The Rolling Stones - Hot Rocks 1964 - 1971

Hot Rocks 1946-1971 is a compilation album by English rock band The Rolling Stones, originally released in December 1971 via ABKCO Records.

This two-LP set is both a lot more and a bit less than what it seems. It is seven years' worth of mostly very high-charting - and all influential and important - songs, leaving out some singles in favor of well-known album tracks, and in the process, giving an overview not just of The Rolling Stones' hits but of their evolving image.

One hears them change from loud R&B-inspired rockers covering others' songs ("Time Is On My Side") into originators in their own right ("Satisfaction"); then into tastemakers and style-setters with a particularly decadent air ("Get Off Of My Cloud", "19th Nervous Breakdown"), and finally into self-actualized rebel-poets ("Jumpin' Jack Flash", "Midnight Rambler") and Shaman-like symbols of chaos.

On its initial release, Hot Rocks sold well, not only as a unique compilation but also as a panorama of the '60s. This is an exciting assembly of material.

Check out the album tracks: “"(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction”; “The Last Time”; “Time Is On My Side”; "19th Nervous Breakdown"; "Jumpin' Jack Flash"; "Midnight Rambler" and “Get Off Of My Cloud”.

This double album 2LP record set is on 180 gram heavyweight vinyl featuring the 2002 remastered audio, housed in a gatefold sleeve, pressed in Europe via the "ABKCO the Rolling Stones DSD Remastered" series.
