- ever. Their previous visit in 1969 had ended in the nightmare of Altamont; now three years later they had just recorded their two finest albums Sticky Fingers & Exile on Main Street & were musically in their prime
- if also personally at their most dissolute & debauched.

This was an extended tour Party capital P to which all America's hip rich & glitzy were invited from Truman Capote to Stevie Wonder Annie Liebowitz to Hugh Hefner. The result has been acclaimed as one of the all-time classic music books. Published for some years by Helter Skelter under the title A Journey Through America with the Rolling Stones it is now reissued by Aurum under its original title with a new introduction by the author. Robert Greenfield is also the author of Exile on Main Street: A Season in Hell with the Rolling Stones & biographies of Timothy Leary & Jerry Garcia. He lives in California.
