UNUSUAL
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
Bent certainly captured the uniqueness of Brian Jones and his Stones in this collection. Much humor was filmed that many can say is absolutely priceless! Especially Mr. Jones camping in his undergarments. Those were the days!
Beginning was great!

Thanks author and Bill Wyman for their work. Happy to see people from 1960-s. Think, that new volume about Brian Jones' Rolling Stones is great addition to the histiry of the Great Rock'n'roll band and to the history of the our papas and grandfathers' generation. Photos are fine. We can see them only in magazines and fanzines from early 1960s. But quality of prints is better here, in the "RS in the Beginning"
The early stones in photographs
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
Nostalgic and revealing, Bent Raj's book is probably for the long-term Stones fan. The youthful innocence, the images of a band not yet having conquered all before them come across clearly and beautifully. The hysteria of the early gigs leaps from the pages. Most wistful of all are the photos of Brian Jones before the fall. All in all a tome which has you looking forward to the Gered Mancowitz edition of photos as the band move into what Keith called 'the Stones Mach 2.'

Fantastic book-You have every Stones book? This offers photos never published, and if they were, they were in now relatively obscure European Teen Magazines--I was familiar with many of the photos shot by Bent Rej as I have been a Stones collector since day 1-many of the fantastic Stones shots that were on British and European Teen magazine covers-as well as several hundred I've seen IN pages of these magazines (i.e. RAVE, BEAT INSTRUMENTAL, BIG BEAT, etc.) were shot by Bent, and uncreditied-Bent rounded up all of these plus a TON more...Just amazing..great book...great photos...Thanks Bent!!

An intimate peek into the early Stones
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
The Rolling Stones: In the Beginning by Bent Rej is a marvelous look at the behind the scenes life of the Rolling Stones before they became the band we are so familiar with. As the book tells us, Bent Rej had unprecedented access to the band when they made their first European tour. Many of the photographs come from this trip. Chapters are devoted to each band member, including Brian Jones. In addition sections are devoted to Munster, Dusseldorf/Essen, Hamburg, Munich, Berlin, Vienna and Copenhagen. Other chapters entitled are Changing Times, 1965-1966, A Year of Satisfaction, Got Live If You Want It, Charlie Watts, etc. Thoroughly enjoyable, many of these photos have never been made public before. This is a must look/read if you're a Stone's fan.
