I know! Let's bring ROBERT CHRISTGAU into this!
Rewind (1971-1984) [Rolling Stones, 1984]
Song for song, a stronger album than anything they released in the period, and while for concept I'll take not just the eternal Exile but the casual Some Girls, it flows and maybe coheres. A-

haha i had been meaning to bring up how it was Rewind (the American CD edition), not Hot Rocks or any more canonical comp, that was really my introduction to the Stones catalog. i mean, a 13-track best-of with "Hang Fire" and "Fool To Cry" on it! good times.
― some dude, Monday, 9 April 2012 16:26 (fourteen years ago)
It was some weirdo ABKCO 8-track (lol) comp that was my first Stones product too! Had "Sympathy For the Devil" and "Have You Seen Your Mother" alongside odd stuff like "Good Times Bad Times".

It was on 8-track or it had eight songs on it? Because lol at the idea of abkco putting out such a short best-of.

Rewind was made for road trips.

I remember that album. Once had Exile on 8-track.

That's it! Found it at a flea market in Sault Ste Marie around '86.
Other cool 8-track (cartridges) I found at that same shop were Forever Changes and Hawkwind's Space Ritual Live.

I think that one was "Not Sold In Stores"/heavily TV advertised in the late '70s? I remember certain Stones/Creedence/Smokey Robinson collections being promoted CONSTANTLY in commercials during my late tween/early teens.
― Race Against Rockism (Myonga Vön Bontee), Monday, 9 April 2012 21:21 (fourteen years ago)
definitely mail-order and definitely late 70s

You can't always get what you want, but if you try sometimes you might find a good price on some tube socks. Three pairs for a dollar!

Oh man, checked that soundtrack out of the library, and I put it straight to Loving Cup because that's just one of my favorite Stones songs and I was expecting it to be a pretty straightforward live rendition. Not too good there, from either Mick or Jack White,.
― beachville, Tuesday, 10 April 2012 22:43 (fourteen years ago)
the collaborations are kinda yuk (Christina Aguilera wtf), but I enjoyed it for the most part.
