The rest of the title: A Season in Hell with the Rolling Stones. The Rolling Stones just left England for tax reasons, I guess people that own their songs, etc haven't been paying taxes & now the band owes them--maybe not too sure about that. Keith Richards has rented a mansion in south France and rest of band gets places nearby. Not as much in the book about the making of this album, sounds like some songs came from earlier sessions but didn't make the earlier records. A lot of talk about the people and going ons at the mansion--the drug use, crazy happenings, crazy hours, etc. Just a different time with the end of the '60s and many many people around them all becoming addicts too. I thought I would enjoy this book more since I really like this album but was just okay. Still a good dive into what was happening back then.
There are no copies in PBS system but this will go as a keeper with some other Rolling Stones books I have.
