edlongus SUBS 5th Dec 2019		Composer info (per labels), catalogue number variant and label variant scans added. My copy came with the same insert artwork as already posted. My copy also shows "Andrew's Blues" as the A side.



Lee Wrecker 18th Jan 2017		This would have come out between 1977-79 and according to Discogs the label was "One of the many 'faces' of prolific bootlegger Vicky Vinyl* [aka Andrea Waters] - ex partner to John Wizardo. (aka Wizardo Records)* whose labels also included Dragonfly Records (2), Slipped Disc Records (Skeleton logo), Duck, EEC, Idle Mind Productions, Inc. (aka 'IMP', with Eve & Apple logo [not to be confused with IMP of The Impossible Recordworks]). See also Mushroom Records (7) (Mushroom Cloud logo) and Rolling Stones specialist Label R.S.V.P. Rolling Stones Vinyl Product. The 'Ruthless Rhymes' issues appeared between 1977 & 1979."



The_Vinyl_Junkie SUBS 1st Jan 2017		At the time bootlegs were illegal but initially tolerated by the record companies. The wholesaler in Australia had a Victorian post box for orders whilst the warehouse was in the suburbs of Perth, Western Australia, from where stocks were shipped Australia wide to retailers that took the chance to have them available. Festival records were the biggest anti-bootleg company and refused to supply any retailer that stocked bootleg albums. I visited the warehouse to get Rolling Stone items that I did not have and was lucky to get this as it was the only copy they had, and even more so as they were raided by the police a few days later and had the entire stocks confiscated and destroyed.



Lee Wrecker 31st Dec 2016		The labels here would seem to indicate that this is a German pressing but all of the Ruthless Rhymes labels were in fact pressed in the USA. Perhaps deliberately printed this way to avoid the law and enable the albums to be sold as imports and avoid any copyright concerns the local cops (if you're English read constabulary, Australian read pigs) may have. Regardless, the source of this bootleg is the USA and not Germany as it would appear at first glance.



Magic Marmalade 11th Oct 2016		Thanks for the link Lee... ..It caught my attention because of the "typo" I found on the composer credits of this, that I did enter. Bet there were some arguments back at base camp over the royalties for that particular track on that issue. (If of course, anyone is even now aware of it! best Charlie, Bill, and the Jones estate check their records on that one... maybe Mick and Keith were unaccountably more wealthy than usual that year)



Lee Wrecker 10th Oct 2016		Hey Magic, I think it was more a confidence thing, Loog Oldham forced the Stones to write their own stuff but they weren't so cocksure (he,he) of their ability in the early days. The story goes that the Nanker/Phelge moniker was coined by Brian Jones and used for songs that were written the by the Stones as a collective. To confuse the issue further some songs originally issued with the Nanker/Phelge credit have subsequently been released as Jagger, Richard(s) compositions cutting the rest of the band out of the royalties. Here's a link to the Wiki page with details. Anyway, all this points to this release being a good old fashioned bootleg in that the real artist would only be known to die-hard fans and the content is genuinely rare and unusual.



Magic Marmalade 10th Oct 2016		I'd like to be able to say I knew that Nanker, Phelge were the Rolling Stones (Jagger and Richards in particular (?)), but I can't say that I did in all honesty. I knew they produced as the Glimmer Twins, but why then, do only a couple of their composer credits appear under this name, and the majority of others on the same record appear as Jagger and Richards? (would this have been for "tax" reasons ? :)



Lee Wrecker 8th Oct 2016		Review From memory these songs are demo quality studio recordings. Apparently the Stones had to cut a single in order to fulfill their Decca contract. So the Stones recorded these two numbers with lyrics that were so obscene they could never be played on radio or even released at the time. "Schoolboy Blues" later became more famously/infamously known as "Cocksucker Blues". "Andrew's Blues" is a lewd swipe Loog Oldham and Sir Edward Lewis, the then head of Decca. The song was recorded in 1964 with a drunk Gene Pitney guesting on vocals and the equally drunk Stones providing the music. Neither song is particularly great but they do have novelty value and are schoolboy risque by modern standards. So an interesting listen but not much replay value. File with the Troggs Tapes. 4 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?



The_Vinyl_Junkie SUBS 24th Jan 2013		Regardless of the label it does play at 45. The insert sheet was kind with the song titles.
