The story of \u201cJumpin\u2019 Jack Flash\u201d was inspired by Jack Dyer who was Keith Richards\u2019 gardener. When Mick Jagger, who was overnighting at Keith\u2019s home, was awakened to the sound of Dyer\u2019s footsteps, Richards put the blame on \u201cJumpin\u2019 Jack.\u201d The duo penned the song and the band recorded it in April and May of 1968 with Jimmy Miller producing at Olympic Studios. All five original members played on the recording, with bassist Bill Wyman providing Hammond organ, and Richards on bass as well as lead guitar. Richards\u2019 guitar part was famously played entirely on an acoustic through the microphone of a tape recorder for a distorted effect. The opening lyric, \u201cI was born in a crossfire hurricane\u201d refers to Richards being born in Dartford, England during WWII when air raid sirens were a regular occurrence. First released as a single in the UK almost exactly 53 years ago (May 24, 1968) and one week later in the US, \u201cJumpin\u2019 Jack Flash\u201d was a commercial and critical triumph, hitting number one on the UK Singles chart and US\u00a0Cash Box<\/em>\u00a0Top Singles chart. To date, it has been played live more than 1,150 times by the band, making it their most performed song.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWith ‘Jumpin’ Jack Flash’ being among the greatest Rock ‘n Roll singles of all time we knew we had to create a visual that somehow matched the swagger and excitement of the track,\u201d stated music video directors Tom Readdy and Lucy Dawkins of London-based creative design studio Yes Please Productions. \u201cWith that<\/em> guitar riff and Jagger’s exceptional searing vocal we set out to create animations that hit and emphasized every beat, guitar part and syllable sung. The simplicity of the color palette, along with rough, hand drawn elements all come together to create an energetic visual to accompany the joyful rush of adrenaline that is ‘Jumpin\u2019 Jack Flash’.\u201d[\u201cCHILD OF THE MOON\u201d LYRIC VIDEO LINK HERE]<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like its A-Side, \u201cChild of the Moon\u201d was recorded at Olympic Studios with Jimmy Miller and was also written by Jagger and Richards. Lyrically a love letter to the singer\u2019s then-girlfriend, recording artist Marianne Faithfull, the song features saxophone by Brian Jones and is more in line with their recently released psychedelic albums Between the Buttons<\/em> and Their Satanic Majesties Request<\/em> than \u201cJumpin\u2019 Jack Flash,\u201d which points to the more stripped-down direction the Stones would head in with Beggars Banquet<\/em> and Let It Bleed<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tom Readdy and Lucy Dawkins of Yes Please Productions explained, \u201cOur lyric video for \u2018Child Of The Moon\u2019 is inspired by the natural landscape and elements in the promo video for the track from 1968\u00a0directed by Michael Lindsay-Hogg.\u00a0The\u00a0song was unfinished during the sessions for\u00a0Their Satanic Majesties Request<\/em>and often seen as the postscript to the psychedelic era of the band. We leant into this vibe to create \u201860s inspired bespoke illustrations of flowers, leaves and patterns that grow in and around the ornate typeface. This typeface incidentally featured on an original 7″ picture sleeve for ‘Jumpin\u2019 Jack Flash\u2019\/\u2018Child Of The Moon\u2019.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
