Up And Down With The Rolling Stones

Up And Down With The Rolling Stones by Sanchez, Tony. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780306807114.

This insiders account of the lives of Brian Jones, Keith Richards, and Mick Jagger in the sixties and seventies has become legendary in the years since its first publication in 1979. Tony Sanchez worked for Keith Richard for eight years—buying drugs, running errands, and orchestrating cheap thrills—and he records unforgettable accounts of the Stones perilous misadventures: racing cars along the Côte dAzur; murder at Altamont; nostalgic nights with the Beatles at the Stones-owned nightclub Vesuvio; frantic flights to Switzerland for blood changes; and the steady stream of women, including Anita Pallenberg, Marianne Faithfull, and Bianca Jagger. Here are the Stones as never seen before, cavorting around the world, smashing Bentleys, working black magic, getting raided, having children, snorting coke, and mainlining heroin. Sanchez tells the whole truth, sparing not even himself in the process. With hard-hitting prose and candid photographs, he creates an invaluable primary source for anyone interested in the worlds most famous rock and roll band.
