The deeply researched book offers a staggering and complete new view to the whole career of the Rolling Stones from their very early days at dawn of the 60’s, when the future band members, as many teenagers of that time, found themselves caught by the new, exciting wind blowing from America called rock’n’roll, to the current days corporate mega-tours across the world.
After the introduction based on the band’s performances at the Super Bowl and the free concert in Rio de Janeiro, the opening part describes how the band was formed, from the hard early days striving to get gigs, to the arrival of Andrew Oldham, the young, flamboyant PR-man who became their shrewd manager and producer. The work is both new and unique as it covers the Rolling Stones history album by album, or CD by CD, as we say these days, from their first one released back in 1964 to the latest “A Bigger Bang”. For each album the author has provided dates of the recording sessions, the studios, the producers, the sound engineers, the tracks including the unreleased ones, the musicians other than the Rolling Stones themselves and how the records did in both the American and British charts. Tours accompanying the record releases are also deeply covered, each one with dates, venues, set lists and supporting acts. The book is a journey into the times and music that made the soundtrack of our lives.
