836 The Rolling Stones “The Last Time” 1965

“Brian Jones was increasingly disturbed about his own role within the group. In many ways the original instigator of the Rolling Stones, and their early leader, he resented Mick Jagger’s takeover as leader and symbol of the band…Although his resentment was beginning to make itself felt, thee was certainly no suggestion that he should leave the group. For one thing, his musicianship was simply too valuable. As performer on a range of instruments—guitar, dulcimer, mellotron, organ, harmonica—he was not expendable. Listening to the early singles, Jones’ contribution is obvious. In ‘The Last Time’, his guitar supplies both rhythmic impulse and harmonic fill-in” (Tim Dowley, The Rolling Stones, 1983).
