Andrew Loog Oldham
Oldham was a publicist for
The Beatles before working for agent
Eric Easton, with whom he became joint manager of The Rolling
Stones in April 1963.
Modelling himself closely on Phil
Spector, he showed a flair
for publicity and projected the Stones as the group parents loved
to hate.
He later became sole manager of the group and is credited
with production of their earlier records.
He stopped working with the group in 1967 after setting up his
own record company, Immediate, which recorded The
Nice, The Small
Faces and Chris Farlowe.
Immediate went bankrupt in 1970.
