The Rolling Stones - Hot Rocks 1964-1971

180-gram gatefold double LP

Originally released in 1972, Hot Rocks came out at the Rolling Stones' absolute creative peak and its 21 tracks represent seven years worth of rock 'n' roll history. Features five No. 1 singles, including "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction," "Jumpin' Jack Flash" and "Honky Tonk Women." While the emphasis is on the hits, Hot Rocks also includes several iconic album tracks such as "Play With Fire," "Under My Thumb," and "Gimme Shelter." This 2LP set is pressed on 180-gram black vinyl.

Hot Rocks 1964-1971 was a huge sales hit when it came out in 1971, spending 243 consecutive weeks on the chart and eventually selling more than 12 million copies.

"This 2LP 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 1960s... an exciting assembly of material." — AllMusic
