Whatever we get, we are gonna get good shit!
I love you all and its all great news. The funny thing for me was that 78, MISS YOU, was what got me into the Stones. I bought the single. Then the 12inch . My sister (a Beatles nut who once had John Lennons bed sheet from Melbourne 1964 - our mum burnt it as "rubbish"), leant me GHS. Igot the Decca box set (with free t-shirt!), i think, made in the shade, between the buttone, ER etc - it was a while before i got Some Girls. Dunno why???
I was in America in 79 when Jerry Lewis did his annual telethon, and the Stones either donated all proceeds from Miss You to that charity, or they indeed, performed the song (or gave permission for the clip to be shown) - i cant recall. But after a fucking 29 hour flight from Melbourne, San Fran , LA - i was so jet lagged, and the 1st thing i saw was the Stones on the Jerry Lewis show - well, the deal was sealed.
I was a Stones junkie!
Still bloody am!
And my great, great Grandfather was a Yank!
So, all in all, with that history, and Mick being half Australian, i feel i deserve something for free!
