(Classic Rock) An author claims [the British intelligence agency] MI5 [and the FBI] planned to sabotage the Rolling Stones' career, and the infamous Redlands raid was the result of a carefully-orchestrated plot.

Philip Norman says the British secret service forced a drug dealer to infiltrate band circles with the intention of discrediting Mick Jagger and co, so that they'd fall out of fame.

The police raid on Keith Richards' Redlands home in February 1967 failed to secure the end of the Stones, although Jagger and Richards both spent time in jail as a result of the investigation.
