"Uptight With The Stones"

This is a hardcover book with dust jacket from 1973.           The author is Richard Elman.

'Richard Elman traveled with The Rolling Stones on their 1972 tour of the South.   This is his report - an intimate, graphic, sardonic account of what it was like.  It shows the Stones on-stage and off, particuarly Mick Jagger.   It catches the world of groupies, record magnates, security guards, and celebrities determined to be with-it.  Above all, the book conveys a sense of what the Stones have to do - "Manipulate an undifferentiated multitude."  For The Rolling Stones in action are now a highly contrived operation; and, Elman says , Mick Jagger's famous style has become "an active repudiation of the joyful experience it purports to be about."

About Me :

I started collecting records in 1966.     I started selling records in Goldmine in 1985.      I now sell records at all Northwest record conventions : Portland, Seattle, Tacoma, Olympia, Port Townsend, Eugene, Grants Pass, and Canby.       And at Crossroads Music in Portland, Oregon.     On Discogs I am 'Fragilerecords'.       My records are from a no smoking and no pets home.      I am a record collector, not a DJ, so I almost never play my records.         I only have a few posters, magazines, press kits, sheet music, and flyers.

Packaging :

I take great care on every package and I do each one personally.        It will be sealed in a plastic bag.        I will package it with cardboard on the top, on the bottom, and on the sides.        I use hand cut composite cardboard that won't get bent.     The package will say "BOOK" in red on both sides.
