Hey fanks Mick&Keith....Rough Guide do a good job
on a lot of their publications...will track it down upon release



ROCKMAN

It's already released - in the UK at least. I saw it by chance here well over a month ago and bought a copy. It's quite well done.

I got mine last week and I got a bit disappointed that it was no mention on the websites section to IORR. Beside that its quite OK

Ta Beast ... will find....

Yes - I noticed that as well and was also dismayed. Thanks for the reminder because I had meant to write to them and point out that grave omission! Maybe then they'll include it in the next edition.

Picked up the Rough Guide yesterday and flipped through it excitedly. My eyes landed on Page 290, in the section titled "The Stones in Print & On Screen." The entry on Ladies and Gentlemen, the Rolling Stones, they state that Hal Ashby directed this movie. Of course, that is utterly wrong. Ashby directed Let's Spend the Night Together (along with Shampoo, Harold & Maude, Being There and other great films). Rollin Binzer directed Ladies and Gentlemen.

Anyone else uncover sloppy writing/research in this book? I see the prior post about the omission of IORR from the website section on Page 292.
