The Rolling Stones: Rare and Unseen – the must-have book for every Rolling Stones fan featuring containing many never-before-seen images.
Legendary photographer Gered Mankowitz helped to shape the very image of the Stones, shooting record covers, portraits and intimate sessions with the band at home and on tour. Here, he delves deep into his incomparable archive, uncovering the hidden gems that have remained unpublished and unseen for over 50 years – until now.
Alongside his iconic and much-loved images that captured the Stones at their swaggering best, these photographs show the band unguarded and unvarnished – young men in the eye of a rock ‘n’ roll storm, with the world at their feet.
Hundreds of photographs are accompanied by Gered’s memories and revealing insights as well as essays on the band by authors including author Will Hodgkinson and the New York Times’ Ben Sisario. The Rolling Stones: Rare and Unseen is the definitive collection of Mankowitz’s breathtaking photography.
