The Story of The Rolling Stones Evening Standard Edition

IT’S JUNE 1962 at the Marquee Club in London. The lights go down, and a young, scruffy band takes the stage. Jagger prowls the mic, Richards and Jones rip through “Come On,” and the crowd leans forward, caught between shock and delight. The Stones are raw, loud, electric — nothing like anything London has heard before. Every riff, every scream, every stomp of the drum hits like a jolt. The set ends … the audience erupts. The Rolling Stones have arrived. 

Follow the story of The Rolling Stones through a book of authentic Evening Standard newspaper articles, curated from original reports dating back to 1964. This edition charts the band’s history — exactly as it was reported at the time.

Featuring:

– Breakthrough hits and the British Invasion of the 1960s
– Legendary tours and stadium concerts around the world
– Iconic albums and defining moments from the 1970s through the 1990s
– Highlights from their later years, including US arena shows in their eighties
