The Rolling Stones Book
Between 1964 and 1966, the Stones issued The Rolling Stones Book (also known as The Rolling Stones Monthly Book), the equivalent of the Beatles’ The Beatles Monthly Book, as well produced by British publishing company Beat Publications Ltd. The first issue came out on June 10 1964, and continued to be published monthly until November 1966, with a total of 30 numbers. Each one featured approximately thirty pages (size 8 X 6.25 inches) containing updated information about the group, as well as exclusive photos, interviews, song lyrics, etc. The Beatles Monthly Book closed down temporarily in the early ’70s, but it was revived later, first reprinting the originals, but then as a launching pad for UK Record Collector magazine, and finally shutting up in January 2003, while the Stones’ one had only the original edition.
Rolling Stones Monthly: The Fan Mag That Built the Legend
Rolling Stones Monthly, also known as The Rolling Stones Monthly Book, was a short-lived yet significant publication that contributed to the mythos surrounding the band. Released in the late 1960s, the magazine was designed to give fans an exclusive, behind-the-scenes look into the world of the Rolling Stones. It provided in-depth articles, photographs, and interviews, creating a unique space for fans to connect with the band on a more intimate level.

Each issue included photos from the band’s private life, as well as insight into their recording process and personal stories, offering fans a rare glimpse into the personalities and lives of the members beyond their public personas. The magazine’s blend of journalistic storytelling and visual artistry captured the raw energy of the Rolling Stones, further cementing their place in rock history.
Although Rolling Stones Monthly only lasted for a few issues, it remains an important piece of the band’s legacy, reflecting their impact on both music and culture during a transformative period in the late ’60s.
