Description: In 1963, Gus Coral began photographing a little-known band called the Rolling Stones as they embarked on their first tour - a 36-night stand through Northern England, where they performed with their idols Bo Diddley, Little Richard, and the Everly Brothers. It was the landmark moment when American R&B met British rock 'n' roll, and the tour turned the Rolling Stones from struggling performers into the legendary band that thirty years later continues to play to sold-out houses.

The result of Coral's work is an intimate and candid collection of over sixty never-before published photographs of the Rolling Stones, very likely the first ever taken of the group. Here the greatest rock 'n' roll band is seen on the verge of stardom - in the dressing room, onstage, and in the studio where they recorded their first hit record, "I Wanna Be Your Man."
