Promotional Recording Sessions
Rice Crispies Jingle (:24)
The recording source comes to us from a special on commercials and advertising. The jingle was used in the early sixties, and was recorded in October, 1963 at the infamous IBC studios where the Stones had their first real studio session some 7 months earlier. A.k.a. Wake Up in the Morning & Snap, Crackle Pop.

The Words:
Wake up in the morning there's snap around the place
Wake up in the morning there's crackle in your face
Wake up in the morning there's a pop that really sends
Rice Crispies for you, and you, and you
Pour on the milk and listen to the snap that sends us nice
Pour on the milk and listen to the crackle of that rice
Get up in the morning to the pop that's sends us twice
Hear them talkin' crisp
Rice Crispies!
The Rolling Stones deliver 30 seconds of Rockin' R&B boogie. I wish it would go on for 5 minutes longer even with the cereal lyrics!

The more common reissue of the rare "Gravestones" LP. I found this years ago while on a High School date. We came across one of those little record stores that had "the look". Plans for the evening took an immediate detour. Not such a great idea maybe, but I still have the record!

Exile on Main St. a strange street to walk down (from the first two lines)
Exile on Main St., strange street to walk down
Exile on Main St. is a low down dirty crime
This incredible promotional recording provides unique foreshadowing as to what would be revealed in the coming weeks . . . the definitive Rock 'n Roll record of our time. The song is foot stompin' blues soul, with Jagger pounding the ivories. Skip James style Delta Blues. The lyrics cleverly weave track titles from the forthcoming LP into a song. The reverse of the "cut-up" writing style incorporated into Casino Boogie. His pal of the day, David Bowie had turned him on to the concept. Ever wonder why the lyrics of this song don't make sense? They were cut-up on to the floor, and pieced together into a song.
