The Rolling Stones: 50

Backstage at the Gaumont cinema in Norwich, where they were the headliner on the All Stars 1964 tour. It was on the eve of the Stones first long-playing record release in Britain, famous for not having the band’s name on the front cover, going straight to No.1 on the album charts. Not Fade Away, the band’s third single was still on the UK charts, but slipping down from its peak of No.3. A week later Not Fade Away was released in America and made it into the lower reaches of the Billboard Hot 100. The Gaumont Theatre, Norwich, Norfolk 24 April, 1964 (Derek Randle, Mirrorpix)
