Sanchez’s grandsons decided to start sharing his collection of photos with the world, and now run his estate, Spanish Tony Media.
The photographs will be on display at a gallery in Notting Hill in an exhibition titled The Rolling Stones – Elegantly Wasted from Feb 29 to March 5.
Mr Bayliss said: “One will never see pictures like this of The Rolling Stones again. No one [else] had this level of access to them and then was allowed to snap away.
“These pictures show the Stones as never seen before. Tony is a fascinating figure: drug dealer, writer, photographer – a true freewheeling spirit that in my mind perfectly encapsulates the century he occupied.
“I spent months trawling through Tony’s archive – thousands of negatives and contact sheets – and am blown away by Tony’s unique eye and the quality of these images. Fans and collectors alike are in for a real treat.”
Matt Dominguez, director of Spanish Tony Media, said: “This is a rare opportunity to see unique and unseen images of the band.
“Naturally there has been a lot of interested collaborators, however we chose to work with Oliver Bayliss due to his love of the band, his strong reputation and his ideas on exhibiting the collection tastefully.”
