December's Children (And Everybody's)
December's Children (And Everybody's) is the fifth US album by The Rolling Stones, released in late 1965. Drawn largely from two days of sessions recorded in September to finish the UK Out of Our Heads album and to record their new single, "Get Off Of My Cloud", December's Children (And Everybody's) also included tracks recorded from as early as 1963.
The majority of the songs appearing on the album were written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, as they penned strong album cuts like "I'm Free" and "The Singer Not the Song" as well as such major hits as "As Tears Go By" and "Get off of My Cloud".
December's Children (And Everybody's) reached #4 in the US and went gold.

July started out in the early '60s as an Ealing-based skiffle act working under the name of the Playboys, and then metamorphosed into an R&B outfit known as the Thoughts and then the Tomcats, through which John "Speedy" Keen passed as a drummer. The final Tomcats lineup, which evolved out of a band known as the Second Thoughts which included future NIRVANA and Hat & Tie man Pattrick Campbell-Lyons, found some success in Spain when they went to play a series of gigs in Madrid in 1966. They returned to England in 1968, the group's lineup consisting of Tony Duhig on guitar, John Field on flute, percussion and keyboards, Tom Newman on vocals, Alan James on amazing zoom bass, (made to sound like the indian tabla drums woop! sound) and Chris Jackson on drums, and changed they their name to July. The band lasted barely a year, leaving behind one of the most incredible LPs of the British psychedelic boom. Their sound was a mix of trippy pop, eastern tinged psychedelic meanderings, eerie vignettes , and strange, bright electric-acoustic textured tracks, with some heavy grooves and dazzling fuzz guitar workouts for good measure, all spiced with some elements of world music, courtesy of Tony Duhig, and time spent in Morrocco. To the layman it might sound as if Pink Floyd, Sgt. Pepper, and Jimi Hendrix all collided one evening at the Middle Earth, with a bit of Maroccan brick and curry...but July have a feel that is all their own and quite unique. Surprisingly,pop chart success eluded them, despite 2 singles on Major Minor and Epic records and an LP deal with Epic/Major Minor. The band separated in 1969, with Tony Duhig & John Field moving on to Jade Warrior (representing the ancient samurai disciplines of art & war) and releaseing some excellent LP's on Vertigo then on the Island label. Jade Warrior's first few lp's will be of interest to the July fan as they mix more ambient eastern and oriental modal styles with a hard acid rock... Tom Newman became a well-respected songwriter and engineer and set up Richard Branston's Virgin studios, with Mike Oldfield 's Tubular Bells to his credit, and bassist Alan James later working with Cat Stevens and Kevin Coyne, among others. July stands as an amazing group that surely deserves more credit retrospectively than was given them at the time. their musicianship, instrumentation and songwriting are as innovative, interesting as any of the top groups of the day, and in their sole album there is much magic to be discovered by those who seek such things...

