It's 50 years since the Rolling Stones' first gig at the Marquee Club in London, and the celebrations to mark their golden anniversary are set to be huge. This book is a key part of those celebrations. Introduced by each member of the band, this is their story of the last half century, told through many rare and unseen photos, contact sheets and ephemera, from beyond the band's own archive. Packed with content, stunningly designed (including a wonderfully shiny cover), and beautifully manufactured, this will be the definitive illustrated book on the seemingly unstoppable band. *Also appeared in July Buyer's Notes*
