Bob Harris looks at the back at The Rolling Stones in the 60s when the band had nine albums and fourteen Top 10 hits in seven years. First broadcast in 2002 and repeated as part of 6 Music Celebrates 50 Years of The Rolling Stones.

Programme two: Sticky Fingers

1967 saw a turning point for The Rolling Stones. With the release of Between the Buttons, the band finally abandoned the ways of pure pop in favour of their blend of rock and blues.

A brief infatuation with psychedelia, and an encounter with the British law, resulted in a revitalised band that resulted in an edgy Beggars Banquet album filled with detours into straight blues and campy country which was hailed a masterpiece. While it undoubtedly opened a new chapter in the saga of the Stones, it was also the beginning of the end for their relationship with Brian Jones.

Key albums featured: Between The Buttons, Their Satanic Majesties Request, Beggar's Banquet, and Let It Bleed.