Jane Birkin emerged in the swinging '60s in London, starring as one of the models in the controversial 1966 film Blowup.In 1968, Birkin went to France to audition for the lead female role in Slogan. Though she did not speak French, she got the role. In "Slogan" she would play alongside Serge Gainsbourg, who became her collaborator. She sang the theme song for "Slogan" with Gainsbourg which became their first of many musical collaborations.
In 1969, she and Serge Gainsbourg released the song "Je t'aime... moi non plus" ("I love you... me neither"), written initially for Brigitte Bardot (the recording was released only in the seventies), by Gainsbourg and featuring both of them singing, which caused a scandal for its sexual explicitness. Arguably due in part to the publicity it got from being banned by radio stations in Italy, Spain, and the UK, it was a commercial success all over Europe. The song's fame is a result of its salacious lyrics (sung in French) against a background of female moaning and groaning, culminating in an orgasm at the song's conclusion. Birkin took a break from acting in 1971-72, but returned as Brigitte Bardot's lover in Don Juan (or if Don Juan were a woman) in 1973. In 1975, she appeared in Gainsbourg's first film, also entitled Je t'aime... moi non plus, which created a stir for frank examination of sexual ambiguity. For this performance she was nominated for a Best Actress César Award.
Birkin has starred in the Agatha Christie films Death on the Nile and Evil Under the Sun, and recorded several albums, including Baby Alone in Babylone, Amours des Feintes, Lolita Go Home and Rendez-vous. She has obtained in the category Female Artist of the year in France the Victoires de la Musique award in 1992.
She starred in two films by Jacques Doillon — as Anne in La fille prodigue (1981) and as Alma in La pirate (1984, nominated for a César Award). This work led to an invitation from Patrice Chéreau to star on stage in La Fausse suivante by Marivaux at Nanterre. After this, she also began to appear frequently on stage in plays and concerts (in France, Japan, the UK and then the US).
In 1980 she worked with director Herbert Vesely on Egon Schiele Exzess und Bestrafungappearing as the mistress of Austrian artist Egon Schiele played by Mathieu Carrière
Jacques Rivette collaborated with her for Love on the Ground (1983) and La Belle Noiseuse (1991, Nominated Césars best supporting actress). Additionally, she appeared in Merchant Ivory's A Soldier's Daughter Never Cries (1998, also used her song "Di Doo Dah") and Merci Docteur Rey (2002), while Le Divorce's end title song featured her singing "L'Anamour", composed by Serge Gainsbourg.
In 2006, she played Elektra, directed by Philippe Calvario in France.
Jane Birkin's humanitarian interests led her to work with Amnesty International, on immigrant welfare and AIDS issues. Birkin has also visited Bosnia, Rwanda and Palestinian Territories, often working with children. She was awarded an OBE, in 2001, for her services to acting. She has also been awarded the French Ordre National du Mérite.
She has made musical collaborations and duets with artists such as Feist, Beth Gibbons from Portishead, Bryan Ferry, Brian Molko from Placebo, Franz Ferdinand, Manu Chao, Brett Anderson from Suede, Mickey (3d), Françoise Hardy, Cali, The Divine Comedy, The Magic Numbers, Paolo Conte, Beck, Rufus Wainwright, Yann Tiersen, Alain Souchon, Les Negresses Vertes, Johnny Marr from The Smiths, Zazie, MC Solaar, Yosui Inoue, Étienne Daho, Alain Chamfort, Jimmy Rowles, Goran Bregović, Sonny Landreth, The Soundtrack of Our Lives and many others.
Birkin recorded the song "Beauty" on French producer Hector Zazou's 2003 album Strong Currents.
Her image features on the cover art of Have You Fed the Fish? by singer-songwriter Badly Drawn Boy (which features her daughter Charlotte Gainsbourg on backing vocals).
She was married from 1965 until 1968 to John Barry, an English composer who wrote the musical score to the James Bond movies. Their daughter, the photographer Kate Barry, was born in 1967.
She had a passionate and creative relationship with her mentor Serge Gainsbourg — they met on the set of Slogan. They separated in 1980. Their daughter is actress Charlotte Gainsbourg.
In 1982 she gave birth to her third daughter, Lou Doillon, from her relationship with the director Jacques Doillon.

Anita Pallenberg was born in Rome, the daughter of an Italian artist and a German secretary. She became fluent in four languages at an early age and as a teenager, she studied medicine, picture restoration and graphic design. Before settling in London, she lived in Germany, Rome and New York City, where she was involved with the Living Theater (starring in the play Paradise Now, which featured nudity on stage) and Andy Warhol's Factory. She is a naturalised US citizen.
Pallenberg is known for her romantic involvement with Rolling Stones band members Brian Jones, whom she met in 1965 in Munich where she was working on a modelling assignment, and Keith Richards, for whom she left Jones in 1967 whilst on a holiday in Morocco. There were rumours that she also had a brief affair with Mick Jagger during the filming of Performance, although Pallenberg denied the affair in March 2007 when Performance was released on DVD. Pallenberg and Richards had three children, a son born on 10 August 1969 named Marlon, a daughter, Angela (nee Dandelion) born on 17 April 1972 and another boy, Tara, who was born in 1976, but died in his crib only 10 weeks after his birth.
Author A.E. Hotchner mentions Pallenberg's influence on the development and presentation of the Rolling Stones from the late 1960s throughout the '70s. She layed an unusual role in the male-dominated world of rock music in the late 1960s, acting as much more than just a groupie or partner of a band member. Jagger respected her opinion enough that tracks on Beggars Banquet were remixed when Pallenberg criticised them.In the 2002 compilation release of Forty Licks, Pallenberg is credited as singing background vocals on "Sympathy for the Devil". Her interest in the occult was a featured style component that marked the Stones concerts and public presentation throughout the decade that she was Richards' companion.Tony Sanchez's account of his time as Richards' bodyguard and drug dealer mentions Pallenberg's strange spiritual practices:
“ She was obsessed with black magic and began to carry a string of garlic with her everywhere—even to bed—to ward off vampires. She also had a strange mysterious old shaker for holy water which she used for some of her rituals. Her ceremonies became increasingly secret, and she warned me never to interrupt her when she was working on a spell."
