The story of the Stones is one of rock and roll excess, myth, legend, colourful
characters and above all high energy rock ’n’ roll. Songwriting duo Mick Jagger
and Keith Richards have been ever-presents and other members have come and
gone, notably Bill Wyman and Brian Jones. Written on a spread-by-spread basis,
Treasures of the Rolling Stones divides the story up carefully decade by decade,
album by album and member by member. From humble beginnings in London’s
suburbs to total global domination and from hardworking sweaty club nights to
multi-million-member audiences, Treasures of the Rolling Stones tells the full,
fascinating story of the band. All of it accompanied by superb contemporary
photographs from many sources, as well as superb rare memorabilia from an
exclusive private collection reproduced on the page.
