The Rolling Stones – A Visual Documentary

The Rolling Stones: A Visual Documentary is a large-format illustrated book chronicling the history of the Rolling Stones, written by British author and journalist Barry Miles and published by Omnibus Press in 1994.

Across 160 pages, the book documents more than thirty years of Stones history through an extensive collection of photographs, a detailed chronology, discography and key events from the band's career.

Over thirty years of Rolling Stones history

The story begins with the band's formation in the early 1960s and follows their career into the early 1990s: the arrival of Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Brian Jones, Charlie Watts and Bill Wyman, their explosion during the sixties, the infamous drug busts, the death of Brian Jones, subsequent guitarist changes and Bill Wyman's departure.

Barry Miles uses a chronological approach to document the events that shaped the Rolling Stones throughout their first three decades.

Photographs, discography, concerts and chronology

A Visual Documentary lives up to its title, with a major emphasis on photographs and visual material covering the different eras of the band.

The book also features an illustrated chronology, discography and concert listing, providing an extensive overview of the Stones' career. Its large 23 × 29 cm format gives plenty of space to the wealth of photographic material. 📚

Barry Miles and British counterculture

Barry Miles, often credited simply as Miles on his books from this period, was closely associated with London's 1960s counterculture. He has written extensively about music and popular culture and had previously published an illustrated Rolling Stones discography before producing this visual documentary.

Published in 1994, as the Rolling Stones entered the Voodoo Lounge era, the book is now a genuine period document covering the first three decades of the band's history.
