Book Description

Publication Date: October 1, 2006

The same team that created The Beatles: 365 Days turns to that other most famous of England’s rock ’n’ roll exports—the Rolling Stones. Bursting with photographs—more than half of them rarely or never seen—and filled with detailed, informative captions by journalist Simon Wells as well as quotes from the band’s members and their famous friends, The Rolling Stones: 365 Days follows the Stones from their explosion on the English scene in 1963 to their status as living legends today. The band’s offstage and backstage antics, iconic performances (including Hyde Park, Altamont, and the Ed Sullivan Show), their many girlfriends and wives, infamous brushes with the law, and more are all represented here.

While the Stones may have sung “You can’t always get what you want,” their fans most definitely will with The Rolling Stones: 365 Days.

This very thick picture book is much larger than I had expected for this low,low price.
It's packed with photos, lots that aren't that common .Some color,but mostly in black and white.
I am very happy with this purchase and it will take some time to go over all the pictures and the information about them.
Recommended for fans.

Yes-another 'MUST' for the Stones GEEK! Odd size-almost like a CD box, or a sideways encyclopedia! Beyond that it is cool--as far as information, we already know all this--as far as photos--many have been published before, but many have not--and many are out-takes of photos you may have seen in an old '16' or 'Flip' magazine. Either way-if you like the Stones it's worth having no matter what. Greg Prevost/Outasite

This is a fantastic book for fans and, at this bargain price, it is a steal. There are 365 mostly black and white photos from the beginning up to last year and many of them I have never seen, and I have plenty of Stones' coffee table books already. The text describes the photo and gives a bit of a plot line about the time the photo was shot and there are plenty of quotes from the fellows and others to underscore things nicely. My one request would've been some Exile recording session shots, but that's simply being greedy and I won't let my greed drop a star off of this otherwise excellent purchase. If you don't own it, do yourself or a loved one who is into the band a favor and buy it.
