This weird release comes on vinyl as well as on cd and presents the original songs that inspired the Rolling Stones at the beginning of their career. It is technically a counterfeit rather than a bootleg and present some rare takes like Confessin The Blues by Walter Brown , Cops And Robbers by Boogaloo & His Gallant Crew, Don t Lie To Me by Tampa Red, Down The Road Apiece by Will Bradley and Route 66 by the Nat King Cole Trio spanning from 1937 (Love In Vain) and 1940 (Don t Lie To Me) through 1958 (You Can Make It If You Try). These songs are really inspiring after all these years, it is the power of original songs that is still connected whatever the medium you have to use to hear them even if it is pretty sure that in some cases the Stones heard them second hand too (Don t Lie To Me by Chuck Berry, for instance).
