And you guys thought the Rolling Stones selling out was a recent thing…

From YouTube’s comments:

Some context: the Stones recorded this *very* early in their career–October 1963. They had only released one single at that time (“Come On”). This was recorded around the same time they recorded the song Lennon & McCartney gave them, “I Wanna Be Your Man”. Anyway, that’s why the Stones weren’t featured in the ad, or even mentioned–they were still pretty obscure. It wouldn’t be until “I Wanna Be Your Man” and especially their first EP were released that they started to be noticed.
