Philip Norman - Rolling Stones

chatTALK TO OWNER

In 2012, the Rolling Stones celebrated their fiftieth anniversary. The band's story—a meteoric rise to the top, the Jagger-Richards legal battles, scandals surrounding Marianne Faithfull and Brian Jones, the notorious Altamont concert, groundbreaking hits—represents one of pop culture's greatest legends and most enduring cornerstones. However, such a story—this kind of story especially—requires a precise and steady biographer's hand. Thanks to Philip Norman's thorough research and the trust and cooperation of the musicians, this updated edition is undoubtedly the best book written about the Rolling Stones. It describes in detail the recording of the band's most famous albums, iconic performances, creative disputes, as well as the colorful private lives of the band members and their rise from penniless suburban ruffians to multimillionaire manor lords and gentlemen of leisure. It is a tale of fame and fortune, drugs and sex, revelry and extravagance, about the greatest rock band of all time.
