Another From The Vaults-series with a 1998 show on audio and video (see also June 21, 2019 entry), but this one is different, as the recording (from Buenos Aires 05.04.1998) was not already circulating, it was totally new even for the die hard collectors. And it has a special guest appearance by Bob Dylan on Like A Rolling Stone. The Japanese edition has got some exclusive bonus again - footage from the press conference in NYC August 18, 1997 and interviews with all four Stones from the same day! Available here.

Jo Wood took loads of pictures (regular and polaroids) in her life and times with the Rolling Stones and especially with Ronnie. After her entertaining autobiography ('Hey Jo', 2013) she now compiled a photo book with more than 500 hundred of her previously unseen private snapshots. They're a feast for every Rolling Stone fan. Hardcover book, 260 pages. Available here.

Already recorded in June 2016 and finally released: Sheryl Crow's cover version of the Voodoo Lounge deep track The Worst. It's main-composer Keith Richards plays guitars, bass and piano (and does some vocals), producer Steve Jordan also plays drums and Sheryl plays keyboards and sings. That's the whole line-up - very good version, but not as outstanding as the original. Available here.

1969 was a highly interesting year for the The Rolling Stones (line-up change, death of Brian Jones, Hyde Park, triumphant live comeback on the US tour with it's anti-climax Altamont, Let It Bleed-album, Muscle Shoals-recordings, etc.). Author Patrick Humphries depicts all these events in detail in this interesting read on 332 pages (incl. 16 pages of photos). Paperback, £14.99. Available here.

New York City might be the second most important city to the Roling Stones (after London). Author McKittrick did a diligent cut and paste job putting together all NYC-based info he could get hold of, which makes an entertaining read. Unfortunately he forgot to state his sources (i.e. he took lots of info from Beggars Banquet-fanzine) and the book includes (apart from the nice cover photo) no photos at all. Paperback, 246 pages. Available here.
