The wait is finally over, and for my patience i was justly rewarded! As soon as you hear the first strains of street fighting man you praise the wonders of digital remastering technology! The track listings really do speak for themselves and Licks pales Jump Back into insignificance. The two CDs really are what it says on the label - the definitive Stones collection. With early classics from the London Years of the band - Get Offa My Cloud, Satisfaction, Jumpin Jack Flash and Sympathy for the Devil - its worth buying just to be able to listen to these sounding better than they did first time around!
Combine these with other rock master tunes no stones fan is without - Start Me Up, Brown Sugar, It's Only Rock n Roll to name a very few, and then mix with the new offerings from the greatest rock band ever to walk the planet (I personally reccommend Keef's track Losing My Touch - the last word of the album and boy does he put it well!). Overall the best of the best of the best from the cream of rock and roll, sounding better than ever (if that's possible!) A DEFINITE must have for any respected fan, but also for anyone who doesn't remember it all first time around! Just one word of warning - get those air guitars tuned - it's infectiously rocky! Bring on the UK tour!

Lord Keef and co deliver forty of the almost best from a back catalogue that goes back - er forty years. I say 'almost' because they're bound to have left out your favourite.
(mine's Moonlight Mile since you ask). Forty Licks is a pretty well flawless collection. Re-mastering gets intruments and sounds coming through that you never heard on those mono singles. Turned up loud the songs on the first CD remind you why your parents really didn't like the Stones. You remember their outbursts just as you remember Stones moments in your life - with affection and gratitude. This collection is the stuff of nostalgia. Thanks boys. (As they tour the world - for the last time? - make sure you catch them and hear some of these Forty Licks played live).

Great album.
Recommended - lots of songs so obviously there are few to skip - but a corker of an album - wasn't easy to get hold of - you can sometimes pay silly money. Read more

The first CD is the best
You can't go far wrong with the first CD in this set as this is where most of the classics are. The first 5 of the second CD are pretty good too and so this is how I've constructed... Read more

Brilliant
Every track on here is a winner. I bought it for my husband and he was thrilled with it. Rather expensive, but worth it for that special gift.

Satisfaction
What a band. Decades of great music and all the best are right here. Checked out other more expensive options but this has the tracks I want at an affordable price.
