ALS signed “Brian,” one page both sides, 7 x 9, no date, but circa 1968. Letter to Linda Keith beginning “Dearest, darling Linda.” In full: “I'm presently very smashed. I have to tell you, we (Ossie Clark and I) were talking about people who should do the Eamon Andrews show and after suggesting a few really groovy people to fuck Eamon's head up, Ossie suggested ‘How about Linda Keith to really floor him’ Wow! How people dig you. I'm getting two houses together Linda, a good scene, one in town & one in the country—please be with me, I'm so lonely by myself. I need you so badly & I love you so much, please understand what fucked us up before, a terrible combination of events. Please let's start again. PLEASE MARRY ME. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE.” In very good condition, with intersecting folds and creases, scattered light staining, not affecting the legibility, and some wrinkling. Provenance: Christies, New York, 2007.
As Brian Jones’s substance abuse spiraled out of control, his place in the Rolling Stones became less and less clear. In March 1967, after hitting girlfriend Anita Pallenberg while on tour in Marrakesh, Jones found himself hospitalized and alone. Pallenberg left him for bandmate Keith Richards, and in response, Jones began dating Richards’s ex-girlfriend Linda Keith, further damaging the already strained relationship. Both heavily addicted to drugs and explosive in temperament, they made an intense and destructive couple. Well-known among musicians, Linda Keith played a major role in discovering Jimi Hendrix and also served as the inspiration for the song ‘Ruby Tuesday.’ Retelling a conversation with quintessential Swingin’ Sixties designer and fellow party animal Ossie Clark about getting Keith on the popular Eamonn Andrews show, Jones gushes over Linda. This rambling letter, written towards the end of his time with the Stones, illustrates the passion and desperation that characterized his final years. An intimate look at the private thoughts of a musical legend.
