The Rolling Stones - Through The Past Darkly (1969) SACD
This was the companion to 1966's BIG HITS vol 1 album and was released to serve 3 purposes originally........1. An Ode to the death of band co-founder Brian Jones (whose epitaph graces the inside cover) 2. The urgency to get "Honky Tonk Women," then a huge hit single, onto an LP and 3. To fill the year long gap that followed since the release of Beggars Banquet.
And this album has a lot of different elements from the Stones....a few classics from the Psychedelia....a few classics from the R&B, Rock and even Space/Prog bits.
And of course one could not speak of this release without noting the superb job ABKCO did on these SACD remasters. I have never heard the Stones sound so good .
