His radical vision transformed them from a starving south London blues combo to the Greatest Rock 'n' Roll Band That Ever Drew Breath, while the revolutionary strategies he used to get them there provoked both adulation and revulsion throughout British society and beyond.An ultra-hip mod, flash, brash and schooled in style by Mary Quant, he was a hustler of genius, addicted to scandal, notoriety and innovation. Fascinating glimpse into the life of the manager of the Rolling Stones. The guy is an interesting, ego-mad hustler, but smart as hell (he's also my favorite DJ on Sirius Satellite Radio).
A lot of what he did with the Stones was taken to the nth degree later by people like Peter Grant and (especially) Malcolm McClaren with the Sex Pistols. Still this is a breezy, gossipy read with some of the most fascinating rock and roll characters ever, including the Beatles (he was their London publicist for Fascinating glimpse into the life of the manager of the Rolling Stones.

Still this is a breezy, gossipy read with some of the most fascinating rock and roll characters ever, including the Beatles (he was their London publicist for a short while), members of Led Zeppelin (he used Jones and Page in session work), Phil Spector, on and on. The Stones don't even come in until page 180 or so and the book ends in the Spring of 1963 when, career-wise, things are just starting to get interesting.The structure is unique - he's taken quotes from other people (both interviews and existing works) to provide context of what he was doing. One of them made a comment I hadn't considered before about the Beatles and the Stones - basically saying that the Beatles were lower-to-middle class kids pretending to be upper class while the Stones were upper class kids pretending to be lower class.

The third or more of the book leading up to his encounter and start of the relationship with the Rolling Stones drags pretty hard, and the second half is much more entertaining. This one is for fairly hard core music nuts like me. A lot of us will never forgive Oldham for his greed when it comes down to The Verve's Bitter Sweet Symphony - have a share by all means, you deserve that, but don't take it all, Andrew - but nonetheless as the manager who helped take The Rolling Stones to the very top, he has a story worth telling. And with the help of a large cast of friends and former colleagues, etc, that story is well told here.

OK, Oldham maybe tries a little too hard and comes on a little bit too flowery in his style at times, but overall that isn't too off-putting and there is much to enjoy if you are interested in 60's Pop and fashion. Stoned ends rather suddenly but it does leave us wanting more. So I guess I will have to read the sequel sometime!
I have read 3 of ALO's books. This was his first, following by 2Stoned and Stone Free.Stoned tells how he came to know the Stones and, using a combination of strong will and connection in the Music Biz, set them on the road to stardom.The format of the book is unique in my experience, consisting entirely of paragraphs of quotes from all the main players, backed up with a massive index. Don't worry though, you'll be used to it after 30 minutes.I've never been I have read 3 of ALO's books.

Don't worry though, you'll be used to it after 30 minutes.I've never been a great fan of Sixties culture (I'm just a little too young), but ALO made me interested in that this book was hard to put down, the sign of a great writer. You can't ask for any more than that. It takes a certain type of genius to turn the late 50s - early 60s music and social revolution into a drab, turgid and frankly very stale book. This appears to have been loosely written by such a genius; ALO, but hugely embellished with large quotes from other sources giving a very uneven and choppy feel.Skim read the final 50 or so pages as the longer the book drew on the more irritating it became.
