~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I've been going thru my massive vinyl record collection this winter and pulling out some LPs that I thought that someone else would want for their collection. I've been collecting records for over 40 years and it's time to pass some of them on to the next generation of collectors.
This week on EBay I am offering up this fantastic, clean copy of the classic Rolling Stones 'Collector' album "LIVE IN PARIS / LIVE IN SWEDEN 1964 PLUS STUDIO DEMOS '63 - '65". A great 2-LP set. This is my original copy from the early 80s that I've taken great care of for many years. 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is a great 'Collector' record featuring live recordings from the April 18th 1965 Paris show, 4 live cuts from the 1964 European Tour, and 11 studio tracks, from different sessions in 1963/64, that weren't released on any album at the time.
The April 18th, 1965 show was at the L'Olympia theater in Paris
The source of the 4 tracks on side C has been debated by Stones collectors for years. One thing is certain, they aren't from 'Sweden 1964' as the jacket claims. The best research suggests that they are either from an October '64 TV Show recording in Berlin or more likely from the April 10th, 1964 'Joe Loss Pop Show' from BBC radio. 
There are 11 'Studio' outtakes to finish of the album. These are from different recording sessions and were all 'unreleased' at the time.
The first 5 songs, thru 'Baby, What's Wrong', are from I.B.C. Studios in London March 11th, 1963. 
'Stewed and Keefed' is a classic Keith song from the Chess Studios session on June 10th, 1964.
The next 3 songs, thru Howlin' Wolf's classic 'Down in the Bottom' are also from Chess Studios, but the next day, June 11th, 1964.
The last track, 'Looking Tired' is from the classic sessions at RCA Studios in L.A. on September 6th, 1965
~~~~~~~~~~ At the time this was released, it was felt to be the best sounding version of the 1965 Paris show. Better versions would emerge later in the Digital years, but in 1983, when this was released, it was quit good. This release, from 1982/83, is on a 'no name' label. This original first pressing had plain yellow labels, with no mention of the Band or the record Company.
Later reissues had different, less metallic silver color on the jacket and different colored record labels, some plain and some with a generic design.
The Jacket cover is great. Black and White, with silver lettering. It has a vintage picture of Mick and Keith at the microphone, but the photo is 'split' with Keith on the Back and Mick on the front. I can't help but think this was originally meant to be a gatefold jacket, but switched to a single jacket at the last minute. It works well for a 1983 release, as the Glimmer Twins were on bad terms at the time, barely even talking to each other. Together, but not. It would have looked better as a Gatefold. Both albums are jammed into a thin single jacket, just begging for ringwear and seam splits, but this copy has neither.
The records come in Poly-lined vintage London "ffrr" sleeves. Sort of a fitting touch for a Stones record. I don't remember if that's the way they came or I did that back in the day. It's probably something I did. I purchased this new and sealed at a Chicago Record show before I left Chicago in 1985 and I doubt that they would do a cheap-ish cover, but add quality inner sleeves.
As I said, the first record is the second night in Paris, April 18th 1965, and the other record is the 4 live 1964 songs plus the studio demos.
The track listing on sides C and D are messed up on the Jacket. There are several songs on the Album that aren't listed on the Jacket.
The track listing below is the correct running order.
This concert was their first time playing in Paris and was a great show. They were better on the second night. This '65 European Tour was excellent by all accounts. There aren't many good sounding recordings from the 1965 tour available and this Paris show is one of the better ones.
~~~~~~~~~~~ Another 'collector record' of this same show claims: "At last, here is a high quality recording of the riotous 1965 European tour. The incredible charisma of the Rolling Stones, the excitement of the Paris audience is completely apparent on this recording of the first appearance of the Stones in France. All previously issued recordings of this concert wither in comparison. No Ripoffs".
~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Stones were very busy in 1965, touring, recording, making personal appearances and radio shows, both in Europe and in the States. Many different polished UK bands toured America in 1965, joining the British Invasion, but the Stones were different.
The Stones looked and dressed just like the other kids and looked rather scruffy. This was the period when bands dressed in matching suits to perform. The Stones looked like they were pulled in off the street.
The Stones were loose and relaxed on stage, scruffy looking kids from England. They looked like they had just met that day and jumped up on stage. 
There wasn't a whole lot of theatrics or choreography to their shows back then, unlike many of the other bands of the day. Charlie and Bill keeping the groove going strong, both barely moving at all. Charlie's simple, but perfect drumming and Bill standing almost still, playing his bass in his 'vertical' style. Their Vox AC-30 Amplifiers cranked all the way up.
