On Air (Deluxe)
[ Polydor / 2 CD ]
Release Date: Friday 1 December 2017
The Rolling Stones - On Air is a collection of rarely heard radio recordings from the band's formative years. The songs, including eight the band have never recorded or released commercially, were originally broadcast on bygone UK BBC shows such as Saturday Club, Top Gear, Rhythm and Blues and The Joe Loss Pop Show between 1963 and 1965.
These flashbacks offer an insight into the band as a vital and constantly surprising live unit. Such was the frequency with which they visited BBC studios in the 60's, the group constantly set out to offer listeners something different. As well as songs that never appeared on singles or albums, there are seven tracks that were debuted over the airwaves before featuring on albums or EPs.
The group's take on familiar R&B staples like 'Roll Over Beethoven', 'Memphis, Tennessee' and 'Beautiful Delilah' (all originated by Chuck Berry) illustrate the verve and energy the Stones regularly brought to their live shows. The BBC would urge them to perform their current singles, and while happy to do so they also relished the opportunity to showcase a fuller picture of their prowess as Britain's foremost blues outfit, packing clubs and ballrooms night after night.
