Hot Rocks Vol.1 1964-1971 [Remastered] - Rolling Stones (The) > Reviews

Advantages: great tunes
Disadvantages: few weak ones

This double cd is effectively the greatest hits of the rolling stones from 1964 to 1971. It is a great album it has all your favourites on in their original form and there are very few missing. I find the first of the 2 cds much weaker. There are some solid tunes, but no greats with the exception of satisfaction. Meanwhile all the faves are on the second cd: jumping jack flash, brown sugar, gimme shelter etc. this cd does not have a weak link (maybe ... Read review

Advantages: too many to mention
Disadvantages: none

A great collection of songs from one of the best bands ever. It is always a source of wonderment to me why the stones never get the credit they deserve.

Advantages: A diamond in every track

The blues influences are clear in the earlier tracks, changing through the ... Read review

Advantages: All rounder
Disadvantages: None

A couple of years ago I unexpectedly was given two tickets to go to see the Stones at Wembley. Not being a mega fan but liking what I knew about them i decided I'd better buy a CD so that I knew some of their tunes (there is nothing worse than being at a gig and not knowing the songs) So into HMV I went and this was in the sale. It has got all of their classic hits on it. all on the two CDs. But when I got to the car I put the CD in and put the volume ... Read review

Advantages: All the good songs on one album
Disadvantages: Does;nt beat the amazing albums

This domestic double-disc anthology contains their biggest hits on London, as well as many of their most popular album tracks. A stereo version of "Satisfaction" is the highlight, and worth the price, even though the US mono version is also pretty cool.
