More about the “Beautiful Delilah” bootleg release from the fine AllMusic web site:  “

“Beautiful Delilah is one of the classics of vinyl bootleg legend. One of the earliest Trade Mark of Quality releases, for many years it ranked among that select handful of ubiquitous discs whose familiarity gave them an almost quasi-legitimate status among collectors and mom'n'pop store owners. Certainly the sound quality was generally good enough to rival any official archive releases of the period (pitifully few though they were), while the nature of the material -- all culled from vintage BBC sessions -- offered an exclusivity which defined all that a good bootleg should be. Between October 1963 and September 1965, the Stones recorded 13 sessions for BBC radio, five for the now legendary Saturday Club, and it is these which comprise the heart of this album. Indeed, two of the sessions, from April and June 1964, are complete. Also included are two tracks (of five) from an October 1963 broadcast, and four (of five) from September 1965, plus a closing "Jumping Jack Flash" taken from Top of the Pops. Only one broadcast, from February 1964, is missing altogether, but this still renders Beautiful Delilah one of the most cohesive studies of the subject yet produced. Too many Stones bootlegs, after all, simply hijack BBC material for their own dubiously documented ends; others mix, match, and hack off intros in the hope of creating new takes from the fakes. Beautiful Delilah serves everything up as it should be served, and if anyone has ever asked how the Rolling Stones sounded at their primal, blues-wailing peak, this is all the answer they could ever require. They sounded great.”
