Jumpin’ Jack Flash went on sale

June 8, 1968
The Rolling Stones released Jumpin’ Jack Flash on this date.

This was intended for Beggar’s Banquet, but they left it off the album and released it as a single because The Stones were very pleased with the results. One year later on this date, founding member Brian Jones quit (some say ‘pushed out‘) The Rolling Stones.

He died a month later, at age 27.
