In 2006, the Stones are in the middle of their latest world tour, and reach the UK in the summer with sell-out shows at giant arenas like Wembley Stadium. To tie in, Aurum reissues, with a stunning new cover, Stephen Davis's definitive 500-page history of the band: the most readable and comprehensive chronicle in print. Davis has also brought it up to date with details of their new album, Charlie Watts' illness and the American leg of the tour in 2005. Davis himself is the author of a number of consistently bestselling rock book classics - especially his Led Zeppelin chronicle, "Hammer of the Gods", but also his book on Aerosmith, "Walk this Way". In "Old Gods", he has synthesised everything written, broadcast or revealed about the Stones into a single compulsively readable narrative: it is more comprehensive than Philip Norman's book, and just as raunchy as Robert Greenfield's. For anyone with an interest in any period of the Stones' history, from the 60s to the 21st century, this is the only book.

Soft cover. Zustand: Very Good. Updated Edition. Paperback. Old Gods Almost Dead. The 40-Year Odyssey of The Rolling Stones. The saga of the Rolling Stones is the central epic in rock mythology. Ever since their debut at London's Marquee Club in 1962 the Stones have defined a musical genre and experienced godlike adulation, quarrels, addiction, legal traumas and descents into madness and death - while steadfastly refusing to fade away. This book is the most comprehensive biography of the Stones yet, documenting their intese backstage lives; the feuds, the drugs, the marriages and the affairs that inspired and informed their songs; and the business of making records and putting on shows, remarkably enduring into the twenty-first century. It is a saga as raunchily entertaining as the Stones themselves. Illustrated. 596 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. Academic and Scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Educational Reference Literature.). Artikel-Nr. 101526
