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.
