Product Description

CD Description

The Very Best of the Stone Roses is just what the world needs--another repackaging of the best of a band whose meagre album output (just two albums) inspired not only a whole host of indie rock bands across the UK, but also a generation of record company execs intent on making new money for old rope. To be honest, there's nothing to be found on The Very Best of the Stone Roses that doesn't already exist on the aforementioned albums--their seminal self-titled debut and their long-delayed (and inferior) follow-up The Second Coming. Granted, it's always a pleasure to hear some of this band's biggest songs, including "I Wanna Be Adored", "Made of Stone", "I Am the Resurrection", "Ten Storey Love Song" and "Love Spreads". However, all but the most die-hard Stone Roses completists will be hard pressed to justify shelling out their hard-earned money for some new John Squire artwork on the cover and a rare interview transcript in the liner notes. --Ted Kord Description 'The Very Best Of The Stone Roses' brings together for the first time tracks from the bands eponymous debut and their follow up album 'Second Coming'. Charting their rise through the 'Madchester' scene of the early nineties with their distinct brand of 60's influened indie rock, the album also features the singles 'Sally Cinnamon', 'Fools Gold' and 'One Love'.

5.0 out of 5 stars exactly what it says on the label, 18 Aug 2005
If you're wondering which album to buy then dont falter in buying this one because this album satisfies from start to finish. This album has the full version of I Wanna Be Adored- one of their best tunes. There are few albums which dont disappoint at some point and this album stands out in the minority. If you're looking to complete your collection then this is a must buy or if you've never heard the Stone Roses before then this is all you'll ever need.

5.0 out of 5 stars What the world is waiting for..., 15 Jul 2007
By P. Philips (Sutton Coldfield UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
Those of you who are criticising this as a "cash-in" are missing the point. The tracks on this CD have all been remastered from the original master tapes and as such are sonically far superior to the other Roses CDs, particularly the debut album and the earlier 'Complete Stone Roses' compilation. Both of these CDs sound flat and lifeless by comparison despite the wonderful music. As well as including most of the best tracks on the 1st.album, there's a number of non-album tracks like 'One Love','What the world is waiting for','Sally Cinnamon',etc.
'Elephant Stone' and 'I am the resurrection' are both the full-length versions too. Obviously a compilation like this isn't going to please everyone, but this really is wonderful timeless music.
All we need now are proper remasters of the debut, Second Coming, and also the Complete Stone Roses compilation.....

5.0 out of 5 stars One for all, 16 Sep 2004
By P. Hawkes "philip" (Durham) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Beautifully packaged and remastered version of the Stone Roses' best album tracks and their singles. Informative and attractive booklet with discography included.

Nothing new in terms of musical content but the ideal one-buy Stone Roses CD for your collection.
