I may have read this in 1974. I checked out a book called 'Rolling Stones' from the Braswell Library in Rocky Mount, NC (YES! Believe it or not); I kept it checked out all summer. The most interesting chapter was a long review of the Altamont debacle. It also has some simple sheet music at the end, which I tried to learn. At that time I knew nothing of authors and ISBN's. Has anyone else read or seen this book and can confirm that it's the same book I described?

This is a fan's book and probably not a casual read for an indifferent reader. Released in 1972 this is a collection of articles, sheet music, film reviews, record reviews and discography. Interspersed are some rare photos from a prime era of the Stones by definition of a large number of fans. The writing at times is representative of the era and may be politically incorrect. Bear in mind before opening this trunk. All and all as a longtime fan this is a great collectable in addition to a great read.

Rolling Stones by David Dalton is a great biography on the legendary rock band The Rolling Stones.

[Whitney Shroyer · Rating 3 out of 5]

1972 coffee table compendium of Rolling Stones photos, think pieces, record reveiws, and poor music tablature. Fascinating to see people worrying if the Stones can "carry on" before the advent of "Exile on Main St." Writers who love rock and roll (including myself) have been putting too many cultural and intellectual expectations on these guys for almost 50 years now, so it's no wonder they've turned into creatively burnt out spoiled brats. The first of many such coffee table books, and at least it helps create the clichés rather than simply perpetuate them.

Probably the coolest book ever on The Stones covering from 1962-1972.....pics, stories and commentaries are classic and there is even a sheet music section in the back....
