A new, updated edition of Christopher Sandford's classic biography
of the band, The Rolling Stones is a gripping account of the band's
remarkable 60 years at the top of the rock industry. In 1962 Mick
Jagger was a bright, well-scrubbed boy (planning a career in the
civil service), while Keith Richards was learning how to smoke and
to swivel a six-shooter. Add the mercurial Brian Jones (who'd been
effectively run out of Cheltenham for theft, multiple impregnations
and playing blues guitar), the wryly opinionated Bill Wyman and
drummer Charlie Watts, and the potential was obvious. During the
1960s and 70s the Rolling Stones were the polarising figures in
Britain, admired in some quarters for their flamboyance, creativity
and salacious lifestyles, and reviled elsewhere for the same
reasons. Confidently expected never to reach 30, the band is now
celebrating 60 years together with a European tour, Sixty, to mark
the occasion. Of the original line-up, only Jagger and Richards
remain, along with 'new boy' Ronnie Wood, who joined the band in
1975. In The Rolling Stones, Christopher Sandford tells the human
drama at the centre of the Rolling Stones story. Sandford has
carried out interviews with those close to the Stones, family
members (including Mick's parents), the group's fans and
contemporaries - even examined their previously unreleased FBI
files. Like no other book before The Rolling Stones makes sense of
the rich brew of clever invention and opportunism, of talent, good
fortune, insecurity, self-destructiveness, and of drugs, sex and
other excess, that made the Stones who they are.
