«Не совсем верно утверждать, что Брайан не умел писать музыку, но его сдержанность в представлении своих произведений на рассмотрение группы, по-видимому, была обусловлена ​​смесью застенчивости и неуверенности в себе».
- Алексис Корнер — BBC Radio — История Rolling Stones (1973).
Эти слова Алексис произнес в ответ на заявление Стю/Иэна Стюарта о том, что Брайан «не способен писать музыку».

«Я видел его 10 дней назад в его загородном доме, когда мы играли вместе 14 часов, разобрали несколько музыкальных треков и послушал музыку, которую Брайан недавно записал в Марокко. Мы также просмотрели список возможных музыкантов для его новой группы. Он очень хотел начать снова в стиле, более приближенном к джазу».
- Алексис Корнер - "Daily Express" , 4 июля 1969 года.

Ivan, try to show some respect and at least mention my Brian Jones Resource project when you copy and paste from it. You take my own words and research with no acknowledgement or thanks. 🥺

The Rolling Stones and the oscillator.

For reference here is a quick demo of an old oscillator. Every professional studio had them for tape machine calibration etc etc.


Reference to the Stones receiving oscillators from Vox can be found in issue 47 of Beat Instrumental magazine.

"Recent visitors to Jennings factory in Dartford were Brian Jones and Keith Richard. They went there to try out some new electronic effects and were so impressed, that they said they would use them on their next British tour. Jennings have also made some electronic oscillators, which the Stones have taken away to experiment with. Some of these sounds will be used on their next record session.All these new devices will be on display at the Frankfurt Trade Fair, and will be on sale in England soon after. As yet, they are un-named."

...

There are 4 uses of an oscillator on Rolling Stones recordings from 1966 and 1967.

There is brief use of an oscillator during the intro for Have You Seen Your Mother:


An oscillator was used throughout Please Go Home:


An oscillator was used for the ''Cosmic Christmas' part on Their Satanic Majesties Request album:


An oscillator was used briefly (with tape speed and tape echo) for effects on 2000 Light Years From Home. The oscillator is audible from 2:08 - 2:19 and 2:25 - 2:31:


These uses of an oscillator are often mis-credited as being a Theremin, a Moog, and on occasion, a Mellotron*

...

As for who played the oscillators on these Stones recordings, perhaps the answer is in this quote...

"If it sounds weird, it's Brian." - Andrew Loog Oldham.

Additionally, there is also Brian stating this in 1968.

"I'm very hung-up on electronic music at present. If there is not room to include it on our album I would like to do something separately." - Brian Jones.

...

*For clarity, Brian did of course play Mellotron, using the 3 violins string sound, on 2000 Light Years From Home. Here is his isolated Mellotron playing without the oscillator effects etc:

Brian Jones - Olympic Sound Studios - Circa April - May 1969. By Eric Hayes.

That's Ry Cooder behind Brian with an acoustic guitar. A few photos from this same session show Mick with sheet of paper with lyrics for Bill's Downtown Suzie.

Brian isn't credited officially as playing on Downtown Suzie and that's because even if he played slide guitar during the recording it wasn't kept for the official release. He is also shown playing harmonica at the same session, but there currently aren't any available recordings from 1969 of Brian playing harmonica.

I'll definitely mention your page as a source. It's always interesting to read your posts. With respect and belated apologies.
