Editorial Review:
The same team that created The Beatles: 365 Days turns to that other most famous of England’s rock ’n’ roll exports—the Rolling Stones. Bursting with photographs—more than half of them rarely or never seen—and filled with detailed, informative captions by journalist Simon Wells as well as quotes from the band’s members and their famous friends, The Rolling Stones: 365 Days follows the Stones from their explosion on the English scene in 1963 to their status as living legends today. The band’s offstage and backstage antics, iconic performances (including Hyde Park, Altamont, and the Ed Sullivan Show), their many girlfriends and wives, infamous brushes with the law, and more are all represented here.
While the Stones may have sung “You can’t always get what you want,” their fans most definitely will with The Rolling Stones: 365 Days.
The Rolling Stones: 365 Days Reviews:
Fotos increibles 
2008-09-23 - Este libro que nace de la mano de los creadores de The Beatles: 365 Days nois muestra fotografias de Los tones desde sus inicios hasta el concierto de febrero del 2006 en Brasil. La gran mayoria dlas fotografias son nunca antes vistas y van acompañadas cada una de su respectiva leyenda ademas de la fecha en que los hechos se estaba desarrollando, impactan la del funaral de Brian JOnes en especial la de sus padres. Un libro quizas un poco incomodo para leer pues preciera que se te puede romper los bordes, pero que de seguro con mas de 700 paginas te dara horas de entretencion para ti y tus amigos.
Great Book - Fast Service
2008-02-08 - A very detailed book about the Stones. So many pictures. They don't come any better than this!I recommend it for all Rolling Stones Fans
Lovely Picture Book
2007-10-23 - Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/RA4RLLN7E0LRI This very thick picture book is much larger than I had expected for this low,low price.
It's packed with photos, lots that aren't that common .Some color,but mostly in black and white.
I am very happy with this purchase and it will take some time to go over all the pictures and the information about them.
Recommended for fans.
Can't beat it for the price
2007-06-07 - This is a fantastic book for fans and, at this bargain price, it is a steal. There are 365 mostly black and white photos from the beginning up to last year and many of them I have never seen, and I have plenty of Stones' coffee table books already. The text describes the photo and gives a bit of a plot line about the time the photo was shot and there are plenty of quotes from the fellows and others to underscore things nicely. My one request would've been some Exile recording session shots, but that's simply being greedy and I won't let my greed drop a star off of this otherwise excellent purchase. If you don't own it, do yourself or a loved one who is into the band a favor and buy it.
A story of The Rolling Stones in pictures
2007-02-10 - I'm so happy with the great deal that I got on this book from Amazon.I also own the companion book on The Beatles which I purchased used,but this book was brand new and sealed in plastic and there were no remainder marks.Enough about the deal,now about the book itself-it is very thick and there are many fascinating photos,many of them in black & white just like The Beatles book.The Stones book definitely portrays them as being much darker than The Beatles,as it focusses on the more lurid aspects of their career and that's a shame because in spite of the drugs and the sex there really were a lot of bright moments in their career.Some of the photos of Mick Jagger are definitely not flattering and one wonders why they were published at all.I know that he's often not considered to be very attractive,but he obviously does have a sex appeal and thankfully there are better photos of him throughout the book.I didn't buy the book just to look at pictures of Mick Jagger.I bought it because I'm a huge fan of the group and I'm so glad that there was accompanying text and not just pictures.Two of the photos that stand out are The Stones on the same stage in Britain with none other than Tony Bennett(he was the compere at an awards ceremony and he also presented awards to The Beatles and a similar photo is shown in The Beatles:365 Days)and the very lovely Marianne Faithfull in lingerie.She was to The Stones(particularly Mick Jagger)what Patti Boyd was to The Beatles(likewise,George Harrison).The Beatles book features a nice photo of beautiful Patti,but unfortunately,it's not as provocative as Marianne's.Despite the book's focus on sensationalism,it really is an entertaining read and a worthwhile purchase.I recommend purchasing it with The Beatles:365 Days if,like me,you love both bands.Some people are fans of one group and not the other(it usually seems that more people prefer The Beatles),but they were both great and it's nice to see their careers commemorated in this way.
