Yes, yes yes, [yawn!] it's another doozie from Big O and nothin' from the Swapper's Vaults for ages now.........but they have posted a  
Rolling Stones 
set from the BBC sessions which is peerless in quality and will have you dancin' round the room in no time flat!


I love the early Stones and have pretty much everything.....up to the Mick Taylor times and then they lost me (Stones Vs. Beatles argument anyone?....heh heh. Stones post Mick Taylor argument anyone?] Still this is the band at their earliest and a reflection on quite how much MUSIC the BBC broadcast and the quality [tho mixed here] is exeptional. Beautiful and witty artwork here too

Download it here............The Rolling Stones - Baby See Sessions

Go on you know you want to [Who ARE you talking to? ED]
Just a small footnote but Big O publish some great liner notes on these and the track listing is fascinating......anybody disagree with who they list as authors to these classic blues songs?
