By the time The Rolling Stones began calling themselves the “World's Greatest Rock & Roll Band” in the late '60s, they had already staked out an impressive claim on the title. As the self-consciously dangerous alternative to the bouncy Mersey beat of the Beatles in the British Invasion, the Stones had pioneered the gritty, hard-driving, blues-based sensibilities that came to define hard rock. From the moment they exploded from London’s Marquee Jazz Club in July 1962, the Stones defined a hitherto unprecedented rebel sensibility that’s since become accepted as a key ingredient of all subsequent rock. These historic broadcasts chart the changing times that shaped rock ‘n’ roll, but also heralded the arrival and the legacy of arguably, one of the most enduring and influential icons that 20th century pop culture ever produced.
London Calling brings together an expansive set of broadcasts, spanning a decade of ground-breaking roughneck electric Chicago blues from Dartford, England to New York’s Madison Square Gardens! Faithfully restored and professionally remastered original broadcasts. Presented with background notes and timeline photos.
