80 photos both iconic and rare from 20 photographers - the typeface is annoying however.
Nov 12 2012
By Steven I. Ramm
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
One of the many products being published to commemorate the half-century career of the seminal rock band, The Rolling Stones, this large format, hardcover page book compiles both iconic photos (many used for album covers) from 20 well-known music-performance photographers. The 80 images included are primarily black-and-white (the majority of the color shots come near the end) but these are actually the ones that capture the band at their rawest. Arranged chronologically from 1962 through 2005, each photographer - or in the case of Eric Swayne (his son, Tom)- provides a short essay to accompany their section. There's also a two-page Foreword and an eight-page Afterward of text plus brief bios of the photographers. While the photos are great, and the print quality high, the Editor, Chris Murray, (or maybe it was the unnamed graphic designer) decided to use a newsprint-like font for the text and to increase the type size and use BOLD text every time the words "Rolling Stones" appears. This won't detract fans from buying this book but I, for one, found it annoying and distracting. Hence the four star rating.
You'll see all the band members here - both on stage and off - along with fellow entertainers like James Brown and Jimi Hendrix. And the book is 12x12 in size so it will fit right next to your RS Lps on your record shelf.
I hope you found this review both informative and helpful.
