CD Description
Like its 1969 second volume THROUGH THE PAST DARKLY, BIG HITS (HIGH TIDE & GREEN GRASS) is a fine collection of '60s Stones classics, but it's a rather bluesier one. This is exemplified by such rootsy tracks as the redefined Buddy Holly tune "Not Fade Away" and the R&B bounce of Bobby Womack's "It's All Over Now". Not that the group's original songs were lacking in grit or attitude; the vituperative "Get Off My Cloud", delivered in Mick Jagger's best Sidcup dialect still sounds magnificent, as does Brian Jones's booming Vox pearl guitar on "The Last Time" and Keith Richards's opening chords to the aforementioned "Not Fade Away". This is a disc to be handed down to your children.

Customer Reviews

THIS is what the Stones are about!
The definitive Stones album. Pretty much all the excitement and nostalgia that you could want. These songs are epic. You probably know every riff , and nobody did them better than Brian Jones. Worth it just for that all-time-great guitar solo in 'it's all over now'. Spine tingling
Only 'King Bee' is missing from this collection.
This is not the stuff they now do in concerts. Never bought a Stones album? or bought one and been disappointed? - get this ... it WILL get played.

Big Hits Vol.1 :High Tide and Green Grass
I am very dissapointed with the remastered version on CD. Having an original copy of the LP [1966 version].It contains only 12 {twelve} tracks, where as the Original LP contains 16{sixteen}. Also several of the songs are different. I love the Stones and I love their Music. But this is not the version I expected.

Great Early Hits Compilation
Unlike the previous reviewer you will find no complaints for me that the remastered version is the 12 track version released in the USA in 1966 and not the 14 track version of the album was released in the UK later the same year (this hasn't been remastered to my knowledge). This is a great compilation of early hits and essential for any collection.
