Christopher Simon Sykes had known Mick Jagger since the early Sixties when he was invited to travel with the Stones' to all 40 shows of their 1975 Tour Of The Americas. Asked to document the tour in its entirety he did just that. As well as an incredible archive of photographs - most of which have never been published before - and an astonishingly detailed diary, he kept every possible item of memorabilia, even hotel room keys.

'I wanted to make this book to be like the original proposal - a scrapbook of thoughts, images and memorabilia, so that the reader has the impression of being on the Starship, being backstage with Keith and Ronnie in the tuning room, on stage with Mick or at any of the parties.

Leafing through it reminds me that, contrary to my occasional belief that it was all a dream, I really was there, and it was one of the most extraordinary experiences of my life.'
