Graced with cover art of a grotesque gorilla sporting the Stones' trademark leering lips, GRRR! doesn't quite have the classy veneer usually associated with a 50th anniversary collection. Frankly, that's a good sign for the Rolling Stones: they're celebrating their half-century together but refusing to take themselves too seriously, even when they're assembling a mammoth retrospective that's available in two wildly different incarnations…
Stupendous 2007 two CD reissue of this collection from the greatest Rock 'N' Roll band in the world. Expanded from it's original 1975 tracklisting, Rolled Gold gathers together 40 of Mick, Keef and Co.'s best ABKCO recordings beginning with their cover of Chuck Berry's 'Come On' and ending with the acoustic majesty of 'Wild Horses'. In between, you'll find some of Rock's finest musical moments including 'Let's Spend The Night Together', 'Sympathy For The Devil', 'Gimme Shelter', 'Time Is On My Side', 'Honkey Tonk Women', '(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction' and many more. Rock music has had many peaks and valleys, but the Stones have continued to roll for over four decades and their reputation is based on each and every one of these recordings. UMTV.
If it feels as if Honk treads familiar ground, it's because it does. Arriving seven years after the career-spanning Grrr! – a compilation available in a variety of iterations, all spanning from the earliest years to the 2010s – Honk focuses squarely on the music the Rolling Stones made after leaving London/Decca, a catalog that now resides with Abkco. In other words, its ground zero is "Brown Sugar," a staple that arrives just after "Start Me Up" kicks off the double-disc set. Such sequencing indicates how Honk bounces through the years, letting the '70s sit next to the '80s, finding space for latter-day songs that only showed up on previous greatest-hits albums (there have been five since 1984), and shining the spotlight on such excellent latter-day cuts as "Rough Justice."
The third in a series of handsome box sets, SINGLES 1968-1971 is yet another must-have for hardcore Rolling Stones fans. As with the earlier installments, the collection presents the original 45's in CD format, along with a booklet of informative liner notes, vintage photos, and promotional artwork…
Regarded as one of The Rolling Stones' all-time great albums, 'Sticky Fingers' captured the bands trademark combination of swagger and tenderness in a superb collection. The classic album features timeless songs such as 'Brown Sugar,' 'Wild Horses,' 'Bitch,' 'Sister Morphine' and 'Dead Flowers' and showcases the inventive song writing of Mick Jagger and Keith Richards and formidable guitar licks from Mick Taylor. This deluxe edition includes the remastered album and bonus CD featuring previously unreleased alternate takes and live performances, plus 'Get Yer Leeds Lungs Out' disc, a DVD featuring 2 tracks from Live At The Marquee…
