Book description
This insider's account of the lives of Brian Jones, Keith Richard,
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 Â- buying drugs, running errands, and
orchestrating cheap thrills Â- and he records unforgettable accounts
of the Stones' perilous misadventures: racing cars along the Cote
d'Azur; 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 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 world's most famous rock and roll band.
