ARGONAUT BOOKS

On 12 July 1962, the Rollin' Stones performed their first-ever gig at London's Marquee jazz club. Down the line, a 'g' w as added, a spark was lit and their destiny was sealed. No going back. Lesley-Ann Jones's new history tracks this contradictory, disturbing, granitic and unstoppable band through hope, glory and exile, into the juggernaut years and beyond into rock's ongoing reckoning, where the Stones seem more at odds than ever with the values and heritage against which they have always rebelled.
