Product Description

CD Description

THE STONE ROSES was one of those albums that defined a cultural moment-especially in the Roses' native England, where their music was the soundtrack for 1989's now-legendary summer of raves and Ecstasy. When the quartet released the classic, nine-minute single "Fool's Gold", mixing jangling/droning, psychedelic-tinged guitars with a slinky organ-and-bass groove and hypnotic percussion, it was like the world was theirs for the taking. Sadly, the Stone Roses lost their momentum in an unfortunate, protracted legal battle with their label, Silvertone Records, and never got the chance to build upon this amazing point. 1992's TURNS INTO STONE collects "Fools Gold", the extended mix of "Elephant Stone", and a handfulof b-sides and EP tracks onto one convenient disc. Though the music is extraordinary, there's no escaping the sense that this was just a stopgap release.

5.0 out of 5 stars Even the Roses B sides are genius..., 30 Jan 2003

By	"rkemp78" - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

This compliation is the smartest buy of all the ones available (and there are several). You get the singles Elephant Stone (fantastic pop song), both sides of the One Love single and the full length version of Fools Gold with its B side, which was the peak of the Roses great career. It would be worth the asking price for Fools Gold alone, but you also get all the Roses Silvertone B sides. The Roses were so great even their B sides are superior to many other band's hit singles. How many other bands do you still hear their B sides played 10 years later in pubs and clubs?

What doesn't it have? It ommits the early single So Young and the Sally Cinnemon single (with B sides) which is a shame but this is a SILVERTONE compilation. It ommits the two "experimental" backwards tracks like Full Fathom Five, which are only the singles Made of Stone and Elephant Stone played backwards so it's no biggie. It is also missing the 7inch version of Elephant Stone (which I love). But if you buy this, the Stone Roses LP, and The Second Coming you will own just about all the Roses recorded output. And it's all great. Enjoy.

5.0 out of 5 stars A hidden gem, 28 Jun 2000

By	318omos@marlboroughcollege.wilts.sch.uk (Wiltshire) - See all my reviews

We all (should) know that the Stone Roses eponymous self-titled debut album, is without a doubt the equivalent to music of what God means to the church, however this is almost as good. It isn''t an actual album, however it may as well be with the quality of material involved. Every song is a classic. It starts off with the pounding rocker 'elephant stone', which has one of the best openings to a song and album ever, and is then followed by three light and melodic tunes, that pave the way for possibly the best song on this CD- 'standing here'. Ian Brown proves that he can sing quite well on this track over squires' sweeping guitar riffs before launching into one of the greatest and most heart-rending endings of all time. 'Where angels play' takes a psychedelic turn before the dreamy feedback of Simone. This is placed perfectly before the full length version of 'Fools Gold' which kicks in with that lolloping breakbeat rythm of Wreni's drums, Mani's sweeping basslines, and Squire's funk-driven guitar. They carry on in the same vein over the final three tracks ending with the dreamy 'Somethings burnig'. An essential purchase, especially for any Roses fan.

5.0 out of 5 stars a fantastic trip between past and future, 29 Nov 2001

By A Customer

this is the past which turns into future. Stone Rose's bsides are magic and Fool's gold represents a song unique that has lightened many minds, mine included. I remember me seeing the video in november 1989. Berlin wall had been breaking down some days before. It was an incredible shake and in retrospect I think that song has been to music like a revolution. The Stone Roses were lots of years ahead other musicians and bands. They were the seed for the future but they were too perfect to go on. Like eddy phillips and the creation, they disappear into a dream because people weren't prepared to understand something so fantastic and lively. So life goes and this album became a cult.
