ALS signed “Mick, x,” one page, 7 x 9, no date but postmarked August 31, 1966. Letter to Nadine Conley of San Jose, California. In part: “I also like the Animals and Chuck Berry, and yours truly—just kidding! I can’t remember much about getting out of a car and being hugged, but I know I didn’t get hurt. I expect I enjoyed it.” In fine condition, with intersecting folds (one vertical fold passing through a single letter of the signature). Accompanied by the original mailing envelope, addressed in Jagger’s hand. A fantastic letter from the Rolling Stones’ most prolific period, featuring excellent musical content. The Rolling Stones and The Animals were not only contemporaries during the British Invasion, but cut from the same cloth—both bands relied heavily on earlier American blues and R&B as influences, and featured songs written by Chuck Berry on their debut albums. In fact, the Rolling Stones' debut single, released on June 7, 1963, was a cover of Chuck Berry's 'Come On.' A truly superb letter by the Stones frontman.
