5.0 out of 5 stars A Snapshot Of The Stones Hits After Leaving Decca In 1971, September 23, 2004

This review is from: Jump Back: Best of 71-93 (Audio CD)

Jump Back: The Best Of The Rolling Stones: `71-`93 was released only in the UK on November 22, 1993. It was the *18th* compilation album released in the UK. It was also the first release of the Stones new contract with Virgin Records. None of the songs appear on either Hot Rocks or More Hot Rocks. The album seems mis-titled because it does not include any of the single releases from 1989-1993 and in fact does not include *16* UK single releases from this time period. It was an attempt to release the most the most popular of the Stones hits since they left Decca (London in the US) in 1971. A better title would have been "Some Stones Hits '71-`89", but then who would have bought an album with an ambiguous title and the last hit 4 years earlier....other than those rabid Stones fans, anyway? Well, this is what happens when you have such a huge catalog of hits and you try to do a greatest hits album. Look at all the stuff that had to be left off of the 2002 release 40 Licks. If they ever release the entire Stones catalog as a box set it will have to come in a trunk that comes with a dolly to get it out of the store.

These songs are the most popular from the Rolling Stones Records releases. Here are the original UK release dates of each song (US release and re-release dates were often different during this period):
4-16-71 & 6-29-84 Brown Sugar
4-16-71 Bitch
4-23-71 Wild Horses (on Sticky Fingers - not released as a single)
4-14-72 Tumbling Dice
8-21-73 Angie
7-26-74 It's Only Rock `n' Roll
4-16-78 Hot Stuff
4-16-78 Fool To Cry
5-19-78 Miss You
8-29-78 & 6-1-82 Beast Of Burden
9-14-78 Respectable
6-20-80 Emotional Rescue
8-14-81 & 2-11-83 Start Me Up
12-1-81 Waiting On A Friend
11-1-83 Undercover Of The Night
3-4-86 Harlem Shuffle
8-17-89 Mixed Emotions
10-24-89 Rock And A Hard Place

Here are the *16* UK single releases that were NOT on the album. Ruby Tuesday, Highwire, Terrifying, Almost Hear You Sigh, Jumpin' Jack Flash, One Hit (To The Body), She Was Hot, Let's Spend The Night Together, Time Is On My Side, Going To A Go Go, If I Was A Dancer, Honky Tonk Women, Out Of Time, I Don't Know Why, Sad Day, Street Fighting Man

5.0 out of 5 stars WELL WORTH OWNING, April 14, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Jump Back: Best of 71-93 (Audio CD)

The Rolling Stones have been the most enduring rock and roll band in music history. Their music has been out there for over 35 years. This is no accident. New listeners may want to know why, and this CD provides the answer.

Importantly, this CD is a fresh blended sample of their studio music, that provides an excellent answer to the question "What has kept the Stones on top for so many years?"

For fans, we already OWN all of the songs that we wish were on this CD. We know Sticky Fingers by heart. In order. But Sticky Fingers, Exile, Some Girls, and the other greats were all written and recorded within a specific time and place.

This mix of Stones grabs from all time periods. Stone fans already know that the Stones' themselves figured this out years ago - their live concerts continue to present more and more of their older stuff, instead of only promoting their newest music.

Fans want to hear the songs they know. New listeners should want to hear why there are so many fans. This CD is a good start, with the music delivered in an unfamiliar order.

Sure there are songs that I wish were on this CD - T&A, Let Me Go, Under My Thumb. The list is endless.

DON'T JUDGE IF THE VERY BEST OF YOUR MOST FAVORITE SONGS ARE INCLUDED. This CD is not a voting survey, it is a presentation of the Stones from all time periods, as they were in the studio.

For this reason alone, the CD is a must.

5.0 out of 5 stars A very effective overview of the Stones' 70s and 80s output, December 28, 2004

By 

Docendo Discimus (Vita scholae) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Jump Back: Best of 71-93 (Audio CD)

"Jump Back" is a very well assembled and reasonably well annotated overview of the Stones' 70s and 80s output. The sound is excellent, and almost everything that the casual fan could want is here. 74 minutes of tough, raunchy rock n' roll, from the gritty "Bitch" and the swaggering "Brown Sugar" to the soulful "Waiting On A Friend" and the ballad "Angie".

This well assembled retrospective really shows the depth of the Stones' collective talents, blending rock n' roll, blues, R&B, and a little bit of country into a distinctive "Stones" sound, anchored by the greatest rhythm guitarist in the business, Keith Richards.
And this is a CD, right? So you can just program out the hideous disco-experimentalism of "Emotional Rescue" and the forgettable "Undercover Of The Night".

Compare this compilation with disc two of "Forty Licks" and you'll find that "Jump Back" blows "Licks" out of the water.
Coupled with "Hot Rocks: 1964-1971" (or the magnificent box set "The London Years"), this album provides the best career overview currently available.
If you don't want to spring for the Stones' original albums, this is the way to go.
