Killer collection of tracks originally released on 45 RPM records in the 60's, and in a few cases, the early 70's. Everyone knows that Mick Taylor, who usually played lead guitar against Keith's rhythm parts from 1969 til the end of 1974, was and is a great Blues and Rock guitar player, and added power and authenticity to the Stones' sound. He is heard here on a few (great) songs, notably 'Honky Tonk Women'. His predecessor, Keith Richard's original guitar foil, reportedly the first man in England to play slide guitar, and the founder of The Rolling Stones, was the late, great Brian Jones. He was part of the band from their inception through his leaving the Stones sometime in 1969- shortly after which he departed this world. In addition to playing exciting guitar, Brian experimented with various musical instruments, both odd and common, and used them to add that extra little bit of flavor to many key Stones tracks- flavor which elevated those songs and made them special. For example, 'Lady Jane'. His efforts contributed great charm and energy to the band. When I think about classic Stones, this is the lineup that comes to mind: Brian Jones, Mick Jagger, Keith Richard, Bill Wyman, and Charlie Watts. This is the lineup you will hear on this CD, and it is a great one. Listen to these songs and you will be amazed by the way Bill & Charlie drive the band. They were truly one of the best rhythm sections in the history of Rock'n'roll. You want to know why the Rolling Stones are living legends? The answer can be found right here.Read full review
If you are a die hard rolling stones fan like my husband, this is a "gotta have it" CD. I bought this one to replace the old one that were all scratched-up from him playing it all nite long. I am not a fan but this collection of songs are awesome..... it's something that you won't get tired of listening to. I was getting sick of listening to the other CD's everytime my husband plays them that's why I had to replace the old one. The songs are classic and yet they seem to be fresh and new everytime i hear it.
Rolling Stones thru the years is hard to beat .Unusual B sides add to the mix. Must have for fans.

This collection contains songs I've never heard before - all the very cool and very early Stones songs singing the blues. And you have to love Brian Jones' excellent harmonica. Totally worth it for the 50+ songs you get.
