By way of background,"Sticky Fingers" was begun at the remote Muscle Shoals,Alabama studio in December 1969.Further sessions occurred at Mick Jagger's Stargroves country home studio,as well as Olympic Sound Studios,London.The album was released in 1971,504 days after the first session at Muscle Shoals.It was produced by longtime Stones friend Jimmy Miller and introduced guitarist Mick Taylor as a member of the Stones.The album reached number one on both sides of the Atlantic and subsequent sales also proved strong over the decades.
The project will be released on 8 June overseas and 9 June in the United States.It coincides with the Stones' Zip Code North American tour that begins on 24 May at Petco Park,San Diego.

Late Sixties Treasures From the Music Vaults

A number of historic Eric Clapton performances are featured in tonight's lineup."Badge" is from Cream's last album "Goodbye," but was written and performed by Eric Clapton and George Harrison,as well as Cream members Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker."Blind Faith" was a super group featuring Eric Clapton,Steve Winwood,Rick Grech and Ginger Baker that made only one album and performed only one concert,the Hyde Park,London concert excerpted here with "Presence of the Lord" written by Eric Clapton.Clapton plays again in "Tribute to Elmore" with Jimmy Page,a track from early in the two master guitarists' careers.
Perhaps most interesting of all is Clapton playing guitar with John Lennon,Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones on bass and Mitch Mitchell of the Jimi Hendrix Experience on drums.Calling themselves "The Dirty Mac," they played "Yer Blues," which is John Lennon's song from The Beatles' "White Album" for a segment of the Rolling Stones' ill-fated project "Rock And Roll Circus."The spectacle blended songs with circus performers from Sir Robert Fosset's Circus,but the Stones felt their own performance was bland and upstaged by The Who,so they shelved the show.A bootleg album of the songs was circulated,however,including "Yer Blues." The song was recorded on 11 December,1968 at InterTel video studio in Stonebridge House,Wembley,London.Glyn Johns and Jimmy Miller did the sound recording on Olympic Sound Studio's mobile studio.The video is by director Michael Lindsay-Hogg and cameraman Tony Richmond,who later worked on The Beatles' "Let It Be."
"The Dirty Mac" also played a blues jam and covered a few rock-n-roll classics,Buddy Holly's "Peggy Sue" and Elvis' "It's Now Or Never."
The entire "Rock And Roll Circus" footage,including "Yer Blues," was officially released in 1995.

A Super Bowl of Controversy

Unlike past Super Bowls,this one has been dogged by the suspicion that one of the participants cheated on their way to the iconic sporting event,and also media frustration with one of the football players.We're a league of rules,said NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell at a Friday afternoon news conference,and if there are rules about how to inflate the football,we're going to enforce those rules.Whether an advantage was gained by breaking that rule is immaterial;it's the integrity of the game,and we're going to enforce it.Mr.Goodell didn't answer a reporter's question as to whether the deflategate scandal would cast a shadow over this Super Bowl at University of Phoenix Stadium,however.He did say that we want the truth.If there are violations of the rules,we take them seriously.As of yet,that has not been ascertained with regard to the New England Patriots possibly tampering with footballs in their playoff game with the Indianapolis Colts.The investigation is ongoing.
Responding to British reporters,he spoke enthusiastically about the prospects for the NFL in London.London has done not only everything that we expected;but more than we expected.Every event that we have there explodes with interest.We are expanding the number of games.Their passion is obvious.We don't know where it will go,but there's great potential in London for the NFL.*
Mr.Goodell expressed no sympathy for Seattle running back Marshawn Lynch,who had repeatedly refused to answer reporters' questions,responding with the statement "I'm only here so I won't get fined."All the other players and coaches did answer questions,and the fans want to here from them.It sounds as if a fine could be in Lynch's future regardless of his showing up at media events.*
Londoners and the city of London are practically begging for their own NFL franchise.There are NFL fans in Australia and Canada as well,plus in other countries such as Mexico.*
Although this Super Bowl is plagued by the doubts of fans and media alike,there is no doubt that NFL fans will still watch the game in droves and consume a lot of snack foods in the process.The footballs used in Sunday's game between the Patriots and Seattle Seahawks will be intensely scrutinised,there is so much at stake.It's a big winter holiday and commercial event in the United States,and a big business like the NFL has no choice but to mean business on its most important Sunday.

What Is Life and the Album It Came From

George Harrison's "What Is Life" is from what he considered to be his first solo album,the three-disc set "All Things Must Pass." It was recorded in 1970-partially in the same Abbey Road,London studios The Beatles used to record their last album in 1969;but was musically distinguished by the slide guitar style of playing which Harrison learned from his friend,fellow guitarist Delaney Bramlett.
Two discs of the album were songs,and the third consisted of jam sessions.The collection's two biggest hits were "My Sweet Lord" and "What Is Life." The LP was co-produced by legendary American Phil Spector,known for his "Wall of Sound" approach,which entails building a thick tapestry of sound through intensive overdubbing.That certainly comes through in "What Is Life."
"All Things Must Pass," which was remastered and partially re-recorded in 2001,the year of Harrison's death from cancer at age 58,hit number one on the album charts worldwide.It went on to be the most commercially and artistically successful of any of The Beatles' solo albums,being highly regarded by critics to this day.In the US alone,it has gone 6x platinum.
Among the album's vast roster of contributors were Phil Collins,Eric Clapton,Ginger Baker,Ringo Starr,Dave Mason,Bobby Keys and orchestral and choral arranger John Barham.It was nominated for the Album of the Year Grammy Award in 1972.
I have offered two versions of the song "What Is Life":one with an India-inspired photo of Harrison;the other featuring a slide show of photos of Harrison,Phil Spector and longtime Beatles assistant Mal Evans.

NBA Special:Knicks Drubbed By Bulls Before London Trip

At Madison Square Garden on Friday night,the New York Knicks lost for the third straight time in games with the Chicago Bulls this season,108-101.The Bulls were led by Luol Deng and his season high 33 points.
 Carmelo Anthony's impressive second half and 39 points couldn't save the injury-riddled Knicks,who staged a fourth period rally that was stopped by a Marcus Bellinelli deflection.Anthony was greeted with cheers of "MVP" by the fans at MSG.
The Knicks are missing Raymond Felton,Marcus Canby and Rasheed Wallace,as evidenced by their falling to a 23-13 record with Friday's loss;the Bulls moved up to a 20-14 record.
The Knicks will take on the Detroit Pistons on Thursday,January 17 in the third NBA game in history to be played in the UK.The game,a Pistons hoe game,will take place at O2 Arena,London.Presented by Adidas, it will be broadcast by Sky Sports.The sold-out event will be available live in 3D and on mobile,online and tablet via Sky Go.
Following the Thursday game,NBA games will be televised by Sky Sports for the rest of the regular season on Sunday nights,with double headers on most weekends;then live NBA Playoff games,the entire Eastern Conference Finals;and every game of the NBA Finals in June.
A warm front moved into the US east coast Friday with rain and fog,but will be short-lived as cold air and possibly snow returns to the picture for next week.
