'However much you thought you knew about The Stones before you read
it, afterwards you'll know more. It's glittering' - Simon
Napier-Bell 'Special [...] it's brilliant' Johnnie Walker From
Sunday Times bestselling author Lesley-Ann Jones On 12 July 1962,
the Rollin' Stones performed their first-ever gig at London's
Marquee jazz club. Down the line, a 'g' was added, a spark was lit
and their destiny was sealed. No going back. These five white
British kids set out to play the music of black America. They honed
a style that bled bluesy undertones into dark insinuations of
women, sex and drugs. Denounced as 'corruptors of youth' and
'messengers of the devil', they created some of the most thrilling
music ever recorded. Now, their sound and attitude seem louder and
more influential than ever. Elvis is dead and the Beatles are over,
but Jagger and Richards bestride the world. The Stones may be
gathering moss, but on they roll. Yet how did the ultimate
anti-establishment misfits become the global brand we know today?
Who were the casualties, and what are the forgotten legacies? Can
the artist ever be truly divisible from the art? Lesley-Ann Jones's
new history tracks this contradictory, disturbing, granitic and
unstoppable band through hope, glory and exile, into the juggernaut
years and beyond into rock's ongoing reckoning . . . where the
Stones seem more at odds than ever with the values and heritage
against which they have always rebelled. Good, bad and often ugly,
here are the Rolling Stones as never before.
