Imagine strolling through a flea market in LA and opening up an old box only to discover 23 never seen before photos of the Rolling Stones.
That's exactly what happened to musician Lauren White when a clueless stall holder called her over thinking she looked like a "muso" type who may want them.
“I feel lucky. I really didn’t expect to find them at a flea market. […] I obviously knew it was the Stones, but it took about a week of looking them over to realize that this was really a very unique circumstance. After extensive research, I came to find that these are unpublished, never-before-seen photos of one of the most legendary bands in rock ‘n’ roll history. Not only that, they are beautifully composed, candid, raw and perfect in every way. They really convey a band innocent to their destiny.”
— Lauren White, interview with cool hunting
The candid photos are from an American tour in 1956, only three years into the bands career.
At this stage the photographer remains unknown!
