Will Nash’s new special limited edition book about Ian Stuart – “Stu”

Ian Stewart – 18 July 1938 – 12 December 1985

It is thirty five years since Rolling Stones co-founder Ian Stewart prematurely died in the waiting room of a Harley Street surgery. Stu as he was known was much mourned and is still greatly missed by family and friends as well as former band-mates. Acknowledged as the sixth Stone he was inducted as a member of the Rolling Stones posthumously into the Rock’n’Roll Hall of Fame in 1989.

In 2003 Will Nash’s Private Press Out-Take published a Private 950 copy edition book (with print) that paid tribute to Stu through the contributions of over 80 individuals and twenty photographers.  – Click here to see the original Press Release.  This set still remains the only book to feature extensive contributions from all six surviving members of the Rolling Stones as well as many other friends and working colleagues of Ian’s. The book is regarded as the most collectable of all books on the Rolling Stones (including Exile which Will Nash compiled and edited) due to it’s scarcity and unique content.

“‘Stu’, the new special limited edition book by Out-Take is nothing short of amazing. When I went through it the first time, my eyes welled up with tears of joy and sentimental memories. The photographs, both the ones of Stu and the ones taken by him are so incredible, telling a story all themselves. The text by those of us that knew and worked with him, including all the Stones, Jeff Beck, Jimmy Page and so many others paint a true and loving picture of him as a player, a friend and as the wonderful man he was. As for the presentation and quality of the book, I’ve simply never seen better. It’s beautiful to look at, beautiful to hold and a beautiful tribute to one of the best-loved musicians ever known.” – Chuck Leavell
