They called themselves 'The Rollin' Stones' and little did they know they would soon be making music history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis evocative new book captures the youth, the times and the spirit of The Stones' formative early years. And documenting 1963-1965 were two young photographers just starting out in their careers. Terry O'Neill, aged just 25, had a few years' experience photographing musicians and knew that this group had the same magic as another British phenomenon that just recently started to chart, The Beatles. As the band was starting to record and tour, Gered Mankowitz came along. His first shoot, the now famous Mason's Yard session, was so fruitful, Gered was asked to tag along on tour to America. Gered was a mere 19 when he picked up his camera and joined the band on stage in 1965. Between these two legendary photographers, they chronicle the band's beginnings and these indelible images are forever placed in music's consciousness. The photography throughout this book is embellished with various memories and interviews, celebrating the early days and giving an insight into what it must have felt like to go from a small club in Soho with no record deal to touring the world a few years later with a number one record. Terry O'Neill and Gered Mankowitz, two of the most respected, collected and exhibited photographers in the world were sitting in the front-row.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn 2016, London's Saatchi Gallery hosted the first ever major exhibition dedicated to the band: \u003cem\u003eExhibitionism\u003c\/em\u003e, a career-spanning, museum-style display of Stones artefacts and memorabilia.

They were making serious money and splashing out on new homes and cars. Their official photographer was invited to shoot an 'At Home' session with each of the band. This is the first time his 'At Home' sessions have been collated and published. The photographs are relaxed, the band's ease with Mankowitz evident. There are moments of contemplation, intimacy and wit, and Mankowitz manages to capture something of an amused innocence to the whole concept, as if the five of them can't quite believe how far they have come.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56308811137397,"sku":"9781909526747","price":19.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781909526747_740ac735-9e1b-4767-8832-b48eb8ccc791.jpg?v=1786029622"}],"url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/collections\/author-gered-mankowitz.oembed","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
