Press Release Body = THE ROLLING STONES AFTERMATH
This deeply researched 430-page book offers a staggering and complete new view to the whole career of the Rolling Stones, from the very early days at dawn of the 60's, when the future band members as many teenagers of that time, found themselves caught by the new, sudden wind blowing from America called rock'n'roll, to the current days corporate mega-tours across the world. In the interim the 'greatest rock'n'roll band in the world' not only changed the music scene, but also the world and our society. After an introduction based on the latest band's global performances at the Super Bowl in America and the free concert in Rio de Janeiro, the opening part describes how the band was formed, from the hard early days striving to get gigs, to the arrival of Andrew Oldham, the young, flamboyant PR-man who became their shrewd manager and producer. The work is both new and unique since it covers the Stones' career album by album, or CD by CD as we say these days; from their first album released in 1964 to the last one, "A Bigger Bang" issued in 2005. With exclusive photos by Tamara Guo, the book is packed with informations available nowhere else: for each album the author provides dates of the recording sessions, the studios, the producers, the sound engineers, the tracks, also the unreleased ones, the musicians other than the Rolling Stones themselves and how the records did both in the British and American charts. Tours accompanying the records releases are also fully and deeply covered, each one with dates, venues, song list, and supporting acts. Touring became corporate early in the 80's and rock'n'roll lost its innocence, yet the Rolling Stones mean not only music, but also busts, glamour, tragedies, gossips and the alike and everything is set in the work, so that each album or CD focalises over a particular year or years in a journey into the past and into the music that made the soundtrack of our lives. Although over the years several books have been published on the 'greatest rock'n'roll band in the world,' none of them comes close to "Aftermath".
