Nikki Sudden lit out of Little England to live the Keith Richards cliche, dying seven years ago, at 49, in a New York hotel.
He bequeathed a treasury of sloppy garage Stones riffs, decadent dirges, beautifully bent guitar breaks and challengingly wayard vocals, via a variety of fly-by-night labels. These six, rarity riddled, discs selectively sculpt Sudden’s chaotic catalogue into a coherent case for cannonisation.
The romantically reflective Green Shield Stamps is a Wild Horses for seventies suburban Solihull and a posthumous pinnacle.
