'A portrait of the life and death of Brian Jones, the founder of The Rolling Stones, rejects traditional stereotypes of an addicted and womanizing rock star for the often startling confidences of those who knew him best.'

'A fascinating new biography of the legendary Brian Jones, founder and inspiration of the world's greatest ever rock band, the Rolling Stones.
As supremely talented as he was good-looking, Brian Jones rose from humble beginnings in tha small English town of Cheltenham to conquer the fledgling blues scene of London in the early sixties. The brilliant, self-taught slide guitar player attracted the attention of blues greats like Alexis Korner with his passion and feeling for the music and his unrelenting ours suit of success. The fame Brian sought came quickly. In 1962 he formed the band that would become, with the possible exception of the Beatles, the most renowned rock 'n' roll band of all time, the Rolling Stones.
Tragically, the very success he sought would ultimately destroy him. Although a man possessed of immense talent and inexhaustible energy, Brian was tormented by personal demons which would eventually lead him to abandon the group and retreat into despair.
Like Janice Joplin and Jim Morrison, Brian Jones did not live to see his thirtieth birthday: On a warm summer evening in July 1969, he was found floating head-down in the pool of his beautiful fifteenth-century country estate. (continued on back flap)'
