COVER: [

A friend of mine have this long out of print and hard to get book IN MINT
CONDITIONS (LIKE NEW) for sale.
INFORMATION:
Hard-back only in a large American letter page format (8½ x 11 inches,
similar to A4) of 644 pages, it is printed on top quality art-paper which
allows best reproduction of the 106 record label & sleeve reproductions;
the first 1,000 or so copies also incorporate a ribbon-secured bookmark.
The quality of the book is reflected in its weight of 2.5 Kg per book! The
fact that it is being issued as a limited edition of only 2,000 copies to
satisfy a world-wide market - in fact, more than 1,000 copies were
pre-sold before publication.
The book opens with the following words, by Keith: You have the Sun, you
have the Moon, you have the air to breathe - and you've got The Rolling
Stones! Then details of how the book works, index, key symbols etc. The
first entry 001 is the July 12, 1962 appearance at the Marquee Club,
London. Then, more than 300 pages later, if finish off the Stones section
with the release of the Stripped CD on Nov. 13, 1995.
All known tours, recordings, session, radio and TV broadcasts, releases
etc. is listed. More than 3 decades of Stones history, when and where they
recorded, what songs they recorded, who were there etc. Following the
Stones section is another 120 or s pages of solo projects, including Mick,
Brian, Keith, Ian Stewart, Mick Taylor, Charlie, Ronnie and Bill. Again,
details of recordings, releases, sessions, interviews, you name it - it's
in the book!
Then on to a selected discography of vinyl and CD bootlegs, about 40
pages. The book finish off with the last 130 pages being one huge
cross-reference section of a register. Here you may find lists of albums,
chart positions, names of persons, songs, a huge index of names and
titles. If you need to find a song, a name, a release or whatever, it's
there!
LET ME KNOW!!
Thanks!
