Format:Audio CD
This fabulous and very reasonably priced collection contains all The Rolling Stones' Decca (UK) and London (USA) single A- and B-sides. If they originally appeared on 45 in mono (the vast majority) they're in mono here - apart from Honky Tonk Women for some reason. The 2002 remasters finally do justice to this material on CD - they sound fabulous.
The 60s A-sides (with the arguable exception of their debut, Come On) are uniformly brilliant, surprisingly varied and superbly produced, especially after they began recording in the USA; the B-sides, with only 1 or 2 exceptions, are good to excellent. There is surprisingly little overlap with albums (especially UK ones) and where there is, several tracks are in otherwise unobtainable mono. Really, until about halfway through CD 3, this collection is pretty much flawless - there are only about 5 tracks on the whole thing I'd not want to listen to. There isn't a better way to listen to the Stones' first (and best) 7 years.
For those who care about these things, there are minor quibbles as follows; anyone who just wants a great collection of 60s Stones singles can ignore them because for most people this will be nit-picking:
1) the presence on CD 3 (tracks 9-12) of out-takes understandably not issued at the time of recording. These were issued on 45 in 1975 to promote the dodgy Metamorphosis collection of out-takes; they may belong here in principle as Decca/London 45s but they don't belong here in spirit; their low quality only devalues the collection overall.
2) the presence of Brown Sugar and Wild Horses. These were recorded in 1969 without the knowledge of Decca/London, to whom the Stones were still contracted; subsequent legal manoeuvres have made them available to Decca/London's successors Abkco but they've never to my knowledge been issued as 45s on Decca/London. If they (or the also rather superfluous Sympathy For The Devil) were mono or otherwise different mixes they'd be worth including, but otherwise most people who'd buy this will already have Sticky Fingers and Beggars Banquet.
3) by far the most important: the absence of their 3 UK EPs of 1964-65 (The Rolling Stones, 5 x 5 and Got Live If You Want It); these could have been included if 1) and 2) had been omitted and the collection would have been better for it.

A great collection of hits: A and B sides of their, 1960s singles output. Wonderful tunes to sing along with, like 'The Last Time,' and the great guitar riff of 'Satisfaction.' Personally, I like them all, but my favourites are the earlier A and B sides like ' I Wanna Be Your Man, I Want To Be Loved,' and the brilliant 'Stoned.' Just like stoned on a cloud, man. Cool... Full of rebellious songs. Dig it! And sing!

As a Stones fan I wanted to be able to go back in time to my youth and remember the early Stones music, when they first started out on what turned out to be an epic career doing thier gigs at the Marqee & crawdaddy clubs where it all started, This collection did just that and took me back !!! The three disks have all the tracks from the early years, tracks that are a part of the greatest rock and roll band in the world, also classic tracks Satisfaction, Jumping Jack Flash, and all the great tracks they produced. The collection has it all 58 tracks restored to perfection,A must for all Stones fans.

False description
This is an excellent collection of Rolling Stones music. But be warned. Despite Amazon advertising this as an SACD, IT IS NOT ! It is a DSD put onto an ordinary cd.
