Product Description
Review
How times change. If you read Mick Farren's review from the NME of this compilation from 1975 and then compare it to one from any of the trendier online review sites today you'd wonder even if it were the same BAND that's being dissected. Farren can't even begin to countenance a view that allows for any of the tracks to be regarded as below par. Recent reviews treat the whole thing like a record from your rather embarrassing uncles. Once these West London boys were a threat to society. Now they're something you buy for your mum and dad to play in the car. Sheesh!
So why should you care if you happen to be one of the (presumably very) young people for whom this band signifies little more than knighthoods and Wembley-filling superannuated gigs? Well, because for at least a decade they were, as they announced on Get Yer Ya Yas Out; the greatest rock 'n' roll band in the world. Often speciously pitted against the Beatles; their roots lay less in pure rock 'n' roll and more in the London blues scene. Originally Brian Jones' band, they bonded over a mutual love of all things gritty and Chicagoan.
Forced by scene-maker/manager Andrew Loog Oldham to write their own material after a string of hits covering everyone from Chuck Berry ("Come On") to the Beatles themselves ("I Wanna Be Your Man"), "The Last Time" ushered in a period where Jagger and Richards easily rivalled Lennon and McCartney for the holders of most important cultural icons of the 60s.
It's all here: The ur-riff of "Satisfaction", the snarling blues of "Little Red Rooster", the social anxiety of "19th Nervous Breakdown". Every month saw them glowering on the set of Top Of The Pops.
Rolled Gold, spans their transition from chart heroes to album kings, and from Decca to Atlantic (and their own label). recent revisionism bumps up the psychedelic whimsy from Their Satanic Majesties album on this re-release, but then gets stuck into the really dirty stuff. From Beggars Banquet ("Sympathy For The Devil") to Sticky Fingers (the oh-so-politically-incorrect Brown Sugar) the second half of this set is a perfect lesson in how to grow up disgracefully in public and still make awesome sleazy blues rock while you're at it.
Essentially Farren was right then, this is all glorious stuff, with hardly a dip in quality. Need some Stones in your life? Of course you do. Start here! --Chris Jones

Format:Audio CD
I still have the original vinyl version, with it's fascinating sleeve notes about 'the single' being a dying art - just a year before the punk music explosion completely revised the format:-)
This was good value on vinyl and is even better value in its CD incarnation. There's never been a better summary of the Rolling Stones glory years IMO and the chronological format appeals to the music nerd such as I.

"Come On" (Chuck Berry)
"I Wanna Be Your Man" (John Lennon/Paul McCartney)

"I'm Free"
"As Tears Go By" (Jagger/Richards/Andrew Oldham)
"Lady Jane"
"Paint It, Black"
"Mother's Little Helper"
"19th Nervous Breakdown"

I was born at a time when this was new and significant in the musical world. Guess what? It still is!
The Stones had a peak period from mid 60s to early 70s, in my opinion; Exile on Main Street was their last great hurrah. However this collection is absolutely wonderful.
Apart from the ground breaking impact they had on the culture of the day, people sometimes overlook just how versatile they were in creating original material and playing it live.
All the killer hooks are here on everything from "Jumping" to "Last Time" to "Brown Sugar". Massive singles that still define the Stones to today. But don't forget how talented they were when putting together some incredibly beautiful Melodies. "We Love You", "Ruby Tuesday" & "Lady Jane" to name just a few. In fact, I could spend an afternoon writing about each track, but why bother, go buy it and listen yourself. Next to the Beatles, they must have one of the most impressive back catalogues of anyone from that era.
This is so rich in quality; it should be in everybody's collection.

Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
although there is some overlap with 40 Licks, this 2 disc collection is superb and an essential purchase. I just wish they had added some of the early EP tracks instead of the well known hits that all fans will already have. I particularly wanted You Better Move On, which had a lot of TV and radio promotion back in the day and is hard to find now. Still, at 72 mins and 75 mins respectively this is superb VFM and remastered too. Fantastic price at the moment from Amazon as well at £8.95.
