Bill Wyman (bassist, Rolling Stones) : Radio was vital for promotion, you know. So then - what was there on radio? There was Saturday Club which we tried to get on, there were a few lunch time things, Easy Beat - but I don't remember we ever did that, you see - and that was it, really. I mean there really was no possibility to promote yourself, so we had to kind of go for what was going and Joe Loss had a lunch time... there was a facility there, you see. There was on every Joe Loss Band show, Lunch Time, it was like Worker's Playtime kind of thing, you know - just that's what it was and we did that three or four times, I think.
