Instead, the Rolling Stones embarked on arguably the greatest four-album run in rock ’n’ roll history, a sequence of brilliant LPs, legendary tours and non-stop insanity that featured French villas doubling as tax-and-drug shelters, four dead concert-goers at a free concert in Altamont, California, and one Brian Jones found drowned in his swimming pool. It looked like the beginning of a painful slide into obscurity. Mick Jagger, Brian Jones and Keith Richards’ hedonistic lifestyles, tame by their own later standards, earned the wrath of a heavily punitive British justice system seeking to crack down on young celebs taking part in any sort of deviant behavior. By 1967, they were encroaching on Beatles-lite territory with the poorly received Their Satanic Majesties Request. The Rolling Stones recorded their first song in 1963.
