A superb archive of images with accompanying text, from the Stones official tour photographer, the series of photos run from just before the 1972 world tour through to the 1986 Grammy awards. With a foreword by Mick Taylor. Putland's archive documents the seventies which many consider the most interesting decade in the band's history, and beyond, resulting in a photographic history second to none; including shots of Mick Taylor in the line-up; the incredible It's Only Rock'n'Roll video shoot; the arrival of Ronnie Wood; the first pictures of Keith after his Toronto drug bust; backstage at the Palladium; and the fantastic 100 Club gig. Other musicians also photographed here include Paul McCartney and Billy Preston (The Beatles/Apple), Bob Marley and Peter Tosh (The Wailers), Roger Waters (Pink Floyd) Eric Clapton, Ian McLagan (Small Faces) and Van Morrison. Unbelievably, Michael Putland's images have rarely been published, never exhibited, and never before presented in such an exquisite art form.
