Not Fade Away: 50 years of the Rolling Stones in 50 fascinating photographs
On
Thursday July 12, 1962 six young lads took to the stage of the Marquee Club and a legend was born.
They have rocked the world for 50 years and the Mirror’s photographers have captured all the ups and downs.
So when the Rolling Stones decided to release a book to mark the milestone, they knew where to come to find the best images.
The Rolling Stones: 50 is crammed with amazing snaps hand-picked by Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts and Ronnie Wood, many from our extensive archive.
“This is our story of 50 fantastic years,” the rock ’n’ rollers said of the official book yesterday.
“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.”
The 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.
Across 352 pages, The Rolling Stones: 50 features 700 Illustrations, 300 of which are in colour.
The book is published by Thames & Hudson and will be available from all bookshops on July 12, for £29.95, but can be pre-ordered now.
