History
In 1973, the government of France banned the Rolling Stones from entering French territory because of various run-ins with the law-most of them occurring during summer of 1971, while the band members were in the South of France, recording one of their masterpieces, Exile on Main St. This was a blow to the Stones' hordes of French fans, who would be shut out from experiencing the Greatest Rock 'n' Roll Band In The World on their 1973 European Tour in support of the newly released Goats Head Soup. That October, the band organized a concert across the Belgian border in Brussels, and a local radio station chartered a bus to transport French fans to the now-historic gig.
All the sights and sounds from this historic show and tour have now been amassed for the first time in The Brussels Affair, the inaugural release from the Stones Archive.
Contents
The 180-gram triple-vinyl & double CD album features material compiled from two shows recorded in Brussels on 17th October 1973 in the Forest National Arena, during their European Tour and comes in a tri-fold picture sleeve which has an integral booklet and retains its opened original shrinkwrap.
The hardback book documents the entire 1973 European tour, with exclusive photographs from Michael Putland and a newly written text by acclaimed NME scribe Nick Kent and contributions from Michael Putland, Nick Kent, Claude Gassian. The pages have gold gilt on the edges and come in a heavy slipcase with leather bound 'lips' around the die-cut front.
The watch features a 1970s style with 'Tongue & Lips' on the stainless steel, and has a Japanese Seiko movement and brass dial.
