{"title":"The Rolling Stones","description":"\u003cp\u003eLittle did the Rolling Stones know how apt their name—inspired by the title of a Muddy Waters song, \"Rollin' Stone\"—would turn out to be. Formed in 1962, they are the longest-lived continuously active group in rock and roll history. They are also, according to a slogan that is supported by critical and popular consensus, \"the World's Greatest Rock and Roll Band.\" Throughout four decades of shifting tastes in the arena of popular music, the Stones have kept rolling, adapting to the latest sounds and styles without straying too far from their origins as a blues-loving, guitar-based rock and roll band.

It has a fascinating history, which is documented in a few places on the web, including \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Cocksucker_blues\"\u003eWikipedia\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.snopes.com\/music\/artists\/spector.asp\"\u003eSnopes\u003c\/a\u003e, and the \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.superseventies.com\/faq_rollingstones.html\"\u003eRolling Stones FAQ\u003c\/a\u003e. All three sites tell a similar story, like this one from Snopes:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhen the Stones decided to leave Decca Records and start their own label (Rolling Stones Records) in 1970, Decca informed them that their contract obligated them to deliver one more single. The Stones dutifully complied by handing over the unreleasable \"Schooozoy Blues,\" also known as \"Cocksucker Blues.\" (Strangely enough, the song was eventually released by Decca in Germany, as a bonus single included with the 1983 four-LP boxed set The Rest of the Best. The set was quickly pulled and rereleased without the single.)\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany collectors are aware of a bootleg copy of this single, which can be had for $100 or so, but as far as I can determine, this is one of the limited (and unknown) number of copies of the single that appeared in the 1983 (84?) German LP box set. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to determine how many copies exist, nor have I found any copies for sale or auction or even an image of the Decca-released single.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom my experience, however, this is clearly not a bootleg, since it has a high-quality picture sleeve, a professional produced label, and even a copyright warning along the label's outer edge. All bootlegs I've seen have blank labels or no label at all, and have cheap-looking sleeves or inserts (in the case of LPs).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnother oddity about this single is the band's use of the moniker \"Nanker Phelge.\" As explained in Wikipedia, \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eNanker Phelge (aka Nanker\/Phelge) was a collective pseudonym used between 1963 and 1965 for several Rolling Stones group compositions. Stones bassist Bill Wyman explained the origins of the name in his 2002 book, Rolling with the Stones:\\r\\n\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\\r\\nWhen the Stones cut \"Stoned\"—or \"Stones,\" according to early misprinted pressings—as the B-side to \"I Wanna Be Your Man,\" Brian [Jones] suggested crediting it to Nanker\/Phelge. The entire band would share writing royalties. Phelge came from Edith Grove flatmate Jimmy Phelge, while a Nanker was a revolting face that band members, Brian in particular, would pull.\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\\r\\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNeedless to say, the lyrics of this amazing record are as outrageous as the picture sleeve itself! Though I have no reference confirming it, my suspicion is that the single released in the Decca box set was produced by a Stones fan within the company who wanted to complete Jagger's plan to give the company The Finger back in 1970.
