{"product_id":"9781608199228","title":"50 Licks: Myths and Stories from Half a Century of the Rolling Stones","description":"On July 12, 1962, London’s Marquee Club debuted a new act, a blues-inflected rock band named after a Muddy Waters song - The Rolling Stones. They were a hard-edged band with a flair for the dramatic, styling themselves as the devil’s answer to the sainted Beatles.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA young, inexperienced producer named Andrew Loog Oldham first heard the band at a session he remembers with four words: ’I fell in love.’ Though unfamiliar with such basic industry practices as mixing a recording, he made a brilliant decision - he pitched the band to a studio that had passed on the Beatles. Afraid to make the same mistake twice, they signed the Stones, and began a history-making career.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is just one of the 50 classic stories that make up \u003ci\u003e50 Licks\u003c\/i\u003e. Many are never-before told, some are from exclusive interviews - including with elusive bassist Bill Wyman - and all are illustrated and told by the people who lived them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHalf a century on, the Rolling Stones are still the greatest band working. And this is the book to commemorate their unparalleled achievement in rock music.","brand":"Bloomsbury USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47134969200880,"sku":"9781608199228","price":10.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781608199228_p0.jpg?v=1763834990","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781608199228","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
