'People say I made the Stones. I didn't. They were there already. They only wanted exploiting. They were all bad boys when I found them. I just brought out the worst in them.'
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.
An ultra-hip mod, flash, brash and schooled in style by Mary Quant, he was a hustler of genius, addicted to scandal, notoriety and innovation.

Reviews for Stoned
Stoned is not a cautionary tale it's a celebration and carries the hope that any self-respecting impassioned young 19-year-old of today would do the same
Guardian
A sterling work of brutal youth and brash vulgarity... a heady mix of innocence and glamour, uppers and downers, flashiness and outrage, insouciance and deceit
Time Out
A dazzling overview of early 60s London life, Stoned is vastly aided by the testimony of everyone from Pete Townshend to Jimmy Greaves
G Magazines
A fascinating and original perspective on that heady moment when a buttoned-up Britain finally lost its innocence and...youth culture was born
Mail on Sunday
The most flash personality British pop ever had, the most anarchic and obsessive and imaginative hustler of all
