Gered Mankowitz's Masons Yard to Primrose Hill: 1965-1967 is an exceptional signed limited edition documenting one of the most formative periods in the history of The Rolling Stones through the lens of one of the band's earliest and most important photographers. Personally signed by acclaimed photographer Gered Mankowitz, this beautifully produced Genesis Publications volume presents an intimate photographic chronicle of the Stones during the explosive years from 1965 through 1967, when the group evolved from rising British rhythm and blues musicians into international rock icons.

This is copy number 53 from a signed limited edition of 1,750 copies. The limitation page is boldly signed by Gered Mankowitz in silver marker beneath the printed limitation statement. Also included is a full-page facsimile inscription reproduced from Keith Richards, reading, "Thanks Gered for such lovely snaps (may your Brownie live forever)," originally written to Mankowitz in 1965. The deluxe volume is housed in its original matching slipcase and published by Genesis Publications, renowned for producing some of the finest limited edition books devoted to music history.

Mankowitz served as the Rolling Stones' principal photographer during one of the band's most influential creative periods, enjoying extraordinary access both on and off stage. The volume features hundreds of striking black-and-white and color photographs capturing recording sessions, rehearsals, backstage moments, promotional appearances, candid portraits, and performances throughout Britain and beyond. Many of the photographs were previously unpublished at the time of release and are accompanied by Mankowitz's firsthand recollections, providing valuable historical context behind the images.

Among the highlights are intimate studio sessions, informal backstage scenes, promotional shoots, concert photography, and candid moments that reveal the personalities of Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Brian Jones, Bill Wyman, and Charlie Watts during the years surrounding the recording of such landmark albums as Aftermath and Between the Buttons. The result is an unparalleled visual document of the band's early creative development before they became one of the world's biggest rock acts.

Genesis Publications produced the volume to its customary museum-quality standards, with oversized pages, exceptional color reproduction, and premium binding housed within the original slipcase.
