Massimo Bonanno new book: Aftermath

THE ROLLING STONES AFTERMATH (<--order here)

This deeply researched 430-page book offers a staggering and complete new view to the whole career of the Rolling Stones, from the very early days at dawn of the 60’s, when the future band members as many teenagers of that time, found themselves caught by the new, sudden wind blowing from America called rock’n’roll, to the current days corporate mega-tours across the world. In the interim the ‘greatest rock’n’roll
band in the world’ not only changed the music scene, but also the world and our society. After an introduction based on the latest band’s global performances at the Super Bowl in America and the free concert in Rio de Janeiro, the opening part describes how the band was formed, from the hard early days striving to get gigs, to the arrival of Andrew Oldham, the young, flamboyant PR-man who became their shrewd manager and producer. The work is both new and unique since it covers the Stones’career album by album, or CD by CD as we say these days; from their
first album released in 1964 to the last one, “A Bigger Bang” issued in 2005. With exclusive photos by Tamara Guo, the book is packed with informations available nowhere else: for each album the author provides dates of the recording sessions, the studios, the producers, the sound engineers, the tracks, also the unreleased ones, the musicians other than the Rolling Stones themselves and how the records did both in the British and American charts. Tours accompanying the records releases are
also fully and deeply covered, each one with dates, venues, song list, and supporting acts. Touring became corporate early in the 80’s and rock’n’roll lost its innocence, yet the Rolling Stones mean not only music, but also busts, glamour, tragedies, gossips and the alike and everything is set in the work, so that each album or CD focalises over a particular year or years in a journey into the past and into the music that made the soundtrack of our lives. Although over the years several books have been published on the ‘greatest rock’n’roll band in the world,’ none of them comes close to “Aftermath”.

Rolling Stones in the beginning

From March 1965 to May 1966, photographer Bent Rej enjoyed unique access to The Rolling Stones, having become one of the trusted inner circle of friends and associates, accompanying them on their first full European outing: the Satisfaction tour. This extraordinary book presents Rej's collection of intimate photographs of this charismatic group of young musicians, and revealing a forgotten time in the history of rock. Revelling in the first fruits of popular success (many of the photographs show the band members in their first homes), they are nevertheless unaware of what the future will hold. Only Mick Jagger begins to pose self-consciously in front of the lens, and it is only with hindsight that we realise that at this point The Rolling Stones were perched on the edge of the heights - or abyss - of superstardom.

Exile on Main St

Exile is exactly what rock'n'roll should sound like: a bunch of musicians playing a bunch of great songs in a room together, playing off of each other, snare drum rattling away even while not being hit, amps humming, bottles falling, feet shuffling, ghostly voices mumbling on and off-mike, whoops of excitement, shouts of encouragements, performances without a net, masks off, urgency. It is the kind of record that goes beyond the songs themselves to create a monolithic sense of atmosphere. It conveys a sense of time and place and spirit, yet it is timeless. Its influence is still heard today. Keith Richards has said, tongue in cheek, the record "was the first grunge record".

Tracing the creation of Exile on Main St. from the original songwriting done while touring America through the final editing in Los Angeles, Bill Janovitz explains how an album recorded by a British band in a villa on the French Riviera is pure American rock'n'roll. Looking at each song individually, Janovitz unveils the innovative recording techniques, personal struggles, and rock'n'roll mythmaking that culminated in this pivotal album.

Bill Janovita is a singer, guitarist, and songwriter in the band Buffalo Tom. He has also released three solo albums. He has written extensively for the All Music Guide online site www.allmusic.com . He lives in Massachusetts.
