28 January 2014 - The Stone Roses For Sandro, Paris
From 28 January 2014 - CLASH FASHION (Clash Magazine/Website)
Lea Seydoux is a fan and Edie Campbell stars in the latest campaign, but for all its chic connotations, Sandro is seemingly unafraid to collate ideas with those whose influence falls from a different tree. Hence last year’s skate collection with photographer Hugh Holland, and their forthcoming four-piece range featuring artwork from The Stone Roses, launching next month.
Founded in Paris in 1984 – five years prior to the release of the band’s debut album – for SS14 Sandro have come up with a capsule collection that references the self titled album’s cover art, painted by guitarist John Squire. As if to further contextualise the collection, ‘Bye Bye Badman’ (as the original piece is called), depicts lemons, inspired by the mass riots in France in 1968; they nullified the effects of tear gas.
Said lemons are showcased on white long sleeve jerseys, while single artwork covers T-shirts and the band’s name runs down a sweatshirt, each in keeping with the 90s trend that continues to populate stores.

27 January 2015 Tuesday - Ian Brown testifies at the Fred Talbot sexual abuse court case in Minshull Street Crown Court, Minshull Street, Manchester
Notes: Ian aged 51 Ian Brown testified against a former teacher at Altrincham Grammar, Fred Talbot, who was found guilty of sexually abusing pupils in the 1970s. Ian gave evidence in 2015 and later in 2017 too.
27 January 2015 Tuesday 15:52 - The Independent, Adam Withnall article:
The Stone Roses singer Ian Brown has given evidence in court to describe how he was taught to masturbate by the TV weatherman Fred Talbot, now on trial for sex offences. The 51-year-old frontman stunned the jury at Minshull Street Crown Court when he was revealed as a prosecution witness today. Brown said that Talbot, 65, taught him biology during his time at Altrincham Grammar School between 1974 and 1979. And saying that he had “nothing to gain” from lying and was supporting his classmates, the musician claimed Talbot showed children a video which he later “later realised was probably a gay porn film”.
Talbot denies 10 offences of indecent assault on five boys while working as a teacher in the late 1960s and early 1980s before his TV career took off.
Recalling one alleged incident when he and his fellow classmates were 11 years old, Brown said Mr Talbot “asked all the class if any of us had ever masturbated”.
“He went on to explain how to masturbate, how you should masturbate and the following lesson he asked who had masturbated.”
Neil Usher, prosecuting, asked if there was any response from the boys. "Nervous giggles," Ian Brown said. "He wanted to know who was successful in the masturbation. He asked boys to raise the hand."
Ian said in further biology lessons, his teacher would approach the boys who had raised their hands and have "private words" with them. "I can remember sitting there wondering, 'What is he saying to them?' "They were all the same age but they were a foot bigger than us."
Suzanne Goddard QC, defending, cross-examined the singer about biology classes and suggested part of Mr Talbot's responsibility as a teacher was sex education. Ian said: "I doubt that's on the curriculum." Asked why he had not told his parents the singer said: "It was 1974. I was 11 and the teachers ruled with an iron rod. It would have been an embarrassment to tell my parents things like that." The lawyer suggested that once the singer knew Mr Talbot was being investigated he may have looked back at the sex education classes in a different light. Ian responded "Is that what you are suggesting? Suggest on."
On a separate occasion, the singer said Talbot took the class into a room with a projector and showed them a film “of a guy walking into a room dressed in denims, sits on bed, takes trousers down and masturbates”. He said the film was “about three minutes long” and that “it was only a few years later I realised it was probably a gay porn film”, adding: “I realised it was wrong to show us that film.”
Brown told the court that seeing Talbot on TV later became a “daily reminder of what he had done to me and the other boys”. The weatherman was a regular feature of ITV’s This Morning show, famous for presenting from a floating weather map in Liverpool’s Albert Dock. The trial continues.
From February 2016 - Q Magazine: ''...Tuesday, 27 January 2015, Ian Brown was called to take the stand in Manchester Crown Court. At the age of 51 he was no stranger to The Law...''...Weatherman Fred Talbot was the latest disgraced TV celebrity to be arrested for historical sexual offence allegations. To Brown he had once been simply “Mr Talbot”, science teacher at Altrincham Grammar School For Boys where the singer started his first year as an 11 year old in 1974. Under oath, he told the court how Talbot not only showed his class a gay porn film on a Supere8 projector in a backroom but also set masturbation as a homework assignment. Talbot’s defence did everything they could to discredit Brown as a witness, calling him “rude and unpleasant" and suggesting his memories were a fabricated fantasy. “Suggest on," replied Brown, “you’re the one being paid to defend him.” Talbot was eventually found guilty on two counts and sentenced to five years. For Brown, this was more than vindication. After his own brief imprisonment in 1998 he would repeatedly remind journalists that his had been the same custodial period also given to Gary Glitter for possessing over 4000 images of child pornography. By assisting the prosecution of another sex offender, Brown wasn’t only, as he insisted, helping the victims of his old teacher, but settling a score against the legal system itself. This was the people’s outlaw, finally exerting control over the scales of justice which had too often tipped against him. Revenge, Ian Brown-style...'' ''...friend, drummer and fellow Altrincharn Grammar pupil Simon Wolstencroft. “He's never afraid to stand up for what he believes in. Ian was always like that. He sticks to his guns...''

