Comprehensive visual history of the "World's Greatest Rock & Roll Band" as told through the recording of their monumental catalog, including 29 studio and 24 compilation albums, and more than a hundred singles.

Since 1963, The Rolling Stones have been recording and touring, selling more than 200 million records worldwide. While much is known about this iconic group, few books provide a comprehensive history of their time in the studio. In The Rolling Stones All the Songs, authors Margotin and Guesdon describe the origin of their 340 released songs, details from the recording studio, what instruments were used, and behind-the-scenes stories of the great artists who contributed to their tracks.

Organized chronologically by album, this massive, 704-page hardcover begins with their 1963 eponymous debut album recorded over five days at the Regent Studio in London; through their collaboration with legendary producer Jimmy Miller in the ground-breaking albums from 1968 to 1973; to their later work with Don Was, who has produced every album since Voodoo Lounge. Packed with more than 500 photos, All the Songs is also filled with stories fans treasure, such as how the mobile studio they pioneered was featured in Deep Purple's classic song "Smoke on the Water" or how Keith Richards used a cassette recording of an acoustic guitar to get the unique riff on "Street Fighting Man."

Title: Love this book!
Review: I love, love, love this book! It is not quite ALL the songs (e.g., "Do You Think I Really Care" gets a couple of mentions, but no detailed discussion), as the title proclaims, but it still comes damn close. Fascinating details about the making of each Stones single/album/EP song, great photos, and fun trivia information. If you love the Stones' music, and want someone to "lift the hood" for you and show you some of went into the making of it, this is the book for you. -- Tim (Los Angeles, CA)

Title: Present for my 86 year old mother
Review: I found a used copy rated as "like new" for my 86 year old mother, who originally saw Elvis in Mississippi in 1955, and went with the times, she was, and is, a devoted fan of the Rolling Stones. She was thrilled to have all the lyrics in addition to the brief note pertaining to each song. It is certainly a very nice book, especially finding a very nice used copy.I don't bother to shop for books to read from anywhere else but Amazon.

Title: ORIGINS AND DETAILS FROM '63 THROUGH 2005.
Review: I thought I'd write a short review if this book in case there's anyone whose not familiar with previous similar books on other artists.This 695 page tome (not including Index, Bibliography, Glossary) will be familiar to those who own the Dylan or Beatles books with the same premise. Beginning with "Come On" from 1963 up through "Bigger Bang" from 2005, all the official tunes the band recorded are here. Info for those not familiar with either of the above books includes composer, release date, musicians, studio, record label and number. Plus there's an essay for every song that helps put the music into perspective plus period photos.Included is a Forward, an essay on how the band came together, a piece on Ian Stewart ("the sixth Stone"), and a piece on Andrew Loog Oldham. Plus there's a Glossary, a much needed Index, and a Bibliography. The book is full of both color and b&w photos, some of which will be familiar while others less so. And it's many of the period photos that really add even more depth to the text, helping to give a better picture (no pun intended) of any particular song/year. The albums themselves are also represented by short essays (including short sidebars "For Stones Addicts") that also add more depth to the music, including the "Stone Age: The Album That Should Never Have Been Released!", or two pages on the guitars (check out Richard's beautiful Gibson Les Paul in full color) used by Richards and Jones for the "Beggar's Banquet sessions among other details.Like other similar books, is all the information complete and correct? It depends on how deep you go into the book's information. In an undertaking such as this there will be errors. But overall this is a good book to use when you want info on a specific tune or to simply crack it open for a scan of the band's music. Bottom line--if you're a Stones fan this is an informative (and fun) look at the band's music from across their long history. Open this book to virtually any song and you will more than likely learn something you didn't know plus a look at some great photos.

Title: Everything You Want to Know
Review: All the Songs is the perfect guide to the music of The Rolling Stones. Learn the background of every album and the details of every song recorded in the studio. There is a wealth of information included plus hundreds of pictures. A great book, their is a similar book by the same authors about The Beatles. Check them both out!

Review: Excelente livro que traz informações, organizadas cronologicamente por álbum, de inúmeras canções dos Rolling Stones. Curiosidades sobre as músicas como bastidores das sessões de gravação, inspirações para as letras e os músicos que tocam em cada faixa são mencionados aqui.O livro não traz as letras em si, mas o que está por trás das canções. É um livro de bastidores das músicas e álbuns da banda.Livro lançado em 2016 antes do álbum Blue & Lonesome, desta forma, o livro aborda até a coletânea lançada em 2012 (que havia sido o álbum anterior da banda).São quase 400 músicas abordadas aqui.Diversas fotos também aparecem ao longo das páginas.Texto bastante interessante que não dá vontade de parar de ler. São 700 páginas que passam voando de tão interessantes.Altamente essencial para fãs de The Rolling Stones e recomendado para todos que gostam de saber a respeito dos bastidores do Rock 'n' Roll.Vale lembrar: texto em inglês.Excelente aquisição!
