Description
Rolling Stones - Big Hits (High Tide and Green Grass). London NP1, original red label MONO pressing, released in 1966. Gatefold cover is a gorgeous E- with a tiny bit of wear; inside booklet is like new. Vinyl is E- with very light hairline scuffs; plays great. Includes original inner dust sleeve in E-condition. Definitely a collection worthy copy of one of the great "best-ofs" of all time.
From AllMusic: The first hits compilation of the Rolling Stones is still one of the most potent collections of singles that one can find. Listening to it in 1966 or today, one can understand how, almost prematurely for the 1960s -- as most of the material here dates from 1964 or 1965 -- the Stones set themselves up as the decade's most visible rock & roll rebels. The defiant, in-your-face fuzztone riff and sexually frustrated lyrics of "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" and the frenetic pounding punk anthem "Get Off of My Cloud" are highlights of a 12-song set that has no weak points, only peaks -- the louder-than-life rhythm guitars on "It's All Over Now" and "The Last Time," the wailing R&B of "Time Is on My Side," the balladry, folk, and soul style of "As Tears Go By" and "Tell Me," and all of the rest make for a body of work that's still amazing to hear decades after the fact. Appearing as it did in the late winter of 1966, this collection completely missed the group's drift into psychedelia, and it has since been supplanted by Hot Rocks and More Hot Rocks, but Big Hits is still the most concentrated dose of the early Stones at their most accessible that is to be had, short of simply playing their first five U.S. albums. The artwork and photography were pretty cool too, and the original LP had one of rock's early classic gatefold album designs.
Grading: Cover/vinyl. All LPs are conservatively graded visually. Play graded if questionable marks are perceived in the visual grading. Vinyl will be graded from Fair to Near Mint with plus (+) or (-) gradations, as defined below. Any cover wear will be described in detail.
Near Mint (NM) - Like new, but not perfect (unless sealed). Excellent (EX) - Light hairline scuffs that do not affect play. Very Good (VG) - All original gloss, but with a few more hairline scratches and scuffs that do not materially affect play. Good (G) - Lots of scuffs and light scratches that are audible in the play back; occasional hiss, clicks, and pops will be heard, but the LP still plays all the way through and the background noise does not overwhelm the listening experience. Fair (F) - LP is a "filler" copy for your collection while you seek out a nicer copy; will have lots of background noise and may even skip.
USA: Via media mail, $4 first LP and $1 each additional LP.
Canada: $12 first LP and $3 each additional LP.
Worldwide: $18 first LP and $5 each additional LP, via USPS International Priority Mail
