Police in Sussex were handed new information connected to the musician's untimely death 40 years ago.
Mr Jones, was found dead at the bottom of a swimming pool at a house in Cotchford farm, Hartfield, East Sussex.
An inquest recorded a verdict of death by misadventure but speculation continued that he was murdered.
A spokesman for Sussex police said the force had been handed documents connected with Jones's death, prompting the review.
But he added it was too early to launch a fresh investigation.
He added: ''These papers will be examined by Sussex Police, but it is too early to comment at this time as to what the outcome will be.''
Jones, who was 27 when he died, was a founding member of the Rolling Stones.

It was that builder wot dun it.
But really, they're all dead now anyways, sorta pointless.........
Now I have Psychic TV's 'Godstar' stuck in my head.
Pretty sure the outcome will be that he is still dead.
plus, brian was a fucking loser.
no way, brian was the coolest stone - and was responsible for their blues sound
if brian were alive he'd have been the prominent stones guitarist and keith would have been ronnie woods in the background
This reminds me that there was a fat version of Ron Wood in my dream last night. Probably a sign that eating a large pizza just before retiring is a poor strategy.
brian had already been kicked out though, and mick taylor as his replacement was the best thing that happened to the band
brian always looked like a massive idiot too. see one+one or rock'n'roll circus.
I feel sorry for him in One Plus One.
His ability to be a cunt is pretty evident from that Stanley Booth book, from memory. Still, band politics can get pretty cruel.
NEVER! Never again would they be able to repeat the relentless awesomeness of the first LP, or the retarded psych-pop of Satanic Majesties. Mick Taylor introduced the boring bar-room bullshit to the Rolling Stones, and they got stuck with it ever since.
Exactly, Brian was an innovator
How anyone could prefer boring Mick Taylor over Brian Jones is beyond me!
it was his band!
also used to beat his girlfriends. end of story.
god... i ain't condoning it, but so many muso's have been guilty of that
wouldnt he be a pile of liquid by now?
yeah the builder did it. haven't you seen 'stoned'? that proves it
How anyone could prefer boring Mick Taylor over Brian Jones is beyond me!
Well they did record most of their best work in the Mick Taylor period - Sticky Fingers, Exile, Let it Bleed... I don't think there's a huge correlation between these classic albums and Mick Taylor joining the band however.
Was he the founding member of rock's ''dead at 27'' club?
yeah look mondotopus or monotonous or whatever ya name is..
the times changed altamont sort of ended hippie psych shit/straight rock n blues became more the vine as social changes changed everything again. Im not saying one is better than the other, why should one say that dude? It's like saying ya know 1966 is better than 1972. It aint neccessarily so. I mean the stones changed wth the times, etc..go watch 'miss you' etc ha.. It's just you know you rant some kid rant about the stones and we know the stones dude. we all lived stones music and lived the years in rehash. I mean what is your point? It's as boring as batshit this rant about da awesomenes of brian jones stones, yeah it was awesome like jimi and the rest of em but when they all died dude things changed/ look I know it's hard ya got the young man blues. that's cool but like chill and apprciate the stones and a holistic thing. ya know mick taylor did a fucking great job. he is cool ya know. part of the thing is they could change and still be cool. Floyd did it as well moving from Syd to the prog floyd. It's just the way it went..
stop being so fucking totalitarian. It's like some of you melbourne dudes put on this gigantic act where ya live a particular thing it feels comfortable like a good pair of jeans and dude it is man. but dude ya know ya gotta keep moving on/// peace.
hey guys, stay away. the 60s and 70s belong to angelic. he lived that shit, maan.
Hmmm is there some connection with Charlie leaving !
haha nah he's like lecturing us on da fucking stones. OMG FUCK LAME. and then he rides my back like some fucking hipster dickhead without a clue
dude needs to shutup basically. teahc me about the stones teach us all. shut up//
what are you on about? it's just like, opinions, man.
I know. I just never respond to mondotop whatever his name is, and he always is like wanting a chat so I thought this was a good thread to wind him up on.
peace but
What??????
Not Watt. That would be a pun. Has he left?
In every aspect of music it totally is.

you are a high quality reamer. nothing more. oh god dude just fuck back to high school where this lame rambling is coming from you boomer loving 1966 veteran you.

hahaha, the hippy got mad.
You should probably cool off by writing a shit song about your experiences on the internet
i like the early stones. exile on main street bores me. it actually hit me the other day - satanic majesties' request is the only album of theirs where i don't skip past any crap tracks.
hippy? you stupid cunt. you shouldn't believe what you read on the intertards cockwash.
Hahahahahaha.
matt church, you should probably get your aggression out on the internet rather than beating on your family.
I won dickweed. so go pack a bong and get over it. finish high school or UNI and get some cultural experiences. live a little. love a little. watch some elvis movies.
just shut up. you are as dumb as the shit in yr arse.

You are so wise matt church. You totally haven't wasted your life shitting out terrible albums.
so what. the kids were more important. I'll see if I can get up and running again. But really don't try and reconcile. I PM'd someone about the abuse and slander. not good enough and I won't take it.
Only the last few years of it.
...says the man who just called someone ''anal wash''.
ok I'm shit. so what.
maybe I can get better now I aint all baby mode baby daddy. we'll see. maybe not. I'm old. still baby records are cool and I aint ashamed because well little kids mum it's all pretty cute.