And a live LP too before that. John: A funk LP? I don’t intend making a funk record, personally. I’ve got another album almost written, I made a list of songs up yesterday actually. Reni: Look, if the next one takes as long, I’ll have my solo LP out first.
From 24 March 2016, 11:19 - Radiox Website:...Reni was caught outside Paul Epworth's studios in North London this week. The rumours surrounding The Stone Roses recording a third album have reignited this week, after the band and their gear was seen leaving Paul Epworth's famous The Church Studios in Crouch End.

From 20 May 2016 NME Magazine:...2016 - at his plush north London studios The Church in late March. It was here that NME collared an upbeat Ian Brown, who told us the sessions were going ''like a dream''. Ian Brown said ''We'll just keep writing and if it's our standard, we'll go.'' he said, adding 'We'll ride it until the wheels fall off, like we did last time...'. Chris Coghill (Friend of Mani and actor who starred in 2012 Stone Roses' related film Spike Island) said: ...They'd been at the studio in Crouch End for the last few weeks so I knew they were recording, but I was still sat there like a schoolkid listening to the radio. I spoke to Ian about it after the Finsbury Park gig (in 2013) - I asked him what the new material was sounding like. He said 'Fucking Top.'.

All For One (Prodigy Remix) / All For One (Unplugged) / All For One (Funk Master Flex’s Super Scratch Mix) / Beautiful Thing (Monitor Mix)
Notes: Apparently several mixes were made during the sessions but none have been released or leaked.
From 20 May 2016 NME Magazine: Dave Haslam (ex-Hacienda DJ) said: There was studio time booked a while ago but it wasn't used, and even though the band had always wanted to record new material, the timing was never quite right - they've all got busy lives. So the album was always going to come later rather than sooner. There's long been a creative tension between Ian and John...

He didn't want it to stop. The last time I spoke to him he was telling me they'd just gotten back together again for the gigs this summer and he sounded really happy. But I still told him, ‘Don’t worry, Ian. If it goes wrong, you’ve always got your own songs.’ He could have another massive tune again tomorrow if he wanted. I know he could.”

25 February 2016 - NME interview T-In The Park festival director Geoff Ellis. From NME Blog Larry Bartleet wrote: T In The Park Boss On Learning From 2015's Failures, Booking The Stone Roses, And That Guy In The Tent Have you heard from the Stone Roses how they're prepping? "Not directly, no, but I know that they've been in the studio and everything, I think they keep things quite close to their chest, but it's all exciting." How did you book them? "They've always been strong in Scotland, they've headlined here once before and we had them play Glasgow Green which sold out in 30 minutes for 50,000 tickets, so when I heard that they were gonna do a handful of dates this year, and that they were gonna do shows at Man City and they'd consider doing a Scottish show, immediately I'm like, 'we definitely want them'. They were the first band we announced. "It's great to have them as the first name on the team sheet really. They were one of the first bands I booked as a concert promoter, I put them on at Middlesex Poly in London and they were fantastic at that gig, there were about 150 people there and Bob Stanley came along to review it and said, 'This band are the future of the music industry in Britain' – or words to that effect – and then the band exploded just after that. The rest is history. I just love them."

22 July 2016 - Beautiful Thing Vinyl U.K. Release Date
Beautiful Thing
Producer: Paul Epworth
Notes: The song was initially available to stream on Youtube from 09 June 2016. 6,000 Pressings went on sale as a Limited Edition Vinyl Release. The track was also available as a download too. The vinyl was scheduled for 01 July 2016 but was delayed due to the vinyl pressings.
11 August 2016 - Stone Roses offered a full refund on Beautiful Thing due to a mix up in limited numbers. Fans who bought a limited edition 12-inch version of the track could get their £6.99 back after Universal Records admitted descriptions of the item had been “misleading.” Universal advertised the one-track vinyl single as being limited to 5000 copies, but later admitted 6000 copies were actually pressed.
Universal said: “This item was inaccurately advertised as being limited to 5000 units. The vinyl single was manufactured to accommodate all territories and the UK allocation for this was 5000 units, but a total of 6000 units were manufactured globally. “We appreciate that this was misleading and apologise for this miscommunication. “The vinyl is still very in demand but should you wish to return your copy and have a refund for your purchase, please simply email storesupport@umusic.com quoting your order number and we will issue you the return details and issue a full refund, including postage on the item. “Once again we would like to apologise for any inconvenience caused.”

