The Rolling Stones - BIG HITS (High Tide & Green Grass) (1966)

The Rolling Stones - BIG HITS (High Tide & Green Grass)    (1966) SACD
  With most of the material on this compilation coming from 1964 and  1965 BIG Hits Vol One is simply on the best stones compilations on a single disc ever!  Hearing these songs in glorious SACD makes them sound as fresh as they did the day they were released.    No real big surprises on this album which houses many of their Big hits other great tunes (that could have been huge hits too).  The Stones were just so prolific back then and rock and roll was still in its infancy that this compilation will take you back.
  Like all the ABKCO SACD releases these have been given a whole new life with truely amazing clean sound and huge instrumental separation.  I am listening to this album again just on this sunday afternoon and think it is just so excellent.

Yes, a brilliant album.
I've never heard these songs so clearly.
