  • Giorgio Gomelsky est pour certains de ses admirateurs l'un des personnages non-musiciens les plus importants dans l'histoire du rock. Personnage hors du commun né en Géorgie (URSS), ses parents fuient le stalinisme et il est élevé en France (sa mère est française), en Italie et en Suisse. Il parcourt ensuite l'Europe en stop avant de se stabiliser à Londres en 1955. (fr)
  • Giorgio Gomelsky ist ein einflussreicher US-amerikanischer Impresario, Musik-Manager und Produzent. Er war der Besitzer des berühmten Crawdaddy Clubs, welcher für die Rolling Stones seinerzeit die Basis bildete. Außerdem war Gomelsky der erste Manager der Stones, bis er von dem redegewandten jungen Andrew Loog Oldham abgelöst wurde. Nach den Rolling Stones, konnte er die Yardbirds davon überzeugen die neue Hausband seines Crawdaddy Clubs zu werden und wurde auch deren Manager und Produzent bis in das Jahr 1966 hinein. Er besitzt immer noch die Rechte an den Yardbird-Songs aus dieser Zeit. Im Jahre 1967, gründete er das Plattenlabel Marmalade Records, welche Künstler wie Julie Driscoll, Brian Auger und The Trinity beherbergte. Das Label wurde allerdings urplötzlich von Gomelsky unter geheimnisvollen Umständen geschlossen. Manche sagen, er hätte eines Tages einfach die Türen geschlossen und wäre verschwunden, ohne die Künstler oder sonstwen zu benachrichtigen. Giorgio war auch an der Karriere folgender Künstler und Bands behilflich: The Soft Machine, Daevid Allen und Gong and Magma. (de)
