Heart of Stone: The Definitive Rolling Stones Discography, 1962-1983

Book by Aeppli, Felix

Surprisingly, this is the first comprehensive and the only up-to-date English-language Stones discography in print. Far more detailed than Roy Carr's The Rolling Stones: an illustrated record (1976), it lists ``all musical recordings . . . that found their way onto record or film from July 1962 to December 31, 1983.'' Each exhaustive entry notes recording date and location, songs recorded, song composer(s), release information, session musicians, and producer(s). The film release entries list medium, interviews, songs performed, and full production credits when available. There are separate sections on the Stones' solo activities and on bootlegs: 430 singles, EPs, and LPs. A thorough series of indexes cross-references every title and musician appearing in the 4077 entries. An exceptional reference work sure to be in demand in academic and larger public libraries.
