180g Yellow Vinyl Double LP!
Limited Edition - When These Are Gone...They're Gone!!!
On Air is a collection of rarely heard radio recordings from the Stones formative years. The songs including eight tracks the band have never recorded or released commercially, were originally broadcast on UK shows such as Saturday Club, and Top Gear between 1963 and 1965. The tapes have gone through the "audio source separation" process, making tracks like "Come On," "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction," and many more sound better than before. The vinyl release features 32 classic tracks on 180g yellow 2LP!
What's notable about On Air is how quickly the Rolling Stones developed their own signatures within the confines of covers (eight of which the band never cut in the studio). Charlie Watts swings with a vengeance, Bill Wyman counters with percolating bass runs, Mick Jagger sings with a savvy sense of remove, while Brian Jones and Keith Richards are so closely intertwined, it's hard to separate the riffs from the solos. Much of this can be heard on the Stones' studio albums from this period, but the live setting - done primarily on the Saturday Club show, but also The Joe Loss Pop Show and Top Gear - heightens the excitement, giving the performances rough edges that are nearly as appealing as the group's interplay.
