Bantam Books, London, 2014. First Edition. Softcover (Photographic). Very Good. Illustrator: Photographic. Notes, acknowledgements, further reading, picture acknowledgements and index. The text is illustrated with two inserts, of eight pages each of predominantly black and white but the occasional colour photograph. Black and white photographic paperback binding with white and red coloured titles to the front panel and back strip. A biography, of sorts, first, that of one of the most iconic 1960s and beyond rock and roll bands – The Rolling Stones, and, of the founder of the band – Brian Jones. At the height of the Rolling Stones explosion on the rock and roll scene, Brian Jones was expelled from the band, and, in less than a month (third of July 1969) had died. "Victors get to write history – but it's never wholly true. Brian's life story is a gripping one, an epic battle between creativity and ambition, between self-sabotage and betrayal. This book will disentangle the threads of the Rolling Stones story and put Brian Jones firmly in the foreground." – from the rear panel blurb.  Minor creasing of the book corners and rubbing of the book edges and panels. Age toning of the text block edges and pages.  Size: Trade Paperback. [8], 9 - 366, [2] pages,.
