"I was impressed by The Stones. They were dressed casually, had
mischief in them and were different to other bands." Terry O'Neill.
In July 1962, a group of young men played a gig at The Marquee Club
on Oxford Street, London. They called themselves 'The Rollin'
Stones' and little did they know they would soon be making music
history. This brilliant new book captures the youth, the times and
the spirit of The Stones' formative early years. And documenting
1963-1965 were two young photographers just starting out in their
careers. Terry O'Neill, aged just 25, had a few years' experience
photographing musicians and knew that this group had the same magic
as another British phenomenon that just recently started to chart,
The Beatles. As the band was starting to record and tour, Gered
Mankowitz came along. His first shoot, the now famous Mason's Yard
session, was so fruitful, Gered was asked to tag along on tour to
America. Gered was a mere 19 when he picked up his camera and
joined the band on stage in 1965. Between these two legendary
photographers, they document the band's beginnings and these
indelible images are forever placed in music's consciousness.The
photography throughout this book is embellished with various
memoires and interviews, celebrating the early days and giving an
inisght into what it must have felt like to go from a small club in
Soho with no record deal to touring the world a few years later
with a number one record. Terry O'Neill and Gered Mankowitz, two of
the most respected, collected and exhibited photographers in the
world were sitting in the front row. There are quotes from Andrew
Loog Oldman, Norman Jopling, Charlie Watts, Mick Jagger, Keith
Richards, and Bill Wyman, full interviews with Terry O'Neill and
Gered Mankowitz, original articles from the Record Mirror (1963),
Evening Standard (1964) and Detroit Free Press (1965), and many
rare and previously unseen photographs and contact sheets are
included.
