The Rolling Stones

I’ve always been a big Rolling Stones fan. 

You can kind of divide the Stones music into roughly 3 periods. From the beginning early 1960s to 1967 and Their Satanic Majesties Request album. The second period is from Beggars Banquet to 1981 and the Tattoo You album, their most successful and creative period. Then the Undercover album to present day.

I've always liked the second and third period, even if I have always said they have never put out a dud album.

I never really cared for the early period, I always preferred the newer stuff, but suddenly, just lately, I have really got into the early music, so I’ve been buying early albums to fill in the missing gaps in my collection with my newly discovered passion for the early stuff. 

I bought 12 x 5 and Singles Collection, the London Years. Lovely. So, then I was lost to creating new collections for the afternoon, after that. (Love working from home)

And back when they were releasing their early stuff, in that era it wasn't customary for the singles to be included in the albums that followed. So, even if you collected the albums, you would be missing, what were essentially, the big tracks/singles.

I love electronic collections, you can add any tracks you want, in any way you want. You can build up the collections you want.

So, I have now added the Rolling Stones singles to the albums they should have been added to in the first place. Not only that, I have added the B sides to those albums as well.

And that is how you get a complete collection.

Having said they have never put out a dud album, My least favourite album is Their Satanic Majesties Request
