Limited edition: The first 350 of the 1965 copy edition are deluxe editions.
Binding: Hand-bound in antiqued leather, with gold blocking and page edging, the binding replicates Wood’s diary down to its original scuffs and scratches.
Extras: Loose-leaf facsimile items include posters, nightclub tickets and rare photographs. Within a folding case, Deluxe Copies include an exclusive artist-signed print. Numbered to match your book, this 8in x 6in Gicle is made on deckled edge art paper and is suitable for framing. Plus an exclusive 7\” disc. The 45rpm record features ‘How Can It Be?’ a song written by Wood for the Birds and recorded in 1965. The B-side unveils Ronnie Wood’s new specially made recording of the same song. Wood has created the artwork for this 7in picture disc – a cubist-style self-portrait, complete with guitar and 1965 diary.

In his new book, Ronnie Wood shares a series of original artworks inspired by the content of his diary. Friends and musicians such as The Who are featured, as are early musical influences such as Howlin’ Wolf. Others bring to life memories of everyday life: loading a van with his bandmates, or pushing a stalled car home. Drawings of the guitars and amps Wood used embellish his words – with new anecdotes often personally reproduced in Wood’s own calligraphy.

Historical memorabilia – including newspaper clippings, album artwork, concert posters and contracts – are also reproduced throughout the book, and in facsimile as additional loose-leaf items.

Ronnie Wood: ‘Our overspilling energy was enough to chase girls, write songs, rehearse, play… It was a continuous adventure.’

Ronnie Wood’s original handwritten diary is shared here for the first time, giving unique insight into his life and the period. With a new commentary of over 12,000 words, Ronnie Wood shares memories from the Birds, the Jeff Beck Group, the Faces, the Rolling Stones, and discusses musical peers and influences, including:

Ronnie Wood: ‘They capture the atmosphere. Some were done at the time, and others I’ve drawn from memory.’
