Publisher's Synopsis
The Collected Rolling Stones is a unique celebration of the history of The World's Greatest Rock 'n' Roll Band, showcasing four decades of Rolling Stones music and merchandising. Drawn from the staggering archive of leading Stones collectors Chris Eborn and Matt Lee, the book presents a visual feast of items, many of which have never been seen in print before. It also details a complete history of the Stones' career through their collectables, while also examining the wider history of rock and pop collecting as a whole. The Rolling Stones are the most collectable rock 'n' roll band still actively working, and the second most collectable of all time after The Beatles. The collection of music memorabilia has become a thriving area of the prospector's antique market, and is one in which any rock fan can easily become involved. With frequent specialist auctions at Christie's and Sotherby's, and a huge internet auction presence led by sites such as Ebay, interest in this field has never been higher.
