Andrew Loog Oldham: Meaning (information, definition, explanation, facts)

Andrew Loog Oldham (born 1944) is a British rock and roll producer, impresario and author. He was best known as the manager of The Rolling Stones in the 1960s, taking a flamboyant style inspired by his role model and friend Phil Spector. With a flair for publicity, he led the Stones to international fame. Problems with drug abuse led to the sale of his interest in the Stones to Allen Klein in 1966. He would then set up Immediate Records and take over management of The Small Faces. After they split up, he helped put together Humble Pie, featuring Steve Marriott of the Small Faces.

Oldham wrote a biography of ABBA in the 1970s and two autobiographies, Stoned (1998) and Stoned 2 (2001).
