Everything you know about The Rolling Stones is true - but everything you don't know about The Rolling Stones is also true. And now you can know everything you never knew. This diminutive guide reveals every story, every song, every story behind every song, every scandal, every scandalous story, and - well, you get the idea.

This is an extraordinary encyclopedic-type reference source that makes for intense and revealing reading. There are tell-tale stories behind every album, fifty of their greatest songs, Brian Jones' slow descent into hell, Mick Taylor and Ron Wood's membership, their beginnings, their producers, their dirty secrets, and a fascinating chapter entitled “World War III: 1979 – 1992” that deals with the band's almost-dissolution.

There are dozens of volumes out there about The Stones, but this one has material you've certainly never before read. Author Sean Egan has tracked down a mountain of salient and salacious fare. Even if you don't read, the photos are reason enough to buy this.
