Obsessed with Michael Aldred’s gossip column in the Fabulous magazine where among other things he mentions getting Dave (who forgets everything) a memory training book

And of course Lulu asked him for fashion advice

In the new documentary, The Stones & Brian Jones, Bill Wyman talks about Brian Jones' efforts to write a song (with Michael Aldred). And we actually get to hear Brian's voice and melody in a quick outtake. Wyman laments that it was never recorded as a finished song. However, fans have noted that the melody is very present in Jones' soundtrack for the 1967 film, A Degree of Murder. I've put the two clips together, so you can hear the progression, from outtake to soundtrack.

An excerpt of a song musician and Rolling Stones founder Brian Jones wrote with Ready Steady Go! presenter Michael Aldred in 1965. The rare audio was taken from the new BBC documentary, "The Stones and Brian Jones” by Nick Broomfield.

I MISSED MICHAEL ALDRED'S BIRTHDAY AAAAAAAAA—

Happy late birthday to him

[meikyuunolovers]

There's one moment in X-Ray that I keep thinking about since I've read it : the one in page 245.

After finishing X-Ray, I dived a bit on the Internet to search for some information about Michael Aldred and found this extract from Andrew Loog Oldham's autobiography ?

The whole "falling in love" bit explains a lot about Michael's behaviour.

Updating this after reading the section in "Kink" that mentions Michael.

And combining what all these books said about him, it seems that he fell in love a lot, but none of his relationships lasted a long time. I wonder if he ever managed to find real love...

I found more interesting stuff about Michael Aldred.

First meeting and already trying to hit on Dave. Wow.

Now I just imagine Pete laughing in the background

That adds more stuff to the Andrew Loog Oldham bit about Michael's personality...

Also I keep forgetting he actually lived in the Connaught Gardens house.

Sorry if this is quite awkward, I wrote this while literally starting to get into the Kinks, so almost a year ago, I think? Tried to fix some sentences a bit, removed others, but I'm unsure I got it right. This post was basically just me trying to find mentions of Michael Aldred since there was almost nothing on the net.
