Description
You are bidding on an import Vinyl Release featuring early Rolling Stones recorded in 1963-1972. The LP comes from a small label (Berkeley Records N2005) in the USA. This is not an audiophile album, more of a historic keepsake item. There are plenty of audio pops, this is from the pressing and vinyl it was pressed on, not from abuse
This LP is more of a “collectible” than a great sounding live recording. BUT, the music is awesome, containing very early 1960’s takes on blues classics, many of which never appeared on their regular albums.
The album cover is very worn, sound is good, but not great. The artwork is very cool. This is obviously not the 1st Stones album you should get. But if you want to go deeper, this is a great document of a young band really enjoying playing the blues.
Please remember that this album was well taken care of, but it was played as part of our record collection decades ago.
This item has been stored at room temperature, in a smoke free home. Please see photos of actual item being sold.
Rolling Stones “Bright Lights, Big City” (Unofficial)”
“Unlike other underground albums of numerous live concert and radio broadcast recordings (sometimes misinterpreted as studio outtakes), BRIGHT LIGHTS BIG CITY offered a fascinating insight into the Rolling Stones' legacy of unreleased studio recordings. Rumours among fans that the Stones' recording history had more to offer than the commercially released material suddenly became fact. This was not the well-known official stuff, recycled countless times on often lacklustre compilation albums, but material never heard before: The first-ever studio demos of the Stones' line-up which became famous, recorded at London's IBC Studios in early 1963 (though not the first-ever Stones studio recordings at all, but that's a different story because these were recorded by an early line-up) and unreleased outtakes from their legendary Chess Chicago and RCA Hollywood sessions in 1964/65.
On the other hand, the IBC demos in particular are a far more authentic and accurate document of the Stones' sound at the beginning of their career - and that's what makes them so historically important.
Furthermore, the Chess and RCA outtakes demonstrate that, despite the more commercial development of their official releases and despite all the hype around the group, the Stones never forgot their Blues roots. And ever nowadays, they still take their inspiration from their musical roots. Probably that's the reason why they're still rolling on, not being satisfied by sheer commercial success?
This album is an opportunity to look behind the wall of well-polished official releases, searching for the buried treasures...”
