1962

“Look, let’s get this whole thing straight. No matter what we do, we’ll never be up there in the Hit Parade. That’s impossible with our sort of music. We’re kind of a minority. There aren’t many fans who’ll ever understand all this way-out blues stuff. It’s Elvis or Cliff – that’s what the teenagers want. But if we have a real go at it, really work at our material, well…we could get a bit of work and we could build up a little following by persuading people to like the same things we like.” – Keith Richards, spring 1962.
