Andrew Loog Oldham was nineteen years old
when he discovered and became the manager and producer of an unknown band called The
Rolling Stones.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.
Ultra-hip,flash,brash and schooled in style by Mary Quant,he was a hustler of genius,addicted to scandal,notoriety and innovation.Brian Epstein had hired him to break the Beatles,but it was his thrilling
work with the Stones that turned him into a legend and introduced sex and hype to an
austere,conservative industry.A ferociously brilliant,near-mythical svengali-figure to many,a manipulative upper-class thug to others,he quickly established himself as the most mercurial and anarchic impresario of the decade.
'Stoned' is Andrew Loog Oldham's astonishing story told in his own words and those of his contemporaries captured in seventy original conversations.Mary Quant, Pete Townsend,Vidal Sassoon,Nik Cohn and Lionel Bart are among the colourful cast reassembled for this historic look at one of our era's most influential and elusive figures.
