Lovely tribute. I have explored this site thoroughly (many times), a nice combination of well-researched facts and irreverent humour.

Irreverent? LOL as far as I remember I cleaned the whole thing, now I see I left some like my comments about Nicky with Julio Iglesias haha, I'm gonna leave it that way

Nothing wrong with a bit of irreverent humour (as opposed to irrelevant!). The hilarious "Keithfucious" page is an example of what I mean, not something you'd see on sites that take themselves (and the band) too seriously. Grin

I love my own Keithfucius page, (to laugh at your own jokes is a good sympthom)

I have not edited it in years, I think more than 20 years as the libnk to the message board is to the "Novogate" years... I think it needs more wisdom from the one an only Keithfucius

Note: The "Keithfucius say" instead of "Keithfucius says", is intentional since day one... both, Keithfucius and the narrator have accent, you know Grin

I ordered from Amazon US and got the paperback...hardcover was also available.

Its a terrific format to "read on a flight"...especially if you have your music available to accompany.

Always love chatting about the Brian era!

Thank you, Paranoid Android!

I've reposted your review below (hope that's OK):

Be advised, this book is NOT a biography.
Nor is it a snapshot of the times.
It is a nice reference book, mostly in chronological order.
It is all the timelines from the inception of the Rolling Stones until that fateful day, July 3, 1969
when Brian Jones departed this planet and went 2000 light years from home.

I found this book most enjoyable on a few recent flights I took.
Where by reading it while listening to songs on the recordings cited in the book, my flights, well, flew by quickly. I suspect I will be doing more of this on upcoming Sunday mornings while drinking my coffee and trying to decide how else to further procrastinate on life's small tasks.

Kick back listen, read, enjoy!
