Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
Noteworthy for the first album appearance of "19th Nervous Breakdown" and the hit version of "Time Is on My Side", this first collection in a long line of Rolling Stones retrospectives collects the early singles of a band that was slowly and surely becoming the World's Greatest Rock & Roll Band. They're hungry here and they churn out a scruffy version of the Buddy Holly hit "Not Fade Away" as well as their own compositions ("(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction", "Get Off of My Cloud"). Their ability to work ballads into their rough-hewn repertoire is apparent ("Play with Fire" and "As Tears Go By") and Jagger's persona as the devil incarnate is taking shape. --Rob O'Connor

CD Description
Like its 1969 second volume THROUGH THE PAST DARKLY, BIG HITS (HIGH TIDE & GREEN GRASS) is a fine collection of '60s Stones classics, but it's a rather bluesier one. This is exemplified by such rootsy tracks as the redefined Buddy Holly tune "Not Fade Away" and the R&B bounce of Bobby Womack's "It's All Over Now". Not that the group's original songs were lacking in grit or attitude; the vituperative "Get Off My Cloud", delivered in Mick Jagger's best Sidcup dialect still sounds magnificent, as does Brian Jones's booming Vox pearl guitar on "The Last Time" and Keith Richards's opening chords to the aforementioned "Not Fade Away". This is a disc to be handed down to your children.

5.0 out of 5 stars If your a Rolling Stones music fan than this CD is to own!, 18 Feb 2000
By A Customer
All of their best is right here no doubt about that "Big Hits Hide Tide & Green Grass" is a brief retrospective vintage history overview collection of the Stones greatest hits album that collects most songs from 1964-1966. Included on here are "Satisfaction", "Time Is On My Side", "Play With Fire", "Heart of Stone" & "19th Nervous Breakdown". If other listeners recommend the "Hot Rocks" anthologies on two double-discs or Singles London Years a three CD [Box Set] is just fine by me. Besides there good compilation as well too available. But I rather prefer insteadthese essential Rolling Stones classics that were most popular in rock music history up-to date!

4.0 out of 5 stars Their first hits collection, 21 Feb 2003
By Pieter "Toypom" (Johannesburg) - See all my reviews
(TOP 10 REVIEWER)   
High Tide was originally issued as separate US and UK albums with slightly different track listings. This CD reissue has superb sound quality and contains most of their early classics. The exclusion of Lady Jane and Little Red Rooster is unfortunate. But there's enough of their brilliant classics in various styles here, for example brooding ballads like The Last Time, Time Is On My Side and Play With Fire. As Tears Go By was of course a massive hit for Marianne Faithfull. Classic, raucous rock surfaces on Get Off My Cloud and I Can Get No (Satisfaction) - amongst its many cover versions was a 1974 hit by the flash-in-the-pan Bubblerock! Other great songs include the visceral Nineteenth Nervous Breakdown and Not Fade Away. I'm giving it only four stars, though, since the album Through The Past Darkly has a better selection of their early work, while the two Hot Rocks compilations contain a wider selection of their classic 60's work. But this is still a great album.

3.0 out of 5 stars U.S. Version, 15 Sep 2005
By Jonathan Booth (New Zealand) - See all my reviews
This is the U.S. version of the album. The UK version of the album has 14 not 12 tracks with different songs. Would be nice if Abkco released the (superior)UK version as they did with 'Aftermath'.
