Editorial Review:
The definitive guide to the Rolling Stones' recorded works, first published in 1989, has now been updated to take into account recent releases and include additional research information. With every official release, bootleg, recording session, and significant live recording listed in chronological order, every song also carries a full commentary and places the recording in context with the historical period. The Rolling Stones: Complete Recording Sessions 1962-2002 (Rockdetector) Reviews:
Great info - but a chore to read 
2005-10-02 - This is a good book - but it's more for students than general readers. Every song is covered, but the information provided is not all that well written. The stories that people want to read are skipped over, and he concentrates on all the boring stuff. One of the most famous Stones stories, for example, is when John Lennon gave them 'I Wanna Be Your Man' for their second single, but the meeting between them doesn't even get half a page. I had to read a Beatles book to find out the full story.
But, having said that, if you're just looking for the facts and figures - a discography of everything they've ever released - then this book will serve you well.
No "Revolution In the Head," but decent
2005-01-07 - No, Elliott is not Ian McDonald, but every song is here, with some sort of description attempted for each ("I Need You" a 'country song?' Arggh!). Good guide for bootleggers and other people who live with their mothers.
Good Book, However.......
2004-04-23 - Martin Elliott has written a good book here, but the buyer should be aware that there are some inaccuracies in his tome.
I would purchase this book again in spite of the few errors made by the author.
