On 12 July 1962 the group played their first formal gig at the Marquee Club, billed as "The Rollin' Stones". When asked what the band's name was, Jones, in a "panic", glanced at a Muddy Waters LP lying on the floor of which one of the tracks was "Rollin' Stone". According to Richards, Jones christened the band while phoning Jazz News to place an advertisement.
In June 1962 the lineup was: Jagger, Richards, Stewart, Jones, Taylor, and drummer Tony Chapman. The other participants guitarist Geoff Bradford and vocalist Brian Knight attended no subsequent rehearsals after objecting to the Chuck Berry material that Jagger and Richards favoured. Besides Stewart, Jones and Jagger, the first rehearsal of the as-yet-unnamed band also included Richards attending at Jagger's behest. Blues Incorporated also included future members of the The Rolling Stones Ian Stewart and Charlie Watts Stewart found a practice space and joined with Jones to start a R&B band playing Chicago Blues. Richards, Taylor and Jagger saw Alexis Korner's seminal London R&B band, Blues Incorporated and met Brian Jones who was sitting in playing slide guitar with Alexis Korner's band. Along with mutual friend Dick Taylor (later of Pretty Things), the two formed the band Little Boy Blue and the Blue Boys. In 1960, as Richards was on his way to class at Sidcup Art College and Jagger was on his way to class at London School of Economics, they became reacquainted, as Richards noted the Chuck Berry and Muddy Waters records Jagger was holding. In the early 1950s Keith Richards and Mick Jagger were boyhood friends and classmates at Wentworth Primary School in Dartford, Kent, until both of their families moved. Since Fallon is preparing a tribute to the great "Exile on Main St" album soon, I figured now is as good a time as any to show props to Mick and the Boys.

Critical reception Professional ratings Review scoresĪllMusic's Jason Ankeny wrote: "their music is too rich to be merely retro, and too knowing to be merely slavish – the Stones themselves haven't made a record this strong or entertaining in years." Track listing Īll songs on the album were written by Anton Newcombe, except for "No Come Down" and "Miss June '75", written by Matt Hollywood.
The song "Donovan Said" is itself a tribute to Donovan's "The Fat Angel", mimicking the vocal patterns of the verse at about a 3/4's of the speed. The opening track, All Around You (Intro), pays tribute to the showmanship of the Stones, calling one and all to the psychedelic trip that they are about to experience. Following in the footsteps of Keith Richards and Brian Jones, BJM capture and explore the psychedelic rock sound of the late 1960s. Their Satanic Majesties' Second Request reveals vast experimentation with Indian drones, sitars, mellotrons, farfisas, didgeridoos, tablas, congas, and glockenspiels. The album's title and music is influenced by The Rolling Stones' 1967 album Their Satanic Majesties Request. Their Satanic Majesties' Second Request was recorded in 1995 at Bloody Angle Studios.
