You might say this record serves as a sort of distillation of the Stones' musical essence. I wish 'Lady Jane' was here, but other than that the song selection is just about perfect. The sound is great, and the cover photography was obviously a quality effort as well. The Rolling Stones, along with The Yardbirds, even more than The Beatles, were probably the main inspiration for most of the great American Garage bands of the Mid-to-Late 60's. Listening to this album, it's easy to see why. The original Stones songs are brilliant, and the covers are great, too. Mick Jagger's voice is strong and melodic, the band is tight, and there is some very tasty Rock guitar work of the old school variety (you won't hear that style today). 'The Last Time' sounds fantastic, and I could listen to the Stones' version of 'It's All Over Now' a hundred times. Essential for 60's Rock aficionados- and recommended for anyone who likes a catchy Pop tune.Read full review
Being surrounded by their fans, I don't like Rolling Stones. However hard my friends tried to convert me, it didn't work. I've never had any RS albums on LP. I've never had any RS albums on CD. This is the only album I've got, and I'm happy with it. The only RS song that I like, namely As Tears Go By, is included. I can tolerate the rest, it brings up nostalgic mood. Sound quality of the SACD is very good, this adds to listening pleasure. I think this is the best buy for those who don't like the band, but can't deny that it's great. Those who love the band, would buy it as well, just because they are fans.
It was before the FAB four. Had three people I was unaware were considered part of the Rolling Stones. I recognized only two of the members

This CD defines what the Rolling Stones "were" all about in their heyday. The time line takes the listener through the Stones' transition from a "wanna be" blues traditional band to the pop stars they became. From the bluesy, "Not Fade Away" to the pop hit " Satisfaction", the rolling stones show that you can always get what you want when your writing songs that made musical history. A must for all Rolling Stones fans to have.
If you like the stones, you will love this.
