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. Modeling 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. |
