The author was Brian Jones's best friend during the months immediately prior to Brian leaving his hometown of Cheltenham for London and his eventual founding of the Rolling Stones.
They shared good times, bad times, money, food, cigarettes, booze, revelations, depressions, views and philosophies.
In those last ten months they had participated in an intensely musical learning period with its high and low points, its exultations, its disagreements and disappointments.
What started off as an evangelical mission for Brian to spread the music of the Chicago Blues around Britain ended up in the creation of the most enduring Rock and Roll band in the world.
'Foundation Stone - The Legacy Tracks' is a cut-down version of the full book, Foundation Stone - the Influences and Shaping of Brian Jones - Founder of the Rolling Stones. It concentrates solely on the musical references and influences of the then unsuspecting rock star who was, Brian Jones.
Ear Candy Magazine's review says:
'I highly recommend this book to any fan of Brian Jones. And also to any fan of the Rolling Stones so that they can see the true genesis and mindset that created the band. It covers a unique aspect of the Brian Jones story that is often glossed over – his very motivation.'
While Ugly Things says:
'The story itself is thoughtfully told with a fine eye for the small but important details that make the picture whole. Here is a Brian Jones not yet corrupted by pop star decadence, a Brian Jones not yet broken down by drugs, paranoia and musical compromise, a Brian Jones still alive without the shroud of murder, mystery and conspiracy. Here, perhaps for the first time, is the real Brian Jones: friend, musician, Foundation Stone.'
Purchase of this ebook qualifies the buyer for a discount off the price of the full book, when it is published, which in its turn qualifies the buyer to a special photographic offer.
