The Rolling Stones rare and unseen

£35.00

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 Here, he delves deep into his incomparable archive, uncovering the hidden gems that have remained unpublished and unseen for over 50 years – until now.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.

Delve into the unseen archive of iconic photographer Gered Mankowitz as he shares rare and newly discovered images of his time with the Rolling Stones, alongside his most iconic shots.

Just a teenager, Mankowitz took some of the best-loved photographs of the Stones in their frantic, formative years. Now for the first time he looks beyond those famous images – unearthing frames that have never been seen before, plus those rarely used.

Also featuring Gered’s first-hand stories and a host of expert writers on the band and their music – including The Times‘ chief rock and pop critic Will Hodgkinson, Ben Sisario of the New York Times as well as academics, fashion writers and more – The Rolling Stones Rare and Unseen is a fresh look at the greatest story in rock ‘n’ roll.
