Rolling Stones: One On One Series is the definitive photo anthology of the band's landmark first American Tour


The Rolling Stones touched down on American soil in October 1965 to embark on the landmark tour that would make them stateside superstars. Until now, there has never been a large-scale comprehensive release devoted to photos from this pivotal pilgrimage. With Rolling Stones: One On One Series, a definitive 240-page, value-priced epic-fans can celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Stones by savoring that exact time in America when the band went from being an exotic English import to a household name.



In September 1965, a nineteen-year-old photographer in London named Gered Mankowitz received a phone call asking if he wanted to accompany the Rolling Stones on the band's first U.S. tour. The assignment: Photograph everything the up-and-coming Stones did in America. From the start, Mankowitz was made to feel like one of the boys. His privileged access to a world class band in its youthful prime was a once in a lifetime opportunity. He spent two months with this rock n' roll caravan as it made its way across Canada and the United States. Mankowitz's astounding photographs are both intimate and iconic as they breathtakingly narrate the band's meteoric rise to stardom. Throughout the sixties, his relationship with the band blossomed, and he documented the Stones' ongoing successes. Mankowitz also went on to shoot album covers for the seminal albums December's Children and Between the Buttons. Esteemed rock scribe Sean Egan adds insightful commentary alongside the photos, eloquently elaborating on this transformative time.



In time to celebrate 50 years of rock n' roll's most infamous institution, take an affordable trip back to the band's exciting beginnings. Rolling Stones: One On One Series is essential, not only for Stones fans, but also for rock n' roll fans. After all, the Rolling Stones are "The World's Greatest Rock N' Roll Band."



Gered Mankowitz is an accomplished photographer best known for his portraiture of rock musicians. His portfolio includes sessions with the Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix, Elton John, and George Harrison, among others.



Sean Egan writes for Billboard, Classic Rock, Record Collector, and Rolling Stone. He is the author of The Rough Guide to the Rolling Stones and The Rolling Stones (The Making of Let It Bleed).
