This book is a treasure for anyone who is a rock solid Rolling Stones fan. It groups songs by the LP that had them. Each song has a story of how it was conceived, written, and put together for production/singing. There are facts about the Rolling Stones members that are quite interesting. Many of these are included in the songs' stories. If you are one of those who wants to have information about all of the Rolling Stones' songs and albums, this is the book for you. Amazon has the best price for this book, also.

I thought I'd write a short review if this book in case there's anyone whose not familiar with previous similar books on other artists. This 695 page tome (not including Index, Bibliography, Glossary) will be familiar to those who own the Dylan or Beatles books with the same premise. Beginning with "Come On" from 1963 up through "Bigger Bang" from 2005, all the official tunes the band recorded are here. Info for those not familiar with either of the above books includes composer, release date, musicians, studio, record label and number. Plus there's an essay for every song that helps put the music into perspective plus period photos. Included is a Forward, an essay on how the band came together, a piece on Ian Stewart ("the sixth Stone"), and a piece on Andrew Loog Oldham. Plus there's a Glossary, a much needed Index, and a Bibliography. The book is full of both color and b&w photos, some of which will be familiar while others less so. And it's many of the period photos that really add even more depth to the text, helping to give a better picture (no pun intended) of any particular song/year. The albums themselves are also represented by short essays (including short sidebars "For Stones Addicts") that also add more depth to the music, including the "Stone Age: The Album That Should Never Have Been Released!", or two pages on the guitars (check out Richard's beautiful Gibson Les Paul in full color) used by Richards and Jones for the "Beggar's Banquet sessions among other details. Like other similar books, is all the information complete and correct? It depends on how deep you go into the book's information. In an undertaking such as this there will be errors. But overall this is a good book to use when you want info on a specific tune or to simply crack it open for a scan of the band's music. Bottom line--if you're a Stones fan this is an informative (and fun) look at the band's music from across their long history. Open this book to virtually any song and you will more than likely learn something you didn't know plus a look at some great photos.

This Book is very useful. I can verify anything I want to know about the Songs of the Rolling Stones. It also educated me on Songs I was unaware of. Goes over all the Singles as well. It's a great big Book at a low price. Fast Shipping.

If you are a Stones fan, you MUST get this book. It breaks down each song (who played what, etc.) and is a great read.

I found a used copy rated as "like new" for my 86 year old mother, who originally saw Elvis in Mississippi in 1955, and went with the times, she was, and is, a devoted fan of the Rolling Stones. She was thrilled to have all the lyrics in addition to the brief note pertaining to each song. It is certainly a very nice book, especially finding a very nice used copy. I don't bother to shop for books to read from anywhere else but Amazon.

unnötiges wissen, aber sehr gut gemacht , für jeden zeit- und kulturgeschichtlich interessierten wichtig.

Súper buen compendio de las canciones. Llevo poquitas leídas y está súper bien

ottimo

Lovely book! Highly recommended!

Un soberbio libro no solamente para los fanáticos de los Stones, sino para todos los aficionados a la buena música, ya que aprendes muchísimo sobre instrumentos, voces, grabación, arreglos y producción musical en general a través de la historia de las canciones de la banda más importante de la historia.
