Although the phrase ''best rock n' roll band in the world‟ may not be entirely accurate when speaking of The Rolling Stones in the second decade of the third millennium, for the first 20 years of their career it was an accolade that quite simply was not in doubt. And while the years 1962 and 1966 are not often flagged up by critics as their very finest, many would disagree, citing the era of Satisfaction, The Last Time, Mother’s Little Helper, Have You Seen Your Mother Baby and so many other classics as the time when The Stones truly were unbeatable.
Born Under A Bad Sign examines this early part of their career, and with the help of archive interview material with the band themselves plus contributions from those who worked closely with them, such as their friend and P.R. Keith Altham, bodyguard Tom Keylock, early Stones member Dick Taylor, Melody Maker‟s Chris Welch and many others, plus rare and classic performance footage, numerous rare and previously seldom seen photos, location shoots and a host of other features, this film will prove a delight for every Stones fan in existence as it sheds a uniquely informative light on the early career of this extraordinary group.
