The fame and success achieved by the Rolling Stones over their 60-plus year career are unparalleled. Their most famous riffs and catchiest lyrics are indelibly etched into our collective memory. With their impressive presence both on and off stage, the Stones set the standard for how a rock band should sound, pose, experiment, and behave.
They were the first to instinctively realize that appearance was just as important as music and that photography played a vital role in promoting that image. “Clothes and hair are always impeccable,” describes writer Lucy Sante. “They played themselves, but with such consistent finesse that you knew they were extremely aware of the camera and how they would look in photographs.”
It is no surprise that many of the greatest photographers in the medium’s history wanted to capture their image. This edition, produced in close collaboration with the band, captures their remarkable story and incredibly cool way of life in over 500 pages of photographs and graphics, collected from archives around the world. The unprecedented access to the same archives of the Rolling Stones in New York and London adds an equally exceptional, more private side to their story.
For Mick, Keith, Charlie, and Ronnie, this is and has been their official photographic archive.
