It's been 50 years since Rolling Stones has been creating music. To celebrate this, an eBook (the first of a two-part series) was launched recently, titled 50 years: The Rolling Stones Views from the Inside, Views from the Outside. Excerpts from an email interview with Matthias W rfl, publisher, the eBook People GmbH
What were some of the stumbling blocks and challenges while profiling arguably, one of the world’s most popular bands?
It was very difficult to negotiate with all the publishing houses to negotiate the licensing fees as such a project has never happened before. Another big task was to scan all the articles in those archives. These two processes took us about five months.
How long did the process take from idea to final product?
Probably nine months. The idea came up last year some weeks before Christmas and we published in July 2012.