That was a big part of their appeal. They looked just like the fans they were playing for. The Stones made their fans feel like they could do what their heroes were doing and go start their own band.
~~~~~~~~ The Stones music was taking a drastic turn in 1965. It was a great time to see them live in concert. During 1965 they went from well mannered English kids playing blues covers to unkempt, scruffy kids singing their own songs about sex, partying, independence and rowdiness.
They started the year playing mostly Blues and R&B covers, but by the end of the year had released 'Satisfaction' and 'Get Off of My Cloud', taking their music in a new direction.
Brian Jones was at his musical peak around the time of this 1965 Paris recording as well. On this record and tour you can really hear Brian shine.
The drugs hadn't taken over yet and he was still the master of his voice and instruments. Brian plays some fantastic slide guitar licks and plays some terrific harp on this record.
On this 1965 tour, Brian still played most of the harmonica bits, while Mick danced around, sang and banged his tambourine. Before the Stones '65 Tour, the tambourine was a folk percussion instrument. Mick was one of the first to feature it as a 'lead' instrument and play around with it onstage. Mick was a tambourine master.
Brian Jones was clearly one of rock and roll’s most unique and dynamic guitarists. Brian and Keith had a great sound playing together in 1965. They developed what Keith has called the "ancient art of weaving" where they both simultaneously play lead and rhythm guitar at the same time, without clear boundaries between the two roles, punctuating each other's work.  It made the 2 guitars sound like four or five. It became a Rolling Stones trademark. 
There is some great slide guitar bits from Brian on this live recording as well as some Bo Diddley style bits.
~~~~ Once the Stones took on Andrew Loog Oldham as manager, he started pushing the band away from their blues roots and towards a more Pop style. Covering other people's songs didn't pay the bills. He wanted the band to write their own songs, like the Beatles, and pushed the 'glimmer twins' to write together, leaving Brian out of the loop. Oldham also wanted to make Jagger's charisma and flamboyance the focus of their live performances, moving Brian to the background. He succeeded.
The further away from their blues roots they got, the more Brian felt disconnected and uninterested. After this 1965 Tour, Mick took over more of the Harp bits and Brian branched out to other instruments like the Dulcimer, Recorder and Sitar. He was an essential part of the next few albums, but their style was very different.
His time in the band may have been short, but Brian was the original leader of the band, a talented musician, and gave them their name, but he was always a bluesman and it's obvious on this record. Brian would slowly self-implode and was famously dead at 27. Mick and Keith then took the band in a very successful direction.
There have been many changes for the Stones over the years, but one of the key transitions was Pre and Post 'Satisfaction'. This album shows the band at the peak of their Pre-Satisfaction Era.
Overall, a fantastic LP of rare live tracks from the 1965 European Tour and a bunch of great soulful and bluesy outtakes which were never released as they were covers and/or not the sound their managers or London wanted.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Add this rare. classic, Rolling Stones record to your collection. It has some great, rare songs and the records hold a special place in the history of collectible Rolling Stones records.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The (correct) songs on this album include:
Around & Around Off The Hook Time Is On My Side Carol It's All Over Now Hey Crawdaddy Little Red Rooster Route 66 Everybody Needs Somebody To Love The Last Time I'm Alright ~~ High Heeled Sneakers Little By Little I Just Wanna Make Love To You I'm Moving On ~~ Diddly Daddy Road Runner Bright Lights Big City I Want To Be Loved Baby What's Wrong Stewed And Keefed High Heeled Sneakers Tell Me Baby (How Many Times) Down In The Bottom Looking Tired
~~~~~~~~~~~~ CONDITION: I tried to show good hi-resolution photos of the cover, labels and vinyl in my pictures.
VINYL: The vinyl is still fantastic. Clean and bright. There are a few hairlines on the last side, but nothing serious. No obvious significant scratches or damage. I'll call it VG+, to keep everyone happy, but you can see from my photos how terrific it looks. Much better than VG+. I treated my records with care.
LABELS. The labels are clean and bright, but dull plain yellow. On disc One, I wrote a neat "1 and 2" to tell the sides apart. Disc Two has no writing or marks. The spindle holes are clean, suggesting infrequent or very careful play.
JACKET: The jacket is excellent. Clean and bright. The corners are sharp, no seam splits or issues. Some minor creases, but no ringwear or damage. Quite nice for a cheaper quality, all black cover. It has a couple of 'crinkles' along the seam, but it's about as good a 'used' copy of this release as you're likely to find.
I've owned this record since the early 80s and it has been sleeved and kept in great condition for around 45 years now.
