The Rolling Stones “Jumping Jack Flash” (released originally in May 1968 b/w “Street Fighting Man”) and “Honky Tonk Women”   (released originally in July 1969 b/w “You Can’t Always Get What You Want”) Decca Records

One picture has the band with Brian Jones and the other with Mick Taylor.   Taylor, who at 17 had replaced Eric Clapton in John Mayall’s Bluesbreakers, joined the Stones in June, 1969.   Jones died in July, a month later.   Though Brian was at the recording of “Honky Tonk Women” in early ’69, by the time it was released he was out of the band and replaced by 20-year old Taylor whose guitar work was overdubbed for the release of the single.     Mick Taylor was with the Stones until he left the group in December of 1974, to be replaced by Ron Wood.   Many would say that the Mick Taylor years were the band’s greatest period.

    …and many more would say without fear of contradiction that the golden era of the Stones was, most decidedly, that which included Brian Jones. He was absolutely riveting to watch and his instrumental contributions elevated the band from the aural drudgery into which they rapidly, and so predictably, descended after his demise. Simply put; no Jones, no Stones.

    How unbelievably insulting to a stellar musical genius to suggest that he was not essential, the absolute authentic musical core of the Stones. Brian and only Brian made the Stones the Stones. (They should have changed their name once he was no longer in the band.) I will brook no nonsense on this point.

    I’m glad to have stirred some heated responses. I do think there’s a valid defense of the Let It Bleed – Get Your Ya-Ya’s Out – Sticky Fingers – Exile on Main Street – Goat’s Head Soup – It’s Only Rock and Roll output. Here’s one argument in Taylor’s defense: http://www.jambase.com/Articles/16352/Sat-Eye-Candy-Mick-Taylor

    on a sadder note, looking at brian on the jumpin’ jack flash sleeve (originally b/w “child of the moon (rmk)” which i believe he wanted as an a-side), one can tell the poor man wasn’t long for this world.

    the second sleeve there had as its flip the 5 band members looking away from the camera.

    Brian Jones may have been the creative spark in the first incarnation of the Stones, but it was in the Mick Taylor era that the band made its greatest records. Let It Bleed, Sticky Fingers, Exile on Main Street–it doesn’t get much better than that!

    This was not the first time that the band dressed up for a single. “Have You Seen Your Mother, Baby, Standing in the Shadow?” showed the band in drag. According to one account, after the shoot, they went to a pub had their drinks and no one recognized or disturbed them.

    You do realize, that this is a 45 cover, NOT a L.P. cover, DON’T YOU?

    Taylor replaced PETER GREEN, who had replaced Eric Clapton – and the era of Mick Taylor in the band was undoubtably the most musically satisfying. The sold more albums and did more tours than ever before with Brian Jones. I respected the contributions of Jones – when he actually contributed, which was nil toward the end – but by any stretch of musical judgment, he was not in the same class of Mick Taylor, who could play rings around him.
