Product Description

CD Description
THROUGH THE PAST, DARKLY is a 1969 compilation that documents the transitional period during which the Stones--with Brian Jones still on hand-- went from being a great R&B band tothe world's greatest rock & roll band. These were the songsthat not only defined Mick and Keith's reputation as songwriters, but set much of the musical tone for the rest of the '60s rock world. "Paint it Black" is a dark, Eastern-tinged song fully as influential as any of the Beatles' similar efforts. Though somewhat atypical, "Dandelion" and "She's a Rainbow" are baroque-pop classics on par with anything from PETSOUNDS. And of course, "Jumping Jack Flash", "Honky Tonk Woman", and "Street Fighting Man", with their locomotive rhythms and updated Chuck Berry riffs, were the standard against which all straight-up rock & roll would be measured well into the next century.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant early hits collection, 21 Feb 2003
By Pieter "Toypom" (Johannesburg) - See all my reviews
(TOP 10 REVIEWER)   
This 1967 album was the Stones' second hits collection and reflects the styles and times of the middle sixties. It is heavy with their brand of psychedelia in shimmering masterpieces like Dandelion, She's A Rainbow and Paint It Black. Also the poetic Ruby Tuesday of which the most memorable cover version is probably that of Melanie Safka. Talking of covers, David Bowie's interpretation of Let's Spend The Night is a noble effort but doesn't come close to the original. The most raucous moments of the album occur in the classic rock numbers Jumpin' Jack Flash and Honky Tonk Women, while 2000 Light Years From Home has a spacey, atmospheric feel. Street Fighting Man with its menacing air reflects the times as it was inspired by the student riots of the 60's, while Have You Seen Your Mother Baby is a soulful powerballad with a devastating hook. Mother's Little Helper is a topical song about the abuse of prescription drugs and contains the classic lines: "Doctor please, some more of these/Outside the door, she takes four more ..." Most of these tracks were subsequently included on the two Hot Rocks collections but this album remains a worthwhile purchase since every song here is a masterpiece and the sequence is just perfect. The music of the Stones gets better and better as the decades pass.
