The Rolling Stones - From Blue Boys To Playing Chess 1962 -1964. Documents how Little Blue Boy and the Blue Boys became first the Rollin' Stones and then the Rolling Stones we know and love today. The journey takes us from reel-to-reel recordings in suburban front rooms via primitive London studios with egg-box soundproofing to the legendary Chess studios in Chicago. Over twenty-five songs, this CD features seminal artists such as Chuck Berry, Muddy Waters, Jimmy Reed, Bo Diddley, Slim Harpo and Big Bill Broonzy as well as the lesser known Tampa Red, Will Bradley and Jazz Gillum. This compilation highlights the cover versions responsible for shaping the Stones sound, then and now. These commence what promises to be a fascinating series that will explore the disparate elements that made sense when they were embraced by the two most influential groups from the era bracketed by the decline of classic rock and the first stirrings of punk.
