I was wondering if anyone on this board has purchased or read the following books and if so, what his/her opinion is --

1) The "Stones" in the Park: The Summer of '69 and the Making of the Greatest Rock and Roll Band in the World -- Richard Havers

2) Rolling Stones and the Making of Let It Bleed (Vinyl Frontier) -- Sean Egan

3) StarF*cker: The Rolling Stones Live in London '76 -- Nobby Clark

4) You Can't Always Get What You Want: My Life with the Rolling Stones, the Grateful Dead and Other Wonderful Reprobates -- Sam Cutler (According to amazon, this book, while not yet released in paperback, was published in hardback in 2007. Someone has even posted a review (might be Sam himself, though)).

I trust the opinions of IORR posters over the reviews on amazon.com.

Thanks.

Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

have you tried using the search gizmo, with one of the slightly longer time settings?
there have been discussions of all of those books - some very recently.
(i'm just trying to be helpful - i'd go hunting for the links myself but it's past my bedtime :E)

The Sam Cutler was good.

you can catch Sam on Facebook, he is currently travelling around Oz

"Starf*cker" by Nobby Clarke was surprisingly bad. The book looks good, is pretty big, and I'm thinking 76 color shots - you can't go wrong. But there are many downright bad photos; most out of focus (not in the good way).

Some reviews & pics of the Nobby Clarke book here :

I am a Frenchie ,as Mick affectionately called them in the Old Grey Whistle Test in 1977 .

I have to revise my opinion on Hayward's book. I think I expected something else. Good book. The 65 shots awesome, all 67 even more so.

has anyone seen the book by Keno yet?

I've got the Starf*cker book. Deliverance is right about some of the photos not focused. I felt it was pretty good for the price though. Lots of photos that really bring out the energy of the shows. Some good distant shots of the whole stage and arena as well. I think it's worth the price.
