Bent Rej Ordine dei libri (cronologico)

Praise for the hardcover edition: "Captures the frenzy of the band's live performances and the lightheartedness behind the scenes . . . a real sense of their personalities." -- Library Journal "In this arresting book . . . are pictures that reveal the Stones on the cusp of greatness, scruffy legends in the making." -- Movie Entertainment The Rolling Stones: In the Beginning is the fascinating behind-the-scenes story of the band and the private lives of its members from the very beginning. Bent Rej, a photojournalist and close friend of the Rolling Stones, had unprecedented access to the band when they made their first European tour, staying with them in hotels and in their homes. The book is organized chronologically with chapters devoted to each band member, including Brian Jones, and covers the important periods in the band's early career. These photographs give rare insights into the Rolling Stones just before their star rose and their lives spun out of control on a wave of fame, drugs and failed marriages. Photographs range from candid and intimate to staged shots, each revealing the complex personalities of the band members. This book provides remarkable insights for any fan of the Rolling Stones.

From March 1965 to May 1966, photographer Bent Rej enjoyed unique access to 'The Rolling Stones', having become one of the trusted inner circle of friends and associates, accompanying them on their first full European outing; the Satisfaction tour. This extraordinary book presents Rej's collection of intimate photographs of this charismatic group of young musicians, and revealing a forgotten time in the history of rock. Revelling in the first fruits of popular success (many of the photographs show the band members in their first homes), they are nevertheless unaware of what the future will hold. Only Mick Jagger begins to pose self-consciously in front of the lens, and it is only with hindsight that we realise that at this point The Rolling Stones were perched on the edge of the heights - or abyss - of superstardom.

Die Edition Olms präsentiert zum ersten Mal eine einzigartige Sammlung von über 300 bisher unveröffentlichten Fotos der Rolling Stones, aufgenommen kurz bevor die Stones Mitte der 60er Jahre zu wahren Superstars aufstiegen. Der dänische Photograph Bent Rej hatte vom März 1965 bis zum Mai 1966 die Möglichkeit, ganz in der Nähe der Stones zu sein. Er gehörte zu dem vertrauten inneren Zirkel von Freunden und Bekannten und begleitete die Band auf ihrer ersten großen Europatour: The Satisfaction Tour.
