The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus Book

An informative, behind-the-scenes account of the Circus film will accompany the images. As with any great show, the main event is supported by a wealth of talent that were in attendance. Alongside Michael’s spellbinding collection of black and white images, there will also be a selection of colour photographs depicting the event from our own rock ‘n’ roll archive.
This inspired and insightful book is co-written by Keith Badman and designer, artist and author Paul Skellett. This beautiful publication will feature many tales about the show; how 5-year-old, Julian Lennon, on the set that day with his dad and Yoko, was introduced to ‘Pot’; the anger and frustration by the performers when the innovative French movie cameras employed on the set kept packing up, how the fledg-ling Led Zeppelin was passed over as the opening act in favour of Jethro Tull and how the film shot that day went missing and was not found until 1989, 21 years after the event, languishing in band mate, Ian Stewart’s barn propped against some bales of hay, on the verge of being thrown out.Pictures and text combined, this will indeed serve as the ultimate deluxe publication of The Stones’ Rock ‘n’ Roll Circus, the very last major UK pop/ rock get-together of the 1960s, when some of the world’s best musicians of the day came together to play for one last time. Randolph’s wonderful images will be available in four formats.