2017 - Ian Brown testifies again at the ongoing Fred Talbot sexual abuse court case.
Notes: In 2015 and 2017, Ian Brown testified against a former teacher at Altrincham Grammar, Fred Talbot, who was found guilty of sexually abusing pupils in the 1970s.
2017 - Ian Brown in court appealing a driving ban.
Notes: ''Ian Brown faced disqualification under the totting up procedure after being caught doing 37mph in a 30mph zone in his Lexus. But his claim it would stop him rehearsing and helping parents George, 81, and Jean, 79, hit a chord in court. Brown’s lawyer Paul Reddy told magistrates the star’s parents, who live eight miles away from his home in Lymm, Cheshire, relied on their son. Mr Reddy said: “They are both elderly and immobile. “It falls to Mr Brown to look after them. “He spends the days doing errands, doing their shopping.” He added: “He is rehearsing in the middle of nowhere and is one of four who need to be there. “At the very least it would inconvenience these people.” Stockport JPs gave Brown three points, bringing him to 12, but did not ban him after agreeing the multi-millionaire might suffer “exceptional hardship”. Brown smiled when told he must pay a £200 fine and £150 following his guilty plea. Last night road safety campaigners rapped the sentence. Brake spokesman Jack Kushner said: “It makes a mockery of the system if drivers who rack up 12 points aren’t banned.”

There was two VIP passes. Both includes Made Of Stone art surrounded by a white border, 'The Stone Roses VIP' text and on the other side stretched Made Of Stone art with 'The Stone Roses' central text and the white box. The other Made Of Stone VIP pass uses a negative of the artwork but the white border and text remains.

A unqiue '24 June 2017 Hampden Park' 'Blue Lemon' shirt design was on sale from the official merchandise stall. Steve Mason was on stage first.
Before the band came onstage a piper played a verse each of Scotland The Brave and Flower Of Scotland.
Apparently the stadium bowl did not favour the band's sound.
During the show Ian Brown said ''Don't Be Said It's Over...Be Happy It Happened'' "“Don’t be sad it’s over, be happy you were there to see it”". A quote not too disimilar to Dr. Seuss': 'Don’t cry because it’s over. Smile because it happened.'.
At the end of the set Ian sang a few lines from Beautiful Thing accapella. ''Baby it's a beautiful thing, so I say goodbye...'' The studio recording of Beautiful Thing was played through the P.A. system after.
As the group embraced on stage, Reni and Ian avoid each other.
Deemed as the final Stone Roses show. A friend of my dads, who knew Ian Brown, said this would be the final show back in early 2017. He also said Ian Brown had plans to record a new solo album around this time too.
Sam Wollaston interview with John Squire 16 September 2019: Is that really it for the Roses? “Yeah,” he says. How is it with Ian? They had a pact when they reformed not to talk about all that, he says. “And I’m going to honour that.” Will he be coming to the opening of the show? “No.”...
See 2014-2017 Media for reviews.

Notes: From reverb.com "...Fittingly, Mani’s collection of basses and amps reflects the disparate elements of his sound and includes classics like a Rickenbacker 4005 and an Epiphone Jack Casady Signature—basses capable of providing thump and definition. With the launch of his official Reverb Shop next week, Mani, in conjunction with Denmark Street Guitars, is set to sell a number of instruments and amplifiers used on recordings and tours with The Stone Roses and during his time with Primal Scream. Highlights include:
A Rickenbacker 4005 Bass Guitar (used throughout Mani's time with the Stone Roses as a backup for the infamous Pollock Paint Spattered 4005 and in the studio)
A Fender Bassman head and cab used on the recent singles, "All for One" and "Beautiful Thing."
Mesa Boogie heads and cab used on Second Coming album and '95-'96 tour.
An Epiphone Jack Casady bass (used in the Roses reunion tour including their performance at Heaton Park in Manchester.)
A Fender acoustic bass used as a warmup instrument on the last (2016-2017) tour.
A Rickenbacker 3005 (played towards the end of the Stone Roses and during the early days of Primal Scream.)
A studio-used Mosrite bass (Wood effect with black pickguard and pick ups).
Gibson EB-3 Bass (used in the Stone Roses for the Second Coming Tour. The back of this bass features artwork by Mani.)
