Rare. A vivid early account of the Rolling Stones in the recording studio ("you would think there had been a punch-up in the place"), followed by a few quotes from the band (MICK JAGGER: "I give the Stones about another two years"), then what's it like to be on tour with them: "they don't change their clothes. Some theatre managers and stage managers can't believe it at first. But as the time for the Stones to go on stage approaches and they sit around smoking and talking, it begins to dawn on officialdom that they are going on just like that. Long hair and high-heeled boots. Tight pants and jersey shirts. No ties." There are 32 pages in The Rolling Stones, if you include the covers, with more than 50 very good, very evocative black and white photographs by Nicholas Wright (who took the famous cover shot for the Stones' first LP). Still in very good condition overall, well-bound, the staples not rusty, hardly any marks of shelfwear and handling inside. The covers are a little bit more worn and spotted, but considering this publication was clearly produced to cash in on the wild success of the Stones' early UK tours, it's very well-preserved. There's no dates in the publication, but it must have come out in the second half of 1963 or early in 1964. There's a clue in the text as to why Mick Jagger's prediction for the Stones' longevity was so spectacularly wrong: "Just when you're certain there's going to be a riot, it's all over. Inside the auditorium, that is. But in the dressing-room the Stones are panting, excited, jubilant and analytical. They're telling one another where they went wrong and how their act can be improved". Bestandsnummer des Verk�ufers 000797

Anbieterinformationen

Wild & Homeless Books has been trading from 12 South Street, Bridport, Dorset since February 2009. The current mismanagement team, who have been involved with the shop pretty much since opening, have been sitting in the big chair since Bastille Day 2016 and now have about 60 years of book trade experience between them in one form or another. The shop itself is situated on two floors of a listed (and listing) building in Bridport's town square and contains a ridiculous number (according to our surveyor) of secondhand books. We try to carry a good general stock and do not specialise as such, although we're on reasonably good ground when it comes to Railways and Cricket. We are also stockists of Wild Swan railway titles, now being published in Bath by Simon Castens, owner of the Titfield Thunderbolt transport bookshop. We are, by and large, open for business Monday to Saturday between 9.30 and 4.30, and are closed Sundays and Bank Holidays. We are occasionally closed due to ill-health, parenting responsibilities, Test Matches, and the phases of the moon. Please check if travelling specifically to visit. All of this rich pageant is watched over by a larger than life-sized print of Audrey Hepburn and a semi-sentient 1950s valve radio called The Behemoth.
