Hot Rocks 1964-1971

Product Information

The album was not released in the UK until 21 May 1990, to coincide with the Urban Jungle Tour, reaching No. It has company inner sleeves promoting releases contemporary to the time of the original release of this album. Maybe it’s sensible to cut “The Last Time” in favor of its flip side “Play With Fire,” but the absence of “It’s All Over Now” fairly glares at you. Let’s Spend the Night Together” also represented the apotheosis of noise evolved into an arrangement of perfect clarity and unorthodox form, and effortlessly pushing, pulsating, almost mechanical sound that could go on forever. We have also included all original release dates with each Rolling Stones album as well as all original album covers.

In summary, visually and package wise a great addition to any collection, but in terms of sound quality and mastering it leaves a lot to be desired. A photograph of the band at Swarkestone Hall Pavilion, taken by Michael Joseph in 1968, was printed on the back cover of the vinyl release. Comes with 2 thick plastic inner sleeves (not sure if they are antistatic, they seem to be made out of polyethylene), so far you may be wondering, why I gave it 3 stars if it has many positive features? And even the much maligned “Brown Sugar” is an almost perfect crossbreed song in the new Stones vocabulary, combining a forceful picture of colonial racism with another Jagger fantasy which has offended some people but strikes with undeniable power.Gimme Shelter” and “You Can’t Always Get What You Want” may be the two most crucial and enduring things ever laid on wax by this band; certainly they demonstrated an unprecedented maturity, a view of the world as it is and a promise that the Stones’ most vital work may well lie ahead of them. The discs also have passages where my stylus trembles and you can actually hear the frailty and tremor that the stylus is going through (which doesn´t happen with other lp´s). As historical document of Greatest Hits culling, Hot Rocks takes almost no chances, and if the Stones or London sometimes display an unexpected sense of what may be the band’s most important statements (as in the inclusion of “You Can’t Always Get What You Want”), there is also much left out.

The Rolling Stones - Hot Rocks: 1964-1971 Album Reviews

Get Off Of My Cloud” brought the former razzberry to a pinnacle of derisive noise that many, including Jagger himself, found excessive, while “I Can’t Get No Satisfaction” was, of course, the primal and perhaps still definitive statement of the latter condition. The other, and even more important, recent phase is the Stones’ interest in songs, the kind of triumphs hinted at in “Satisfaction” and “Mother’s Little Helper,” that deal in searingly explicit terms not just with sexual conceits and power fantasies, but with the conditions under which all of us are living today. on the Billboard 200 album chart and, as of September 2023, the album has spent 422 weeks on the chart.Some tracks like the Aftermath/Bleed/Sticky tracks, sound great, while others, like the Beggars Banquet tracks, sound awful. All tracks on sides three and four were produced by Jimmy Miller, except "Midnight Rambler", which was produced by the Rolling Stones and Glyn Johns. Hot Rocks (London 2PS 606-7) is even crasser than Flowers and Children, because it’s the first Stones album on which every track has been represented on albums previously released in this country. It’s on the second record of Hot Rocks, however, that the big thematic shift in the Stones’ music becomes unmistakable.

Along the way, they’ve juiced up the process by turning now and then from their narcissistic role to cast a caustic eye at the society around them, as in “Mother’s Little Helper,” and borrowing whatever was handily trendy, from the sitar in “Paint It Black” to the Memphis horns in “Brown Sugar” and Sticky Fingers, to garnish their basic sound. Nevertheless, “Time is on My Side” and “Heart of Stone” are vintage Stones, with the arrogant persona that is largely the subject of the first half of their career and the first half of this album already emerging unmistakably, and cemented in “Play With Fire,” first entry in the Stones’ continuing sometime dalliance with the folk traditions of their native land. It became the Rolling Stones' best-selling release of their career and an enduring and popular retrospective. So in part Hot Rocks is, however beautifully packaged, a purely mercenary item put together by the Stones’ former record company to cash in on the Christmas season and wring some more bucks out in the name of the Mod Princes they once owned. He has spent thirty years in the music business often working with many of the people who have appeared on this site.com claims ownership of all its original content and Intellectual property under United States Copyright laws and those of all other foreign countries. Anyway, it’s good to have this record back in my collection 30 years later as I’m getting back into vinyl. Songs that were recorded in mono are mono and songs that were recorded in stereo are stereo, none of that reprocessed crap that they latched onto and issued millions of records in that terrible sound.
