In December of 1964, we did our first session together. Andrew had phoned me from England, and wanted to do a session en route to Australia. I was thrilled; since then, we have worked together thru “The Last Time”; “Satisfaction”; “Cloud”; “Breakdown” and a number of albums, in a way that has been rewarding both artistically and professionally, for working with the Stones is extremely exhilarating. They never go the easy route; from the moment Mick and Keith run a song down to the rest of the group, to Brian deciding on an acoustic or electric guitar, or something more bizarre, to Bill sorting out a bass pattern, to Charlie laying down the tempo; to their friend Jack Nitzsche (always on the dates) or Road Manager Stu (Ian Stewart) picking out chords on piano, organ, harpsichord or anything else that happens to be lying around. To some many hours later, at a final take, it’s all great. In this business of dubious standards,it’s been great working with the Stones, who, contrary to the countless jibes of mediocre comedians all over the world, are real professionals, and a gas to work with.

Transcript of the original liner notes (German Language)
The Rolling Stones — das Fluidum des Pro-vokanten der 60er Jahre verblaßt. Was bleibt, sind Erinnerungen an die einst “härteste Rockband der Welt”. Dieser vom Management und Journalismus geprägte Begriff ist eher geeignet, die Life-Auftritte der Rolling Stones zu charakterisieren, nicht aber ihre Songs. Wesentlicher ist: sie leisteten in den frühen 60er Jahren neben den Beatles den wohl wichtigsten Beitrag zur Entwicklung der modernen Rockmusik. Alles das einbeziehen und berücksichtigen, sowohl die ständige Provokation (schockierende Plattencover, zweifelhafte Texte, aggressives Auftreten), als auch viele großartige Songs, aber auch das unproduktive Verharren in der einmal entwickelten und erprobten Schablone in den 70er und 80er Jahren, so mag vielleicht ein umfassendes Bild der englischen Gruppe The Rolling Stones (Landstreicher, Rollende Steine) gelingen.
Diese Widersprüchlichkeit ist nur zu erklären angesichts der Geburtswehen eines neuen Genres, das sich Anfang der 60er Jahre etablierte — einerseits der frühe Höhenflug, verbunden mit übertriebenem Abgrenzungsgebaren, andererseits das Erkennen von Grenzen, das Zurückfallen in die schlichte Produktion von Rockmusik. Der Ehrgeiz, Neues zu entwickeln verlischt, das erprobte Rezept wird Jahr für Jahr bis zur Gegenwart in klingende Münze verwandelt. Der persönliche Reifeprozeß, das Älter-werden wird hinter Rockschablonen “versteckt”, die Idee des ewig Jungbleibens ständig aufs Neue suggeriert. Einige Aspekte sollen uns helfen, das Besondere der Rolling Stones Songs zu verstehen.
Er war vorher Gitarrist bei John Mayall. Nach seinem Ausscheiden 1974 nahm seinen Platz Ron Wood (1947) ein. Von Anfang an dabei war der Baßgitarrist Bill Wyman (1936). Die musikalische Herkunft, der Blues, prägte fast alle Songs. Kein noch so zwingendes Management hätte die Rolling Stones zu einer anderen Musik überreden können, nachdem der Blues ihnen in Fleisch und Blut übergegangen war. Das betrifft keines-falls nur den formalen Aspekt (Blues-schema), sondern die ganze Art und Weise der Darbietung. Dies äußert sich vor allem in dem ausdrucksvollen Sprechgesang des “Nur Sängers” Mick Jagger. Er versteht es, alle Register der menschlichen Stimme zur Gestaltung der Songs einzusetzen. Die Skala reicht vom sprechenden Singen über-kontrolliertes Schreien bis hin zu geflüsterten Passagen und klaren sauber gesunge-nen Melodien.
Seine Stimme wird zum wichtigen Instrument und bestimmt wesentlich das Klangbild des jeweiligen Titels. Das ist einer der schlüssigen Verweise auf die Tradition des Bluessängers. Nicht das Singen der vorgegebenen Melodie wird wichtig, sondern die gefühlsmäßige Gestaltung, dem Text und der jeweiligen Situa-tion angepaßt. Die Show der Rolling Stones ist einerseits Show im Sinne des Wortes, aber das gestische Gebaren Mick Jaggers und der übrigen Mitglieder ist auch die Umsetzung emotionaler Spannungen und Erregungen in eine Art Körpersprache, wie wir sie schon lange von Jazzmusikern, Blues-sängern und religiösen Gemeindesängern der Afroamerikaner kennen. Solch eine Körpersprache wirkt-ansteckend auf die Zuhörer. Helfen dann noch Sensationspresse und verantwortungslose Konzertmanager nach, so ist das Chaos vorprogrammiert.
Dieser Querschnitt repräsentiert die produktivste Phase der Rolling Stones, und zwar die Jahre von 1965 (Satisfaction) bis 1969 (Honky Tonk Woman).
