I was doing some research through some L.A. archives for something I'm working on and found the shot from a Beverly Hills press conference - I love this image

Charlie must not feel well.

This is a marvelous shot. It's wonderful that you were able to find this. It looks like Charlie is going through another one of his "I wish I could be anywhere else except at this press conference" moments. Do you have any idea if this might be available as a print or is it just in an archival state?

Now we've seen it...

Great photo, thanks for posting. I'd love a framed copy of this.

Great post HBW, thanks

Great, classy Stones picture. It also reminds us that Brian Jones was indeed in the band and not a rather unimportant backing musician...

Also, Keith's teeth look, dare I say, healthy.

Great picture taken before heavy drug use took it's toll. The boys in there prime.

Does Brian have the first disposable lighter?

Excellent observation!


That is way before I recall them entering the scene.

Yeah, I don't recall those lighters arriving until the 70's.

so that would be May 65, wouldn't it - they'd either just recorded Satisfaction or were just about to

are those dunhills in front of brian?

This photo is from December 1965, it accompanied an article in the LA Times about the press conference.

Wow!! I was gonna say I don't remember these till the 70's either. Could it be possible that they were available in the UK back then but not here?? (although VERY unlikely)

apparently...yes:


In the 1950s there was a switch in fuel choice from naphtha to butane, as butane allows for a controllable flame and has less odor.[6] This also led to the use of piezoelectric spark, which replaced the need for a flint wheel in some lighters and was used in many Ronson lighters. In 1965 Société Bic launched its first lighter design and in 1998 introduced the child-safety feature, a metal shield over the flint wheel, seen on all modern Bics. Bic lighters are made to be cheap and disposable.[7]

oh how I wish I were a teenager back in 1965, and not a one year old. I would have loved to have grown up in the London area around this time. Anybody have a De Lorean I can borrow?

Great photo, the boys look so good.

Mick's rock, I'm roll.

Great find HB...

Here you are, marchbaby....



And that is a great picture, hbwriter. Mick and Brian look as if they are calculating just how outrageous they can be and still get away with it.

Charlie is my darling
