The first major book to showcase internationally renowned photographer Bent Rej's seminal photographs of 1960s rock legends, including The Rolling Stones, The Beatles, The Who, The Kinks, Jimi Hendrix, Bob Dylan, and more.

In 1965, as a twenty-five-year-old photographer, Bent Rej was assigned by a Danish newspaper to cover The Rolling Stones' European tour. Rej developed an immediate rapport with the burgeoning British Invasion band, especially with Brian Jones, who became a close friend. As part of the Stones' entourage, he was soon swept into the bustling celebrity underworld of the late '60s London.

There, he met and photographed the band's notable peers, gaining unfettered access to the young musicians of the day who would go on to become legends. With a camera always on hand, Rej took some of the most iconic, behind-the-scenes shots of the most influential rock musicians of the era, including:

Mick Jagger

Keith Richards

John Lennon

Paul McCartney

Roger Daltrey

Pete Townshend

Ray Davies

And many more.

Featuring an insightful introduction and over 200 color and black-and-white photographs-both well-known and rare candid images-of the most beloved rock stars of a generation, this deluxe volume is an essential addition to the collections of rock fans, music historians, photography lovers, and devotees of 1960s culture and fashion. Crafted to the dimensions of a record album, it is an irresistible coffee table book any music lover will covet.
