5.0 out of 5 stars A Huge Compilation Set, September 23, 2002

This review is from: Hot Rocks (Audio CD)

This is the version of Hot Rocks 1964-1971 that was originally released in the U.S. on Jan 11, 1972 but was withheld from the UK until 1990 due to a lawsuit. The album includes different versions of Brown Sugar and Wild Horses that had not been previously released. By mistake, the UK release contained the only true stereo versions of Satisfaction, Heart Of Stone, Paint It, Black, and Get Off Of My Cloud until the 40 Licks CD was released in 2002.

This US version covered their American hits from 1964-1971. The song are on the album in the order they were released in the U.S. Those that were only released as album cuts are noted.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for the first taste, November 23, 1999

By 

"gapskank76" - See all my reviews

This review is from: Hot Rocks (Audio CD)

I was and am too emersed in too many bands and artists to attempt to start collecting the Rolling Stones' essential albums. Their discography is way too big. Hot Rocks has all of the really essential songs you could want(at least the early ones). It goes with me on every trip. There isnt a bad song on here (shocking, yes, I know). In fact there isn't even a song that is just okay. This is two full discs of classic songs, perfect for someone who isn't wholly firmiliar with the Stones. It will make you want to buy more of their records.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Starter Disc, May 23, 2000

By 

Preston B. Speed (Fairfax, VA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Hot Rocks (Audio CD)

If you're thinking about buying this CD, chances are you are a relatively new fan of the Stones, and are looking for a good CD to get you started. Look no further. This is an excellent compilation of the biggest hits the Stones had when they were the hottest rock band in the world.

Highlights on Disc One include "Satisfaction" (which is quite possibly the best rock song ever recorded), the dark "Paint It Black," and the gorgeous ballad "Ruby Tuesday." On Disc Two the best include the rocking "Jumpin' Jack Flash," the redneck-flavored "Honky Tonk Woman," and the ambitious statement "You Can't Always Get What You Want." But every single song is worth a listen, I generally don't skip any tracks.

If you are already a Stones fan, chances are you already have most of these songs on their respective albums. But if you are just starting to come around, I definitely recommend Hot Rocks as a smart buy.
