The Rolling Stones The Rolling Stones: On Air In The Sixties Book

Product Description

This new official book tells the story, for the first time, of the Stones through their many radio & TV appearances as they rose to fame in the sixties. From their first TV appearance on Thank Your Lucky Stars, buttoned up in matching hounds-tooth suits at manager Andrew Loog Oldhams insistence, to the louche rockers who appeared on stage for the televised free concert in Londons Hyde Park in 1969, this book looks back at their career-defining broadcasts, remembering the music, the clothes, the fans, the rivals & friends, & the world at large around them, divided by generation between broad-sheet moral panic & hysterical teen riots. Featuring previously unseen facsimile documents from the BBC & commercial TV & radio archives & many stunning unseen images, this is history as it happened, in context, immediate & vivid, offering new insights & a fresh unexplored perspective on the story of one of the greatest great rock n roll bands the world has ever seen.
