And this copy is even NEW> --- NEW, still in publisher's original packaging!! The Rolling Stones, Altamont and the end of the sixties. 1969 was a turning point in the history of rock'n'roll. That year, Ethan A. Russell was one of the very few people to accompany the Rolling Stones on their Let-It-Bleed tour through the USA. And he always had his camera with him. In hotel rooms, at rehearsals, backstage. His pictures and texts provide a glimpse behind the scenes and convey an uncensored impression of the Stones' world and the rock'n'roll circus of those years. Russell's photographs capture magical moments - right up to the tragic concert in Altamont, with which the band ended their US tour and which is now regarded as a disillusioning key event of the Love & Peace generation. Let It Bleed is a book that not only celebrates one of the band's best albums of all time - with hits like Gimme Shelter and You Can't Always Get What You Want - but also a powerful moment between two charismatic decades that brought great change. An incredible book of photos taken during the historic 1969 tour that included Altamont. Signed by Ethan A. Russell, the collector's edition without art print is limited to 2600 copies. . I wrote this book. It took meSIX years. I knew thatAltamont - while a defining event - was the outlier of a magnificent tour, the rest of which was unique in a way that was never repeated. It is a BIG book. (Ethan A. Russel --- THE LONDON SUNDAY TIMES You think youve seen all there is to see of the Rolling Stones. You havent. Ethan Russells photographs reveal a completely different sideto the band - relaxed, unguarded and light years away from any rock-star posturing.
