Free Music Notes for Big Hits (High Tide and Green Grass)
Free Music Review: Probably genius in its day, but totally obselete now
Hit: 3 Stars
For those looking to start a Rolling Stones collection (as rock fan should): DON'T GO HERE. The first of many Stones compilations? Yes. But all that does is make it completely obselete. You can get most this album on the far-better Hot Rocks: while it's missing two key songs (Tell Me; The Last Time) that show up here, those two can easily be found on England's Newest Hitmakers and Out of Our Heads, respectively - those are both worth picking up in the first place. The only surprise is Good Times, Bad Times, which in truth didn't belong here and could've been shunted in favor of The Little Red Rooster, which so happened to be a UK #1. Yeah, there's (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction, 19th Nervous Breakdown, Time Is on My Side, As Tears Go By, The Last Time, Play with Fire, Heart of Stone, Tell Me, Get Off of My Cloud and numerous other goodies, but those can be found on better, more coherent compilations that were later released. Now, in its day this was probably a pretty big hit, since it did contain a BUNCH of awesome Rolling Stones hits in one place. But these days it's not really worth getting for any reason other than nostalgia.
Big Hits (High Tide and Green Grass) Poster
Noteworthy for the first album appearance of "19th Nervous Breakdown" and the hit version of "Time Is on My Side," this first collection in a long line of Rolling Stones retrospectives collects the early singles of a band that was slowly and surely becoming the World's Greatest Rock & Roll Band. They're hungry here and they churn out a scruffy version of the Buddy Holly hit "Not Fade Away" as well as their own compositions ("(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction," "Get Off of My Cloud"). Their ability to work ballads into their rough-hewn repertoire is apparent ("Play with Fire" and "As Tears Go By") and Jagger's persona as the devil incarnate is taking shape. --Rob O'ConnorClassic Rock Music CDs
