Like The Beatles, the Stones’ early ’60 s gigs were ruined by howling, screaming teenage girls who’d drown out any attempt to record the shows. What exists are – still never officially released – studio sessions the band recorded for broadcast on BBC radio. While the Stones were never as prolific as the Beatles at the BBC, there are some gems.

The Rolling Stones at the BBC: 1963/64

The tracks ‘Memphis Tennessee’, ‘Roll over Beethoven’ and ‘Come on’ were recorded for Saturday Club on September 23rd, 1963 and broadcast on October 26th of that year.

These four songs, ‘Mona’, ‘Route 66’, ‘Cops and robbers’ and ‘You better move on’ were recorded for Blues in Rhythm on March 19th, 1964 and broadcast on May 9th.

‘2120 South Michigan Avenue’ was recorded for Blues in Rhythm on October 8th, 1964 and broadcast on October 31st, while ‘Not fade away’ was recorded for Saturday Club on April 13th, 1964 and broadcast on April 18th.

The final four songs for today, ‘High heeled sneakers’, ‘Little by little’, ‘I just want to make love to you’ and ‘I’m moving on’ were recorded live on the Joe Loss show on April 10th, 1964.

This is only part one, when a few people have left a comment to tell me how lovely the music is, I’ll post part two.

While we’re at it, here’s one of my favourite versions of ‘Not fade away’ by the Scotch Video Tape Skeleton:
