Title: The Rolling Stones announce 50th Anniversary book
Post by Gazza on Mar 2^nd, 2012 at 6:26am

The Rolling Stones announce 50th Anniversary book

"This is our story of fifty fantastic years. We started out as a blues band playing the clubs and more recently we’ve filled the largest stadiums in the world with the kind of show that none of us could have imagined all those years ago. Curated by us, it features the very best photographs and ephemera from and beyond our archives."
Mick, Keith, Charlie & Ronnie

On Thursday 12 July 1962 the Rolling Stones went on stage at the Marquee Club in London’s Oxford Street. In the intervening fifty years the Stones have performed live in front of more people than any band… ever. They’ve had No.1 singles and albums in every country that has a popular music chart and have helped define popular culture. Now Thames & Hudson is delighted to announce the publication of the only official and authorized book to celebrate the band’s 50th anniversary.

The book has been made possible by privileged access to superb reportage photography from the Daily Mirror’s archive, the largest newspaper collection of Rolling Stones photography, most of it hitherto unseen. The images tell their fifty-year history like it’s never been told before. This photographic
autobiography features images selected by the band accompanied by their own words. The photographers include Gered Mankowitz, Jean-Marie Périer,Dezo Hoffman, Michael Cooper, Terry O’Neill, Bent Rej and Philip Townsend – the photographer for their first ever shoot.

Some of the most rare and interesting Stones’ memorabilia has been specially photographed for this volume.

This remarkable book is the band’s thank you to their fans all over the world. Its publication on 12 July 2012 will be on the anniversary of the band’s first ever gig, and will be part of a year long celebration of the rock and roll royalty that the Rolling Stones have become.

The book will be published on the 12th July 2012, priced at £29.95 and is available to pre-order from Amazon:

It'll be released on the 12th July. I doubt there's much or any difference anywhere in the world.

Apart from Nebraska.

Why would the image in the press release be anything but the official cover art?

A year long celebration sounds expensive but very interesting!

A real thank you to the fans is a tour where the most expensive ticket is 50 bucks!

If it on sale on Rolling Stones.com I am not ordering it through them. I oredered the Sme Girls deluxe thing on RS.com and it was out of stock for months, I never even got the order so I bought it in Best Buy! Ridiculous. They sent me an email saying it was a delayed shipent and that was it, my order was never processed. Maybe it will be at the merchandise booth at the venues, assuming we are getting a year long celebration. Let the celebration begin with a tour announcement complete with venues and dates so we can plan out the next year. Stones take priority!

Post by Teiz on Mar 4^th, 2012 at 5:51am

I hear you Latern, I'll probably end up buying it at one of them book dump stores for 10 euro's or something..nice to have the same pictures and stories in a slightly different order...the Stones do have their moments though: opening the archives-site was nice.

Title: Re: The Rolling Stones announce 50th Anniversary b
Post by LanternHigh on Mar 4^th, 2012 at 7:38am

Teiz, is not for the ten euro.. no. First I havent no ever space to put it.. and the truth is.. you havent a sister that will kill you, if you buy another Stones' book. ::)
I know it might be very nice have another side to see them. Well buy it and then will tell me all the details.
It's a good thing. But I also would hear about a new tour.. a book is alright.. but another tour? :keithpunky

Title: Re: The Rolling Stones announce 50th Anniversary b
Post by Teiz on Mar 4^th, 2012 at 8:04am

I figured it's not for the ten euros. But speaking for me, I know I won't be able to resist the book at a dump price. And luckily for me my sister has to take a boat in order to get to the mainland anyway..so I'll know when to run..

Title: Re: The Rolling Stones announce 50th Anniversary b
Post by LanternHigh on Mar 4^th, 2012 at 8:25am

Teiz, With her you never win .. I do so as I can. She does not like the Stones, and does not understand why I have this passion. Which is part of my life.
