Review
THE SINGLES COLLECTION: THE LONDON YEARS comes as advertised--the box includes every American and British A-side and B-side the Rolling Stones
released between 1963 and 1971 (after which the band began releasing discs under the Rolling Stones Records imprint).
The fantastic speed and scope of the Stones' early artistic development have few parallels in popular music, and this collection not only details that incredible process,
but serves as a microcosm of '60s pop culture as well.
From the down-and-dirty Chicago-style blues and R&B of the group's early covers (Chuck Berry's "Come On", Willie Dixon's "I Just Wanna Make Love to You")
to the dreamy chamber pop of "Lady Jane" and the proto-hard rock of "Street Fightin' Man",
the band was always on the cutting edge, both reacting to and anticipating cultural and musical trends.
One listen to this box, however, reveals that, unlike the Beatles, the Stones seldom veered far from their roots,
always injecting a vital dose of raw sexuality and pure rock & roll spirit into even the boldest of experiments.
