Overview

By the start of 1966, The Rolling Stones position as rock gods was established. They were making serious money and splashing out on new homes and cars. Their official photographer was invited to shoot an 'At Home' session with each of the band. This is the first time his 'At Home' sessions have been collated and published. The photographs are relaxed, the band's ease with Mankowitz evident. There are moments of contemplation, intimacy and wit, and Mankowitz manages to capture something of an amused innocence to the whole concept, as if the five of them can't quite believe how far they have come.
