Vivian Stanshall was the quintessential pop hero of the 60s, 70s and 80s. Viv shot to fame in 1968 in the BONZO DOG DOO-DAH BAND, but as many listeners of the John Peel Show are aware, his tales of the upper-class Rawlinsons and Maynards were the bees knees for anyone with a warped sense of humour. Born Victor Anthony Stanshall, 21 March 1943, Shillingford, Oxfordshire, his post-WWII family settled in the coastal town of Leigh-on-Sea, in Essex. From bingo-caller to painting fairground attractions (and a spell in the merchant navy), Stanshall enrolled at London’s Central School of Art and Design. It was there in September 1962, he met Roger Ruskin Spear, Rodney Slater and Neil Innes (the latter attended nearby Goldsmiths College) and, with other equally unorthodox musicians, formed The BONZO DOG DOO-DAH BAND.

NO JONES – NO STONES! The founder, heart, and soul of the fabulous Rolling Stones, Brian Jones, died far too young under very mysterious circumstances at the age of only 27 in his backyard (only medium size) swimming pool. Was it an accident, a run of the mill pop star drug overdose, mischievous misadventure, or evil premeditated murder? Author actor narrator Geoffrey Giuliano has been investigating this strange case for over 30 years now, having published several popular books, audiobooks, and even the iconic feature motion picture Stoned in 2006 about the tragic life and times of one of pop’s most talented progenitors. Here, at last, is the final truth of what happened on that long ago steaming summers night in July of 1969. A must-have for all dedicated conspiracy buffs, music fans, pop philosophers, and all inspired university and school systems. This phenomenal audiobook is the final word on one of the greatest foundational artists of popular music the world has ever known. Here is, for all time, the true story of Brian Jones. God bless you, Brian.
