5.0 out of 5 stars
Solid coffee table depiction of arguably the most photogenic of them all,
This review is from: The Stones: 65-67 (Paperback)
To me, The Rolling Stones were the most picturesque of all white rock bands. Visually (and sonically in my opinion), their mid-60's period was the strongest. And despite the plethora of timeless recordings that they produced during this time, it has to be said that a large part of their iconic appeal was directly attributable to the startling photography of Gered Mankowitz. When we think of the '60s Stones, we think of his photographs of them.
Mankowitz was pretty much the official Stones photographer between '65 - '67 and in this volume he treats us with a collection of some of his choice shots, many unpublished before, of the band from the time they toured the US to promote The Last Time, up until Satanic Majesties. Here we see the band metamorphose before our very eyes from shaggy-haired yet sharp-looking garage rockers to druggy, spaced-out degenerates (although some might argue that they always WERE degenerates). And at all times, looking as gritty, potent and real as their tough and grainy records. It's a fascinating visual portrait that never gets stale regardless of how many times you view the book. There is some perfunctory text that accompanies some of the photographs but really, this is a visual affair. Mankowitz' pictures capture a time, place and attitude with far more clarity, insight and immediacy than any wordy verbiage ever could. As essential as your copies of Aftermath and High Tide And Green Grass.
