Summary: At Last....
Review: ....new material about The Rolling Stones. As an insider Phelge provides new depth to the men behind the music. It's nice to finally have it confirmed that Keith, Mick, Brian, Bill, and Charlie are just regular guys. This one will sit in my collection right next to my Phelge-Autographed underpants. Thanks Jimmy.

Summary: Better then the last ten Stones albums
Review: A real gem of a book. Genuinely hilarious in its depictions of some estranged young men and a very staid early 60's England. Also oddly melancholic, about a guy left behind when his pals become superstars. Phelge stepped aside, and Keith never bothered to look him up. Such is life. But the stories are wickedly funny. I must say I wonder how much has been embroidered by years of yarn spinning down the pub, nonetheless it mostly rings true and you're a fool not to read this.

Summary: Phelge's Stones
Review: About two years ago I bought "Phelge's Stones", it's the only book about the Stones in the early years which tells the real story.. If you want to know who throws fireworks in his own car, you've to read this one :)

Summary: See a side you've never seen before.
Review: Definitely if you're a Rolling Stones fan, it is essential to read this book. As someone who has read quite a few supposed "biographies" of the Stones, I can tell you that I have not yet found one as genuine, funny, heart-warming and well-written as the story James Phelge relates of those early struggles at Edith Grove.If you're not a Stones fan, read this book anyway. Because not too far into this book you soon forget that this is about the early years of men who are now known as "The Greatest Rock and Roll Band in the World". This book is simply about four guys sharing a flat in London in the 60's, and the fun and hardships involved in their lives at that time. This is the story of a struggling band, of young men, of lives money poor, but rich in friendship. It is the story of men who follow their hearts. You will laugh out loud, and perhaps even find a tear in your eye. I only wish I could give this book an extra star.

Summary: Nankering with the Rolling Stones
Review: Excellent! No true Stones fan should be without this book. It is the definitive work on the historic beginings of the "Greatest Rock and Roll Band in the World" -- we see the boys in a much different light than any book has portrayed them previously. Emphasis is more on personalities than music. The only book coming close is Bill Wyman's "Stone Alone," actually, this book covers the period prior to Bill's entrance on the scene. If you are interested in the early beginings of the Stones there are 3 books I strongly recommend: "Nankering With the Rolling Stones," "Our Own Story" by the Stones themselves, published in 1965--I believe this is the FIRST book ever written about the group and by the group (out of print for years but well worth the effort in attempting to find it)and "Stone Alone." If you have these books you have a wealth of knowledge as to the inner workings of the Rolling Stones from the very begining (when Brian was deffinitely THE leader).

Summary: A True Story About The Stone
Review: I know this book as " Phelge's Stones". What an absolute joy it was to read a well written account of the early " before they were famous" years. It is really refreshing to know that the megastars as we know them today were one day just like you and me. Well done Phelge I can't wait for another instalment.

Summary: The Story We've Waited to Hear
Review: I read this book last year in it's first edition form. Jimmy Phelge pulls no punches in his story of the Stones' early years. What I think will be a real treat for Stones fans is the glimpse into their personalities before they had "manufactured" ones. This is especially true in the excerpts about Brian Jones. The reader can really experience how Brian was the initial driving force on their road to success, and the early seeds of his eventual self destruction. A definite must read!

Summary: The Roots of the Greatest Rock'n'Roll Band in the World
Review: I read this book last year, when it was called Phelge's Stones (the front cover was a little bit more otrageous, but I liked it) and I had most fun and informations from it than from all the books about the Rolling Stones that I read. Here you can find all the little things that made the Stones so great. It's a real book written by a real person, who lived with them in that dirty flat in Edith Grove, 102 ... and when you read it, you can smell it. I felt like being there with those guys ... what a story! Thank you Phelge for all the fun and other things you shared with the world.
