Download or read book The Rolling Stones All the Songs Expanded Edition written by Philippe Margotin and published by Black Dog & Leventhal. This book was released on 2022-01-18 with total page 1126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Comprehensive visual history of the "World's Greatest Rock & Roll Band" as told through the recording of their monumental catalog, including 29 studio and 24 compilation albums, and more than a hundred singles. Since 1963, The Rolling Stones have been recording and touring, selling more than 200 million records worldwide. While much is known about this iconic group, few books provide a comprehensive history of their time in the studio. In The Rolling Stones All the Songs, authors Margotin and Guesdon describe the origin of their 340 released songs, details from the recording studio, what instruments were used, and behind-the-scenes stories of the great artists who contributed to their tracks. Organized chronologically by album, this massive, 704-page hardcover begins with their 1963 eponymous debut album recorded over five days at the Regent Studio in London; through their collaboration with legendary producer Jimmy Miller in the ground-breaking albums from 1968 to 1973; to their later work with Don Was, who has produced every album since Voodoo Lounge. Packed with more than 500 photos, All the Songs is also filled with stories fans treasure, such as how the mobile studio they pioneered was featured in Deep Purple's classic song "Smoke on the Water" or how Keith Richards used a cassette recording of an acoustic guitar to get the unique riff on "Street Fighting Man."

But the tragic irony was that she had fallen victim to a botched robbery attempt, after only recently surviving being held hostage by international terrorists. Elke Braumann—an undercover German BND intelligence officer—had been crucial in rescuing Mia and her friends from those terrorists, bringing to a successful end her first mission, after nearly eight years under cover. With its completion, Elke had returned to her life at the BND and the new challenges it offered, completely unaware of Mia’s untimely demise. It isn’t until three years later, when Mia’s name starts popping up in analyses of intercepted communications from the Chinese Government, that Elke starts to question Mia’s fate, as well as her involvement in things she would have been better off leaving alone. In pursuit of the truth, Elke will have to reconnect with ghosts from her past as she tries to unravel international conspiracies connecting the unlikeliest of allies, from the Chinese Government and the CIA to her very own BND.
