A Waste, January 22, 2006

By	Diego Banducci (San Francisco, CA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Early Stones: Legendary Photographs of a Band in the Making, 1963-1973 (Hardcover)

Michael Cooper was a photographer who photographed the Stones early in their careers, got into drugs, and committed suicide. These pictures were assembled by his assistant to provide a memorial to him.

Unfortunately, the pictures, with the exception of some taken at Stonehenge, are undistinguished and generally uninteresting, as is the accompanying text written by Keith Richards and Terry Southern.

Your money will be better spent on a copy of C%#ks&#ker Blues (1972), Robert Frank's video documentary of a Stones tour that the band initially authorized and then barred from release. Bootleg copies are available on the Net.

Were the Rolling Stones ever really this young?, April 7, 2005

By	M. Bromberg "dashbitters" (Atlanta, GA United States) - See all my reviews

It's hard to imagine those grizzled rock gods The Stones as having once been young, loud and snotty, but here's the proof in 175 oversized, black-and-white pages from the collection of the band's premier photographer Michael Cooper (in 1967, Cooper also guided the creation of the cover for "Their Satanic Majesties' Request"). The book is laced with witty and acerbic comments from the usual suspects: Keith, number one fan Terry Southern, Anita Pallenberg, and Marianne Faithfull all have wonderfully catty things to say (sometimes about each other ...) and there are some beautiful, ghostly images of Gram Parsons with the band at Joshua Tree, looking for UFOs. Really. Cooper documented the Stones at a time when their bad-boy image could be enhanced by a single shot of Keith and Brian flipping off a picture of Richard Nixon, which says more about the "generation gap" than a thousand words ever can. This needs to be re-printed. (Another great photo book, Annie Liebovitz's 1978 "The Rolling Stones On Tour" is expected in a deluxe edition to be published this year.) Pick this up while you can. Turns out the old gods had time on their side, after all.
