The Rolling Stones Book No. 1

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 thirty 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 Rolling Stones Book’ had only the original edition.

Featuring:
Mick Jagger editorial, Rolling Stones News, Bill Answers, A letter from fan club secretary Annabelle Smith, Brian Answers, Stones Posts, Charlie Answers, Keith Answers, Stones’ Gear, Mick Answers and The Discovery of The Stones (by Peter Jones)

Launch of The Rolling Stones Book No. 1

In June 1964, Beat Publications released The Rolling Stones Book No. 1, the official fan magazine dedicated to the band. Coming at the height of the Stones’ early popularity, the monthly offered fans an intimate look into the lives of Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Brian Jones, Charlie Watts, and Bill Wyman. It featured exclusive interviews, behind-the-scenes photos, fan letters, and band updates straight from the source.

A Key Piece of Stones History

This first issue set the tone for a fan-driven publication that ran for over two years. With content approved and sometimes written by the band members themselves, it became a trusted link between the Rolling Stones and their growing global fan base. The June 1964 debut remains a collector’s favorite, reflecting the energy of the British Invasion and the Stones’ rapid rise. It was more than a magazine—it was a window into a cultural movement. (Ref. Rolling Stones Book 1 1964)
