    Fair enough. As implied in my OP, I'm looking for the supporting material to form my own opinion. I never followed the Stones until it was Ron Wood so Jones wasn't really on my radar. He does have a bit of a mythology to him that can't be denied.

    It's All Over Now was the first rock and roll song I ever heard as a little kid, a friend played me his older brother's 45, on a crap little toy record player. The London 45 with the purple and white label. Already old and scratched to hell. The opening guitar blew me away for life: I asked him if I could borrow it (forever), he said no it was his brother's. He said why don't you go buy it? Where? A record store. What's a record store. I had no idea how to buy a record, never heard of a record store and had no money anyway, which was all beside the point because I had to have that exact disc. It was alive and clearly a precious magical power object. Instant Gollum. After much heated negotiating he gave it to me. I believe I told him I had to have it and was going to take it anyway so I would rather keep things friendly. I never gave it back. It was indeed All Over Now for me after hearing that number.

    His sitar always gets talked about, but he played acoustic guitar on Paint It Black as well.

    Not that it's a display of guitar genius, but this track has always done it for me. The band are smoking hot doing what they did best in the early days. I think it demonstrates perfectly the power of the original line-up with Brian on slide. No genius on display from anyone, just a **** hot band who know what they're doing and play superbly together.

    This was my very first thought on seeing thread title... and you're correct why it's overlooked...

    Never really noticed the acoustic guitar before. He's doubling some of the sitar parts and extending them on acoustic (less work on the sitar!)

    Makes me think perhaps Keith is not doing to much more than some electric work, particularly near the back end.

    The acoustic is chordal through out.

    Keith's electric is doubling the sitar etc.

    Great song list. I'm glad you included the IBC recordings. Brian playing great guitar here. It amazes me when people say he was a fair to middling guitarist. This is great guitar as far as I'm concerned. Brian played a variety of styles and played them well. Especially the weaving he and Keith did. No other guitarists at that time were doing it but those two. It's unfair that Keith always gets all the credit. It took both of their guitars to create the Rolling Stones sound.

    "Down at the Bottom", an unreleased Chess Studios recording from 1964, is a real gem that features an awesome Brian Jones slide guitar and Mick harmonica. It would have been at home on Exile on Main Street. Always been baffled that they didn't release this track, I guess no one was ready for it in 1964!

    ...i still hope that one day we see those Cotchford Farm demos leak out...

    anything to give us a hint at what direction a Stone Alone - Brian Jones may have done...

    Tom bloody Keelock probably destroyed them. Incidentally I’d love to hear the version of Honky Tonk Women before Brian was wiped off the track, I think his father mentioned hearing it in an interview.

    Have to second Ash 1's shout out to their version of Hank Snows "I'm Moving On "
    Brian's slide playing really sounds great here along with the band's performance.
