Get this on great products!

Reuters recently reported that the Rolling Stones will be marking the band's 50th anniversary by way of an "...exhibition photos and an accompanying book".  The 352 page book will be hitting stores today (12 July 2012), and selling for around $50.00.  More importantly,  according to the article (which appears in it's entirety here) there are also rumors of a tour.  Some excerpts from the article:  

• Guitarist Richards said this week that the Stones have met up for "a couple of rehearsals", fanning the fire of rumors that a new world tour may be in the works.  "We're playing around with the idea and had a couple of rehearsals - we've got together and it feels so good."

• The exhibition photos and an accompanying book track the rise of a group of fresh-faced British boys who played their first gig at Oxford Street's Marquee Club in 1962, became the scourge of the establishment in the 1960s, the titans of 70s music and finally the elder statesmen of rock n' roll in the 21st century.

• "There was no sort of master plan," Richards says on the band's official website rollingstones.com. "We were flying by the seat of our pants. That is what amazes me, that the whole thing was improvised."

Hard to believe the Stones are marking fifty years.  Some argue that Ian Dury was the person who coined the phrase, "Sex, Drugs and Rock & Roll", but no other band epitomized the phrase or lived the lifestyle like the Rolling Stones.
