From Library Journal
Archivist Karnbach (The Rolling Stones in Europe, Beaufort, 1983) and photojournalist Bernson divide the Stones's creative activities into seven sections. "Chronology" lists significant miscellaneous events in the band's career, though entries can be inconsistent (e.g., only some record release dates, also found in the discography, are included here). "Tours and Concerts" attempts to record every known live performance and even includes set lists. The "Sessionography" chronicles all recording studio activity, while the "Discography" lists all the group's official recordings (i.e., no bootlegs) in the United States and the United Kingdom, a few significant releases from other countries, and promotional recordings. Other sections include "Films," "Television Appearances" (primarily in the United States and the United Kingdom), and "Promotional Films and Videos." Unfortunately, facts about a particular release are often awkwardly repeated or split between some U.S. and U.K. entries. Still, this book is unique in emphasizing facts and details about the Stones's work rather than their offstage exploits. Recommended for most popular music collections, though a new Stones album and tour this fall already outdate the book.

Most Helpful Customer Reviews   7 of 8 people found the following review helpful: This One's Got It, September 9, 2002 By  Richard R. Carlton (Ada, MI United States) - See all my reviews       This review is from: It's Only Rock-N-Roll: The Ultimate Guide to the Rolling Stones (Paperback) Let me quote Little Richard....."You Got It - Oh, Baby, You Got It" This is the most authoritative guide I've found on the Band. Absolutely great chronology, concert data (often with set lists), sessionography, discography (both US and UK), films, TV, promotionals, and even a decent shot at the bootlegs. There are lots of notes and details......great listings of which sessions produced all the unreleased takes, so you can finally get your bootleg collection in order.......there is an unreleased version of Beast of Burden with different lyrics on the 8 track (the 8 TRACK!), there is a photo of the 1st gig advert at the Marquee Club, they solved the old legend of the Kink's Mick Avory serving as drummer at the first Marque Jazz Club date on July 12, 1962 by (why not?) asking Avory (get the book to find out the truth). There are dozens of similar nuggets......this is (as the cover states) the ultimate guide to the Rolling Stones. It's Only Rock 'n' Roll...ain't that the truth...... Note: Be careful not to mix this book up with the similarly titled "The Rolling Stones: It's Only Rock 'n' Roll: The Stories Behind Every Song" or Rolling Stones: It's Only Rock and Roll: Song by Song" both by Steve Appleford and both poor quality, or It's Only Rock 'N' Roll: My On-The-Road Adventures With the Rolling Stones " by Chet Flippo .  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?
