I bought the first edition, but somehow never read much of it. It just didn’t have any magic to it.

The Dutch 2017 version has 752 pages.

What is the expansion about ? Anyone knows ?

No infos about the expansion on the publisher's website - [www.BlackDogAndLeventhal.com] .

By Book-seller [www.Lehmanns.de] : "A revised and updated edition of the comprehensive visual history of the 'World's Greatest Rock & Roll Band' on the occasion of their 60th anniversary. This book tells the history of the Rolling Stones through the recording of their monumental catalog, including 30 studio albums and 29 compilation albums, plus more than a hundred singles."

Maybe they've added the FFSO tracks ;-)

It's unlikely there's a lot of interesting stuff for die-hards like us in that kind of book...In fact so much detailed and "multiple-checked" info is shared on IORR that you're more likely to come across inaccurate info that quickly discredits the whole effort. I really find that annoying...I recently listened to Philippe Manoeuvre's (Stones expert who's met the Stones dozens of times) audiobook and was "shocked" when I spotted inaccurate info (claimed Mick had tried to walk through the crowd in 1994, when it was in 1988).

They should have waited till the new album surfaces with new songs and lyrics.
Now it’s just “money making” from 60 years old shoes …

Hang on...maybe just the font is bigger, so they've had to expand the size of it because of that?

Would make sense as most fans are old and can't read small type.

Anyone with me on this?!

Bigger font ?

Well, i am 63 and can read the "old" book very well, thank you.

You could be right there

I wait for the virtual reality version of the book. I expect it to come out soon after the Stones decide to stop writing altogether in 2030 and focus on live shows only. I'll be 81/82 by that time and won't need fixed fonts then, but ... virtual reality

And since most of us are beginning to suffer from dementia, and can't even remember what Rolling Stones is, or what the frontcover of the book says, after opening it....
the next edition should just contain pictures of flower fields, rabbits and smiling children, to put us in a good mood

When I first read '2030' I thought, yeah right, 20+ years from now.

Then I realized, "holy crap, that's in 8 years!".

I still remember when 2001 was some mystical time in the future.

I remember when 1984 was the scary future!

Your post was 'very visual' and put me in a good mood.

What were we talking about again?

There is some interesting info but the book is not well written. There's too much empty praise rather than real analysis e.g. the contributions of various band members to specific tracks are frequently described as 'excellent' or 'very good' which doesn't say a while lot.

Maybe the’ve added the deluxe versions.
I’ve got the previous pressing. The first glance was good, but when you look it more closely there’s way too much question marks and inaccuracies. It’s a pity since a book like this with proper info would be great to have.

One of their official songs was left off the first one - can't recall which one - something from "Flowers". Maybe they've included it now?

A book of that magnitude is rarely perfect. Let's hope they've updated it with songs since, and any that were omitted perviously.

Living in a ghost town
Scarlet
All the rage
Criss Cross
Living In The Heart Of Love
Fiji Jim
Troubles A’ Comin
Shame Shame Shame
Drift Away
It’s A Lie
Come To The Ball
Fast Talking Slow Walking
Start Me Up (Early Version)

This is quite more than just one track...

Was waiting for this edition which brings it up to date.
I liked much of the info provided about songs.

That made me laugh, but now I feel guilty, uncomfortable, and maybe even just a little bit dirty.

Maybe they changed some of the credits. Like Brian playing the Bo Diddley rhythm guitar on Mona and not Keith. Keith playing lead guitar on Grown Up Wrong and What a Shame and not Brian on slide guitar. His Majesty has corrected some of these already.
