The Mayflower label, one of the few labels that still continues producing silver discs, has recently ventured into another revisiting job starting with the Stones live 60s recordings. Here we have the year 1965 documented with 2 different shows, L’Olympia in Paris and Masshalle in Gothenburg on a strangely titled disc called Whirlwind of Life. The first recording is the French radio broadcast which is one of the best early Rolling Stones live material available, its importance proven by the sheer amount of releases and re-releases of these tapes, Vinyl Gang alone released this material four times: Still I’m Gonna Miss Tou (VGP 073), All Those Years Ago (VGP 079),  Rolling Stone Gathers No Moss (VGP-101) and Reelin And Rockin (VGP 274), Dog And Cat two: Paris Match (DAC 007) and Get Your Kicks (DAC 185), not to forget IMP From Paris to Hamburg (IMP N 051), Goldplate L’Olympia Live in the Sixties (GP 1302 CD), Godfather Rec. 66 Route (G.R.262) and Olympia 65 Satisfaction & Beyond (G.R.484),Sister Morphine: …Our Last Concert Ever (Morph 57) and WLR The Real Alternate Album Studio Works 1961-65 (RTR 006) as well as countless others; it is sufficient to state that the early releases of these tapes were fair sounding at best while later releases have had an improvement with copies made from rebroadcasts from the radio. As a matter of fact, French radio Europe 1 recorded and broadcasted four of the concerts in Paris from 1965 to 1967(too bad the first show from 20 October 1964 is missing). The tapes have been rebroadcasted several times over the years and have been released on a number of bootlegs. The April 18th, 1965 was the last of three shows played there that year, unfortunately both the 16^th and 17^th April recordings are not available; the set list has the Stones emphasizing cover tunes. Sound quality for this tape is excellent, balanced and complete. It is very consistent in quality without some of the breaks between songs and the final track, Bo Diddley s Craw-Dad which was renamed Hey Crawdaddy on many bootlegs due to the Stones making this song their signature tune while at Richmond s Crawdaddy club which is OK here. Everybody Needs Somebody is the opening song followed by Around & Around and then the band delivers a very fun and enthusiastic set. It’s All Over Now has the crowd singing along and Little Red Rooster contains great slide guitar by Brian Jones. On I’m Alright Mick has the audience in a frenzy! It interesting to hear the Stones in mid- sixties radio friendly pop-blues form, playing a lot of bouncy, happy, snappy tunes. The second radio broadcast on this release comes actually from 2 weeks before in Sweden and was just released previously on Play With Fire (VGP 286) 2 songs only and Scandinavian Shakedown (VGP 365) complete; this is a real audience recording obviously worse in quality with lots of screams but still listenable.
