Bill Wyman has worked in the London borough of Chelsea on-and-off
since joining the Rolling Stones in 1962, and has lived in the area
since 1982. Over the past few years, Bill has walked every street
of his beloved neighbourhood, photographing anything unusual that
caught his eye: bridges, churches, pubs, shops, houses, monuments,
decorative wall plaques, blue historical plaques, statues, weather
vanes, front doors, street signs and coal hole covers. Alongside
his photos, Bill began to research the area thoroughly – its
history, its stories, and its residents. Bill Wyman's Chelsea is
the result of this work: a comprehensive and informative guide to a
London borough steeped in culture and history, as seen through the
personal and affectionate lens of a long-standing resident, who
himself plays a part in the history of the area. Complete with
walking tour itineraries, maps, an A-Z of streets, historical
information, over 300 of Bill’s photos and knowledge from an
insider; Bill has produced what can confidently be called the
‘Master Book on Chelsea’.
As soon as Bill Wyman was given a camera as a young boy, he quickly
developed a passion for photography. After joining what would
become the world's greatest rock 'n' roll band, Wyman continued his
hobby. When he didn't have his bass, he had his camera. The result
is an arresting, insightful and often poignant collection of
photographs, showing his exclusive inside view of the band. From
travelling to relaxing, backstage and on, Stones From the Inside is
a unique view captured by a man who was there, every step of the
way. Along with the images of the band at work and play, Wyman
includes remarkable images of those along for the ride, from John
Lennon, Eric Clapton, David Bowie and Iggy Pop to John Belushi and
Dan Aykroyd. To accompany his photographs, Wyman offers up
wonderful insights, anecdotes and behind-the-photo stories, giving
all us a front-row seat and backstage pass to what it was like to
be there, as music history was made as a member of The Rolling
Stones. Limited to just 300 copies, this slipcased edition is
accompanied by a print.
