'We thought we would last two or three years with a bit of luck and come out with a few shillings in our pocket.' Bill Wyman was some way out in his prediction.There are many yardsticks by which to measure a band's success: chart position, record sales, the number of foot-tappingly memorable songs, the buzz and box-office pull surrounding a tour. And yes, sheer longevity - the ability to sustain the magic, to reinvent and re-energize, keeping the old fans coming back for more while bringing new devotees to the party. By any benchmark, The Rolling Stones still rule the little red roost, and after rocking out for five decades show no sign of fading away.A Photographic History of The Rolling Stones charts the rise of the world's greatest rock 'n' roll band. This lavishly illustrated book comprehensively chronicles the story of a pop phenomenon and cultural institution with over 350 photographs. The 1960s bad-boy image may have gone, but when the Stones roll into town it's still a major happening.
