Rolling Stones' secret tapes unearthed!
The entire interview is finally revealed!
The complete version of "Music Life's Rolling Stones Interview" is now available, including never-before-seen statements.
This DVD contains over 20 interviews, from his first interview in 1964 and a surprise interview in Jamaica in 1972, to his first visit to Japan in 1990 and a telephone interview in 1998.
Eight of the tapes were unearthed from the collection of Kaoruko Togo, the journalist who has interviewed the Stones more than any other person in Japan and former editor-in-chief of Music Magazine, and are now available for the first time in their entirety!
The book also features unpublished photos taken by Music Life photographers, as well as behind-the-scenes looks by Hoshika Rumiko (former ML editor-in-chief), Togo Kaoruko, and Hayashi Yoko (NY correspondent).
This is a collection of interviews by ML, who has been following the greatest rock and roll band of all time, that reveals the truth, true feelings, and true faces of the Stones at each stage.
