Jones & Aldred - An excerpt of a song Brian wrote with Ready Steady Go! presenter Michael Aldred.

Audio description: We seemingly hear Brian talking and swearing at the start, followed by Brian playing 12 string acoustic guitar with Michael singing. Michael is then heard talking at the end.

The Stones onstage positions changed in time for the late 1965 North American tour. For that tour, in addition to playing guitar and harmonica, Brian started to play organ onstage as well taking up more room. Bill moved over to Keith's side and shared a mic for backing vocals with him. These band member stage positions remained the same for the rest of the time Brian was in the band. With a few exceptions at NME Poll Winners concerts etc.

The Nick De Caro accordion info first came to light via me asking Andrew about it in 2008. It's not in his books. I have all 4 of his books as readable files, message me if you want them. :)
