The Rolling Stones In the Beginning: With unseen images

Description

"The photographs are amazing - the Stones are still practically children, messing around, pulling faces and writing the odd song." GQ "The finest single collection of Stones photographs I have ever seen" Bill Wyman NEW, EXPANDED EDITION CONTAINING NEVER-BEFORE-SEEN PHOTOGRAPHS. In 1965 the Rolling Stones were big and about to be huge, when Bent Rej was given unprecedented access to a year in the eye of the rock 'n' roll storm, accompanying the band on its first full European outing: the Satisfaction tour. The Rolling Stones In the Beginning is Rej's collection of more than 300 intimate photographs of the band on stage, on the road and at home, documenting a year in the life of the Rolling Stones as they enjoyed their first taste of popular success. Long a fan favourite, this brand new edition offers an even closer look into the making of music history with images recently unearthed from Rej's archives.

Bent Rej is an internationally renowned photographer, most notably for his work with some of the most iconic musicians of the 1960s, including The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, The Who and The Kinks. A young photographer for a Danish newspaper, Bent was assigned to cover The Rolling Stones on their 1965 tour of Europe. He soon became firm friends with the band, and found himself part of their inner circle - granting him unprecedented access to life inside one of the biggest bands on the planet as they grew in fame and stature.

The photographs are amazing - the Stones are still practically children, messing around, pulling faces and writing the odd song. And just on the cusp of conquering the world. * GQ *
