Rare 1979 Australian-only first issue limited edition collectors item 12-track red & silver Decca label vinyl LP compilation album, housed in a picture sleeve which features the same artwotk as 'The Promotional Album' The Rolling Stones were about to go out on tour in 1969 after a long break, the last tour had taken place in 1966. Mick Taylor was a new member in the band. There was a decision taken that the upcoming tour of USA was to be promoted in a professional way through radio stations all over US. At that point of time there were two compilation albums on the market, "High Tide & Green Grass" from 1966 and "Through The Past Darkly" from 1969 - issued a few days earlier. It was decided that a third compilation album needs to be put together with “the rest of the best” songs that had not been on the two previous hits albums. The album was put together of old songs and one new previously unreleased track, Love In Vain. From the get-go, the Stones were the raunchy, gritty doppelganger to the Beatles' Merseybeat pop. They ventured a heavier, bluesier sound than their British Invasion counterparts, taking their cues from Muddy Waters and Howlin' Wolf. It's difficult to listen to the trippy Their Satanic Majesties Request, the down-and-out honky-tonk of Exile On Main Street and the clean modernist surfaces of Bridges To Babylon and believe they were recorded by the same band. Of course, in some ways they weren't; the lineup changes that have dogged the Stones account for much of their musical diversity. Jagger's famous slur and Richards' sloppy guitar elegance are the two constants in the band's many life cycles that make every Stones song instantly recognizable.
