It does seem that looking back on the 2 greatest hits collections, High Tide and Through The Past Darkly, they are great albums. So here are some notes on why it's compiled the way it is - we all know that London/Decca had little rhyme or reason for why they selected tracks and sequenced the RS early LPs. Do you remember how great it sounded on the radio or in a club? The truth is that I believe these were made to be played in mono. This has been something that I've wanted to see for a long time! I finally got tired of waiting and made it myself! The complete London/Decca studio recordings presented the way they were meant to be heard! I was one of the many searching for any stereo version of an RS song - I think in part because they were so hard to find and also we all spent many years listening to the earlier records in re-channeled stereo. Now, along with the Exile mono single mixes, it's really complete. After that, I decided to add the Got Live If You Want It, both EP and LP combined to form a new "LP", volume 8 which turned out pretty well. and then I completed the set with the missing tracks (marked ** below). I took 24/192 FLACS of the ABKCO release and did a fresh conversion to 320. This time I rebuilt it from the ground up and I can confidently say that this is the most complete collection of The Stones' work in mono, packaged nicely and coherently. As with my original post, there is no song duplication. ABKCO's needless duplication meant that about 40 duplicate ABKCO tracks were left over when I was compiling this set.
Too bad they chose to use their same old UK/US version strategy (Out Of Our Heads, Aftermath, etc). I added some songs overlooked by ABKCO in past releases and they were added to their set. There are also some hints that it might have been the case. I always wondered if this collection inspired ABKCO to finally get off their duffs and finally issue the 'official' version. With Aftermath, they put down roots.About a year ago, I got FLACs of some mono Exile On Main Street singles and then I know that at some point my original post (from Oct 2015) would have to be revised. Before 1965, the band was, in some ways, just a new branch on an old tree. In the absence of love, the bitter man turns to power.

Brian Jones had all but given up on the guitar, turning instead to exoticisms like the dulcimer, marimba, koto, and sitar-textures that gave the band’s sound a new dimension, sublimating the physicality of rock and blues for something tenser and more introspective, as on “Paint It Black” and “I Am Waiting.”Īnd where The Beatles and contemporaries like The Kinks invoked their Britishness as something chipper and quaint, the Stones of Aftermath took on an almost gothic cast, projecting castellated worlds where moody princes stared out their windows to “Under My Thumb” and “Lady Jane,” stewing in their juices. Like The Beatles’ Revolver, The Beach Boys’ Pet Sounds, and Bob Dylan’s Blonde on Blonde (all released in mid-1966), Aftermath was an evolutionary step not only in the band’s development, but in the vocabulary of rock music in general. When asked at a press conference a couple of days earlier what the difference was between the Beatles and the Stones, an irritated Mick Jagger said that one band had five people and the other had four, but the scene in Lynn-replicated a handful of times throughout the tour-pointed toward a fundamental difference: The Beatles talked about revolution, and the Stones seemed to revel in personifying it.
As it rained, the fans in Lynn were tear-gassed by cops as they rushed the stage.
They were measurably famous now: chart success, big advances, new cars, country houses. The week The Rolling Stones released Aftermath in the US, the band touched down in New York for a month-long tour starting in the industrial city of Lynn, Massachusetts.
