My brother had gone in deep for the Stones and it was a massive nostalgia-kick for my folks. I had no […]Archive

The Vinyl Countdown # 1097
The Rolling Stones, The Rolling Stones [EP] (1964) Here it is – their debut EP and it all went to shit for The Rolling Stones after this. They never did anything better than this right here!
