Some Stones Sidesteps: From Alexis Korner toThe All Star Band
This is a series of shows provided by nzb to present the side project of some of the Stones-members (Ian 'Stu' Stewart, Charlie Watts and Bill Wyman), who accompanied and paid tribute to one of the fathers of English blues rock: Alexis Korner.

Thanks very much to nzb that provided us his recordings, to Jaap (Stonesmuziekfan) who gave critic and advise regarding my work and to my friend Riccardo (MrNo) who participated to a big part of my collection.

We had 3 versions for this show: Jaap's, nzb's and mine - a single cd-r coming from my Rory Gallagher collection (I’m a huge fan of him): all these versions are coming from the same source, but mine was the only one which was lossless. So I only used the other ones to complete “Waiting For The Call”, as this track was cut after 7’49s.To complete it I used a mix of nzb’s and Jaap’s version and the result is astonishing, because the frequencies seem to be complete now and the transition invisible.
I did slightly upgrade the intro/end of the cd-r's a little bit and I cut some gaps between «Walking Blues» & «Waiting For The Call» - nothing more.
I used the two pictures from “Chris Is” found on https://www.flickr.com/photos/identity-chris-is/3242467594.
For the front I made a little montage of both pictures to add CW on the better quality picture and I used the second without any changes for the back cover.
