Stones BBC special this Sunday - your help needed!
Jul 4^th, 2012 at 2:00pm

We got this e-mail from BBC Radio 6 today about a show they have lined up for this Sunday (8th July) to mark the band's 50th anniversary.

Hi Gazza and Voodoo,

How are you?

I work on a show called Now Playing @6Music (BBC 6 Music) and this Sunday we are celebrating everything Rolling Stones with a two hour fan sourced show playing their hits, b-sides, rarities, influences, bands they’ve inspired – and anything which fans can find a connection to Ian and co.

It would be awesome if you could post about it on Rocks Off and let your community know to make it the best show it can be but also give Stones fans an opportunity to celebrate the half a century since they began.

Here’s a link to our show blog with all the information - http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/nowplaying/2012/07/rollingstones50.shtml

Our Twitter hashtag for the show is
#RollingStones50
and we have a Spotify playlist which fans can add tracks into here -
http://open.spotify.com/user/bbcnowplaying6music/playlist/5l1AHGlUXjpdY1G2xVurhB.

If you could let me know whether this is possible that’ll be great, and it would be great to get a suggestion from you to play out on the show.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

All the best,

Will Gilgrass

So, now's your chance to get some of your favourite rare songs on the radio!

Seems like short notice. I hope they already have most of that show put together. If the BBC has some decent recordings of Brian-era shows, I would like to hear that.

I doubt the BBC would sanction playing songs only available on bootlegs.

Will has asked me to do a request for a song over the phone, for the broadcast - and to give this site a bit of a mention.

Quite a few other Stones-related specials available to listen now on the BBC Radio 6 website -
