Product Description
From Amazon.com
The mightiest of late-'80s Manchester ensembles had the world at its feet before entering the long, dark tunnel of litigation. This tidy compilation begins with a few archival indie singles then strides into the glorious but fleeting period that produced gems like "I Wanna Be Adored," "Waterfall," and "Fools Gold." --Jeff Bateman

Though, in my opinion, the Stone Roses were one of the greatest bands to have ever existed this compilation is an insult to their name. Piss poor version of Waterfall, the 4 minute edit of Fools Gold, One Love and Somethings Burning and only the first half of I am the Resurrection make this album a shameful cash in on the part of Silvertone.
Buy Turns into Stone for the B sides and non-album singles while Sally Cinnamon and its associated B sides are cosntantly rereleased. Spare yourself the shame of having this in your record collection and get the proper records.

I recommend you do not buy this compilation. Many of the tunes on this 'best of' effort appear to be inferior versions of the many classics that made this band so great in their day.
For 'The Complete' Stone Roses experience simply buy 'Stone Roses' and 'Turns Into Stone'.
Do it. Do it now. If you haven't discovered the Stone Roses yet then you owe it to yourself.

This was the first Stone Roses CD I bought. At the time I had borrowed Turns Into Stone off my friend, and I thought that this would be the perfect album, because it contained all the songs off Turns Into Stone except Simone (which wasn't very good anyway). But then you find that the recordings of Fools Gold and Elephant Stone aren't the same, or that it misses songs like Bye Bye Badman and This Is The One. Also, the disc doesn't contain any songs from The Second Coming, and there is no John Squire artwork. The Roses themselves didn't even recieve any money from sales of this album. If you really want to see and hear what the Stone Roses were really about, you should buy The Stone Roses - Anniversary Edition, Second Coming, Turns Into Stone, Garage Flowers and Sally Cinnamon EP. But if you just want to get a feel for their sound, this will do.

Not how The Stone Roses intended it to be
This is a record company version of the original album. Many of the versions are shorter and not released with the Roses permission. Not a bad album just not how they recorded it. Read more

Represents the 'early' roses
This is far from the 'Complete' stone roses that the title suggests, but it is a fair representation and the stone roses from 85-90, when the roses were at their best. Read more

The greatest Stone Roses compilation
This album includes some of the best Stone Roses songs ever written. Some of the best b-sides such as Mersey Paradise are included as well as the expected Fools Gold & Waterfall. Read more

Great songs but a poor compilation
The Roses were a great band and this compilation attempts to collect some of their singles on one album. It goes from their gothy roots in "so Young" through to "One Love". Read more

Not quite complete, but worth a look.
This album is more than just an attempt to cash in on the Stone Roses. It contains tracks like 'So Young', 'Tell Me' and 'Sally Cinnamon' that don't appear on The Stone Roses or... Read more
