This is The One, published by Who Said It Publishing, offers an exclusive glimpse into the world of The Stone Roses.

Limited to an edition of 1000 with over 250 unseen images and a signed silver gelatin print by Dennis Morris, This Is The One, priced at £295 and available from July, provides both an extraordinary view into the intoxicating world of The Stone Roses as well as a chapter of history charting fashions and trends of the 1990s for passionate fans and intrigued onlookers alike.

Morris’ images capture the visceral hysteria of the fans and unforgettable fashions of the time at Spike Island and Glasgow Green, both pivotal moments in the band’s history. Both concerts made epic impacts on future movements by crafting mass gatherings of youths and the return of a 1960s hallucinogenic type of crowd. Spike Island, although considered to be a failure at the time due to sound quality, is now perceived as ‘Woodstock for a baggy generation’.
