Outstanding value February 12, 2008
I'm not particularly a Stones fan, but this is a suberb collection...... just about the whole album is quality, a must for any music lover.

This is great, yeah! Five Stars for the greatest rock 'n' roll band in the world, ever. The repackaging is great, an improvement on that awful vinyl cover, the extra tracks, CD notes in gold, sound quality, fantastic. All we need now is a compilation CD of all those early Jagger/Richard numbers from the early albums, up to Aftermath, so we don't have to wade through all of those RnB covers. Sacrilege, I know, but what a great CD that would be, eh?
brilliant collection December 29, 2007

although there is some overlap with 40 Licks, this 2 disc collection is superb and an essential purchase. I just wish they had added some of the early EP tracks instead of the well known hits that all fans will already have. I particularly wanted You Better Move On, which had a lot of TV and radio promotion back in the day and is hard to find now. Still, at 72 mins and 75 mins respectively this is superb VFM and remastered too. Fantastic price at the moment from Amazon as well at 8.95.

I was born at a time when this was new and significant in the musical world. Guess what? It still is!
The Stones had a peak period from mid 60s to early 70s, in my opinion; Exile on Main Street was their last great hurrah. However this collection is absolutely wonderful.
Apart from the ground breaking impact they had on the culture of the day, people sometimes overlook just how versatile they were in creating original material and playing it live.
All the killer hooks are here on everything from "Jumping" to "Last Time" to "Brown Sugar". Massive singles that still define the Stones to today. But don't forget how talented they were when putting together some incredibly beautiful Melodies. "We Love You", "Ruby Tuesday" & "Lady Jane" to name just a few. In fact, I could spend an afternoon writing about each track, but why bother, go buy it and listen yourself. Next to the Beatles, they must have one of the most impressive back catalogues of anyone from that era.
This is so rich in quality; it should be in everybody's collection.
About time too! November 24, 2007

I have to disagree with SOG "SOG". Finally fans (well UK fans anyway) are given a proper Stones compilation, not the badly compiled Hot Rocks which was pretty US-centric and should never IMNSHO have been released in the UK. We had Rolled Gold (OK we had to wait till 75 but you see where I'm coming from). The original Rolled Gold had all the UK hits plus at least one track from each of the eight Decca studio albums. With other classics like Play With Fire, Mother's Little Helper and No Expectations added, it's great to have Rolled Gold back - this is long overdue!
Alright then ABKCO when do we get the first two UK albums?
