THE ROLLING STONES Singles Collection: The London Years (Abkco) RARE Box Set SEALED
Original STILL SEALED four-LP box set "Singles Collection: The London Years" on Abkco Records (August 1989). A comprehensive collection of all singles released by The Rolling Stones between May 1963 and February 1970.
"The four-lp box set Singles Collection: The London Years contains every single the Rolling Stones released during the '60s, including both the A- and B-sides. It is the first Stones compilation that tries to be comprehensive and logical. (...) The Rolling Stones made genuine albums -- even their early R&B/blues albums were impeccably paced -- but their singles had a power all their own, which is quite clearly illustrated by the Singles Collection. By presenting the singles in chronological order, the set takes on a relentless, exhilarating pace with each hit and neglected B-side piling on top of each other, adding a new dimension to the group; it has a power it wouldn't have had if it tried to sample from the albums. Although it cheats near the end, adding singles from the Metamorphosis outtakes collection and two singles from Sticky Fingers, this captures the essence of the '60s Stones as well as any compilation could." - Stephen Thomas Erlewine, allmusic.com
