| Book Description | From March 1965 to May 1966, photographer Bent Rej enjoyed unique access to The Rolling Stones, having become one of the trusted inner circle of friends and associates, accompanying them on their first full European outing: the Satisfaction tour. This extraordinary book presents Rej's collection of intimate photographs of this charismatic group of young musicians, and revealing a forgotten time in the history of rock. Revelling in the first fruits of popular success (many of the photographs show the band members in their first homes), they are nevertheless unaware of what the future will hold. Only Mick Jagger begins to pose self-consciously in front of the lens, and it is only with hindsight that we realise that at this point The Rolling Stones were perched on the edge of the heights - or abyss - of superstardom. |
