Issued in a 'deluxe' limited edition of 1750 signed and numbered copies, with example numbered 1285 and signed by Gered Mankowitz in silver ink on the limitation page. Creator of the iconic 'Between the Buttons' album cover, Mankowitz had unrivalled access to the Rolling Stones between 1965 - 67, capturing the band during recording sessions, concerts and behind the scenes. 'In preparing this book, Gered individually proofed and examined 3,500 frames carefully stored in his own personal archive, an experience which he described as being 'like viewing much of my work for the very first time'. In the process he rediscovered images he had long since forgotten, including many rare and unpublished colour pictures which can be found in Mason's Yard to Primrose Hill. (Genesis Publications)'.
