The popularity of The Rolling Stones in the public translated by local performers created a new translation of The Rolling Stones. From the 1970s to the 1990s, local bands covered The Rolling Stones songs or were inspired by them. This ecosystem was supported by the media, especially Aktuil and Generasi Muda (GMR) / Young Generation (YG) radio, which had special programs, music shows and The Rolling Stones fan groups.

Harry wanted to re-record songs from the two bands with compositions that combined western and traditional music. FYI, Harry is known for his experimental work but started his music career through The Rolling Stones cover band, Batu Karang in the early 1960s. This album was never recorded.
The Rollies
The Rollies was formed from the idea of Deddy Sutansyah who was later better known as Deddy Stanzah. In mid-1964 Deddy invited a drummer, Iwan Krisnawan, and guitarist, Tengku Zulian Iskandar Madian, from the group Delimas and Delly from the group Genta Istana. Deddy then chose the name Rollies as the new identity of his band. The myth is, The Rollies is an abbreviation of The Rolling Stones and The Hollies.
The Rollies’ fame began to crumble. Three of its personnel were involved in the use of psychotropic drugs including Deddy Stanzah who later resigned from the band and Iwan Krisnawan died in 1974.
