Product Description
Amazon.ca
It's the rare greatest-hits album that takes on a life of its own. Generally, best-of collections are superseded by updated retrospectives. Hot Rocks is one of the rare exceptions to the rule. Originally released in 1972, it instantly became the Stones intro of choice, elbowing aside Big Hits, High Tide and Green Grass and Through the Past Darkly. Why? It happened to hit the racks when Mick and company were at their creative peak. The 21 tracks found here represent seven years of dizzying growth. From "Time is on My Side" through "Satisfaction" and "Let's Spend the Night Together", on to Sticky Fingers's "Brown Sugar" and "Wild Horses", Hot Rocks never lets up. The likes of Sucking in the '70s and Jump Back come and go, but this Stones overview will not be moved. --Steven Stolder

If you aren't a die-hard Stones fan but enjoy their music, this is the compilation for you. From a seven year stretch from '64 to '71 you get to hear vast development from Mick and the Boys. Though Rolling Stones' hits may be difficult to get entirely under your thumb, this compilation proves it can hit on all the highlights from their early years and make for a thoroughly enjoyable listen.
Though all the songs collectively on this compilation would add up to 5-stars, its hard to award any compilation that wasn't intended by the artist originally as a cohesive work that highest of high reviewers garnishment. If you are a true Stones maniac, go get the individual albums, preferably in vinyl, and revel in your revelry. If not, this is a great place to start. You may have to augment with more of their recent hits compilations, but this one isn't a CD that gets played initially and then is placed on the shelf to collect dust.
Though it's true that sometimes you can't always get what you want, with this compilation you can come awfully close.

So many review writers seem to obsess about the sound quality and re-mastering of many Original Recordings including this excellent compilation. Where some people may find such commentary helpful, I think in most cases it detracts from the bottom line which is quality of the songs and the artists creativity at the time.
As at least one reviewer previously mentioned, this compilation indeed is very well representative of the top songs from the Rolling Stones glory period between 1964 and 1971. Each chosen track is very appropriate and there are really no glaring ommissions.
For those who appreciate the more modern sounds of this fine band, you might want to pick up the new Forty Licks collection. However, if you want a focused collection of the bands greatest hits from their peak years only, this is the perfect purchase.
Its mostly rock n roll(a few ballads) but you'll like it. Of coure if you are a big time fan just buy all their original releae such as Let It Bleed, Beggars Banquet, Sticky Fingers, etc.
