It would be good to have this draft approved since I've added this to Wyman's page:

In February 1986, Wyman alleged to author Bill German that Jagger tried several times to throw him out of the band. But German chose not to report this in his Beggars Banquet newsletter at that time given the poor state of relations within the band.

Source: German, Bill (2009). Under Their Thumb: How a Nice Boy from Brooklyn Got Mixed Up with the Rolling Stones and Lived to Tell about It. Villard Books. p.107. ISBN 9781400066223.

I've added this to the Undercover page:

When Undercover was released, Bill German's then five-year-old Beggars Banquet newsletter was declared to be the official Rolling Stones newsletter, and the album included instructions on how to subscribe.

And I've made some additional references to Beggars Banquet on the Jagger article and the Rolling Stones article. M.mk (talk) 19:35, 28 May 2026 (UTC)
This proposed page should be published in light of this one:
