Full review
I bought this double album some years ago to get an effective introduction to the Rolling Stones, a group who seemed deemed to be forever in the shadows of those lovable scouse chappies The Beatles. From the very start with a sublime 'Time is on my side' this is a captivating tribute to a band who for my money, can dump from a great height on their Liverpudlian 'rivals'. The blues influences are clear in the earlier tracks, changing through the tracks via psychedelia and onto pure funk rock. Each track is a gem bad-ass vocals, swirling guitars (or sitars)groovy bass and captivating skin thumping from Charlie. They're all here - Jumpin Jack Flash, Honky Tonk Women, Satisfaction, Sympathy for the Devil and the marvelously psychedelic Paint it Black. To try and put into words the affection in which I hold this album would be futile. It's an experience you must have for yourself. Forget the wrinkled old grumblers they are now, and listen to them when they were cocks of the walk.
