  A few months ago we were discussing Billy Fury, a pre-Beatles British
rocker who I believe was from Liverpool. Specifically, the topic was one
particular album by him called something like The Sound of Fury, which
was considered in retrospect a classic of pre-Fab Four British pop. I
recalled that Keith Richards mentioned the album, though not by name, in
a Rolling Stone interview in 1971, but had to quote it from memory.
However, just today I came across that very quote, so here it is
verbatim, just for the record:
  "... Billy Fury, who did one fantastic album that I've lost. He got it
together once. One really good album. Songs he'd written, like people do
now, he got some people he knew to play together and did it."
  Since The Sound of Fury seems clearly to have been his best, I'm sure
that's the one Keith is talking about here. Maybe one of these days I'll
run across it in a used record store.
