Rolling Stones The Singles, a travel among the 45 RPM of Jagger & Richards band released for the Italian market The search for the many treasures written by Jagger-Richards (limited editions, singles radio, curiosities) is the spark that pushed Claudio Aloi, Franco Brizi, Stefano Dello Schiavo and Renzo Demaria to fill their stuff in Rolling Stones - The Singles (Applause Editions). The subtitle reports The most complete review of the single releases in Italy and succeeds in the task of goingbeyond a simple compilation of codes, dates and titles to become one map in which, page after page, the passion of a lifetime emerges. Something that enters you and stays there forever writes Claudio Scarpa in the preface.This is why the authors are specifying how at the time buying a single was a real one event, and whoever bought it was able to listen to it even 20 times a day for about ten days . Other times, obviously, not better or worse: simply different times. But always with the songs as a pivot.The book, dedicated to passionate collectors, poor of anecdotes to drive the focus on the released objects, examinating the period 1964-1985, historically marked by the publication of 45 RPM singles (from the juke box era until the raise of Compact Discs). Covers, labels of individual discs. All compared to understand who did this and who did that, and where you can look for in the fan markets that are displaying Stones memorabilia. The focus - to avoid dispersion- is on the Italian market (where the authors demonstrate a particular passion for Jagger and Richards' band). Not only. With chapters dedicated to solo careers, participations (where often some of Rolling Stones participated in the Beatles songs, confirming how much the press mounted up the fake legend of their rivalry!) and even juke box editions, this guide manages to recompose the long love story between Italy and the band. -- Hamilton Santia, La Stampa, 1st October 2021
