This album was
spawned by three coinciding events -- the need to acknowledge the death
of band co-founder Brian Jones (whose epitaph graces the inside cover)
in July of 1969; the need to get "Honky Tonk Women," then a huge hit
single, onto an LP; and to fill the ten-month gap since the release of
Beggars Banquet and get an album with built-in appeal into stores ahead
of the Stones' first American tour in three years. The fact that the
Stones had amassed a sufficient number of hits since their last
greatest-hits compilation in early 1966 (Big Hits: High Tide and Green
Grass) made this a no-brainer, and its song lineup was as potent at the
time as any compilation of hit singles by any artist.
From the group's excursions into fey psychedelia ("Paint It, Black,"
"Ruby Tuesday," "She's a Rainbow," "Dandelion"), space rock ("2000 Light
Years From Home"), punk decadence ("Mother's Little Helper"), and back
to straight-ahead rock & roll ("Jumpin' Jack Flash"), some of it
with a topical edge ("Street Fighting Man"), it's all incredibly potent,
though also redundant to the extent that "Ruby Tuesday" and "Let's
Spend the Night Together" had previously appeared on two U.S. albums.
The presence of "Honky Tonk Women" propelled it to gold record status
upon release on both sides of the Atlantic, although the simultaneously
released British version (long out of print, except as a bootleg CD) is
different and more confusing, but also more diverse and rewarding
musically than the American version. Both this album and Big Hits: High
Tide and Green Grass have been supplanted by Hot Rocks and More Hot
Rocks, but are still handy in their tight respective focuses.
