According to the Rolling Stones - first US edition
by Mick Jagger et. al.
That their longtime band mate Bill Wyman did his own exhaustive Stones
coffee-table book last fall hasn't stopped the other members from doing a
collection of old photos and recollections, too. The snapshots are wonderful
(one of Jagger talking to Chuck Berry, each in a more outrageous '70s getup than
the other, is particularly memorable) and the reminiscences, set up as an oral
history, London slang and all, are engaging as well. Richards recalling postwar
London as "horseshit and coal smoke, mixed with a bit of diesel here and there"
really drives home just how long these guys have been around. Richards's wit is
razor sharp, and the band's collective knowledge about old blues, R&B and jazz
is awesome.
Book is red cloth, blind-stamped on the front with title stamped on the spine in
black; coffee table book; 8 1/2" x 11.25".
