In 1994, James Karnbach and Carol Bernson, Stones fans extraordinaire, set out to chronicle three and a half decades of perhaps the greatest rock 'n' roll band ever known. Incensed by the jumble of contradictions, rumours and mythological truisms perpetuated by the media machine, Karnbach and Bernson have sifted through a mountain of information and misinformation to produce a definitive, comprehensive guide to the Rolling Stones - a book which no fan can do without.
In these pages you will find:
• A complete sessionography and discography, including a whole chapter on bootleg recordings
• A complete list of concerts and tours, including dates, itineraries, venues, setlists, opening acts and notes
• A chfonology of the group and its members, from Bill Wyman's birth in 1936 to the
present, covering all aspects of their lives, from platinum disks to drug busts
• Comprehensive listings of films, TV appearances and promotional films and videos
• Rare photographs, album covers and illustrations of Stones memorabilia
• Foreword by former Stones member Mick Taylor
So, whether your heart's been with the Stones since the '60s, or you're a new fan from the '90s who's just gone wild over the group, you will find between these covers everything you could possibly wish to know about the music and the lives of the world's most-celebrated and long-lived rock group.
