Description
On offer from my personal rare record collection is a VERY rare 7" one sided acetate called "Stu Ball" by Ian Stewart & The Railroaders. The single to the acetate was actually released in 1966 with Bobbie Miller as the A Side with ‘Everywhere I go’ but decades later the only interest is with Stu Ball which features members of The Rolling Stones!!!!
THIS SINGLE ACETATE IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND SIMPLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND!!!! IT IS EASILY THE RAREST ROLLING STONES RELATED SINGLE ACETATE EVER - AND SIMPLY NEVER TURNS UP FOR SALE!!!!
THE REASON WHY THIS ACETATE IS SO AMAZINGLY RARE IS BECAUSE BACK IN 1963 THE ROLLING STONES WERE ORIGINALLY A 6 PIECE GROUP - WITH MICK JAGGER, BRIAN JONES, BILL WYMAN, KEITH RICHARD, CHARLIE WATTS & IAN STEWART. IAN STEWART PLAYED THE PIANO IN THE BAND AT THE TIME. HOWEVER BEFORE THE ROLLING STONES CUT THEIR FIRST SINGLE - ANDREW OLDHAM (THE BANDS MANAGER) DECIDED THAT IAN STEWART DIDNT 'FIT THE BILL' AND THE BAND WOULD DO FAR BETTER AS A STANDARD 5 PIECE. SO IAN STEWART WAS DROPPED FROM THE BAND. HOWEVER IN TRUTH - HE REALLY BECAME THE '6TH STONE' - AS HE PLAYED ON MANY OF THE BANDS RECORDINGS THROUGHOUT THE 1960s ONWARDS - AND ALHOUGH 'UNCREDITED' AS A ROLLING STONES BAND MEMBER - HE WAS REALLY A PART OF THE BAND IN ALL BUT NAME ONLY!!!! IN 1966 HE DECIDED TO TRY HIS HAND AT RELEASING A DISC WITH THE ROLLING STONES HELP AND ENTERED THE LONDON RECORDING STUDIO ON THE 5TH JANUARY 1966 TO RECORD A SELECTION OF TRACKS. THE LINE UP ON THESE TRACKS, WERE IAN STEWART (PIANO), BILL WYMAN (FRETLESS BASS), KEITH RICHARD (GUITAR) & TONY MEEHAN (DRUMS). A FEW TRACKS WERE MADE AT THIS SESSION AND STU-BALL WHICH WAS WRITTEN BY BILL WYMAN AND IAN STEWART WAS EVENTUALLY SELECTED FOR RELEASE.
ON RELEASE HOWEVER THE SINGLE SOLD ONLY A FEW COPIES AND WAS ALMOST IMMEDIATELY DELETED!!!! TO DATE - ONLY 2/3 COPIES HAVE EVER TURNED UP FOR SALE - AND THEREFORE THIS STU-BALL ACETATE HAS TO BE REGARDED AS THE RAREST ROLLING STONES RELATED ACETATE EVER MADE!!!! THIS REALLY IS THE ULTIMATE ROLLING STONES COLLECTABLE - AND ONE THAT MUST BE MISSING FROM VIRTUALLY EVERY ROLLING STONES COLLECTION - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS AMAZING OPPORTUNITY!!!!
AS FOR CONDITION I CAN REPORT THAT THIS ACETATE IS IN SUPERB CONDITION WITHOUT ANY HAIRLINES SCRATCHES OR SCUFFS – IT HAS A LOVELY SHINE WITH A JUST PRESSED LOOK. IT PLAYS PERFECTLY WITHOUT ANY BACKGROUND NOISE OR CLICKS OR TICS AND HAS TO BE THE BEST EXAMPLE YOU WILL EVER SEE OF THIS AMAZINGLY RARE ROLLING STONES RELATED ACETATE !!!! IT IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND IN ANY CONDITION. THIS IS WITHOUT QUESTION A SUPERB COPY OF THIS ACETATE SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS AMAZING OPPORTUNITY!!!!
