The Rolling Stones, 1963-1969: Behind-the-Scenes Snapshots
Czech-born photographer Dezo Hoffmann took roughly one million snapshots of rock's biggest names before his death in 1986. While Hoffmann is perhaps best known for his work with the Beatles, he also had extensive access to countless other major stars – including the Rolling Stones. Online gallery Rock Paper Photo has put together an impressive collection of Hoffman's greatest Stones photos, like the one shown here of the band at Richmond, London's Crawdaddy Club in May 1963. Read on for 14 more iconic shots, available exclusively here.
