The Rolling Stones, commonly referred to as the world's greatest rock 'n' roll band, epitomize everything that's excessive, lavish, exciting, and powerful about rock music. Now, founding member and bass player Bill Wyman presents an honest and humorous account that serves as a backstage pass to the band's history, from drug busts, to tax exile, to solo careers. Straight from Wyman's huge personal archive, Rolling with the Stones features previously unreleased letters, photographs, memorabilia, and personal journals. With over 2000 photographs, more than 45 beautifully designed tour spreads, song lists from every show, and biographies on each band member, there is no need for any other Stones book to be written. With a brand new jacket and incredible price point, here is the true story of the World's Greatest Rock 'n' Roll band, told by Bill Wyman, founding member of the Stones. Packed with items from his vast personal archive of Stones memorabilia--much of it unpublished until now--this book provides the ultimate backstage pass to four decades of rock 'n' roll history. It's all here: the glamorous and the gritty, the highs and the lows--from the group's bluesy early days to the band's current status as Rock's 'elder statesmen.' This is not just a must-have for every Stones fan, but for anyone who loves rock 'n' roll. |
