Reviews Customer Reviews for Big Hits High Tide And Green Grass      An awesome collection for 1963 to 1966      Rating:      If you are considering a purchase of Big Hits (High Tide and Green Grass), from March 1966, the main thing that you need to do is to make a careful comparison of the song list against the 2-disk album, Hot Rocks 1964-1971, the first disk of which covers a similar Stones period. The difference in songs? In a nutshell: It's All Over Now, Tell Me, Not Fade Away, and Good Times, Bad Times are not on Hot Rocks 1964-1971. Perhaps more importantly, though, the awesome Paint It, Black is on Hot Rocks 1964-1971 but not on Big Hits (High Tide and Green Grass). By buying Hot Rocks you get more bang for your buck, because the 2nd disk of Hot Rocks has a lot more great stuff from 1966 to 1969. Also, Hot Rocks (2 disks) is only a dollar or two more than Big Hits (with only 1 disk). In short, get Big Hits only if you do not have all of the early albums and you really want the above-mentioned songs. Does the music stand up to the test of time? Like gangbusters. The first 10 Stones LPs are a must-have for any serious CD collection.     Customer Reviews for Big Hits High Tide And Green Grass Cd      Superb early years Stones!      Rating:      This is a great collection of early Stones hits, spanning the period of 1963-1966. Certainly, fans of the '70s Stones may or may not appreciate this, but I have always been partial to '60s Stones, but I enjoy all Stones. Mick Jagger's voice is perfect on all of these. But my advice is don't buy this version of the album. If you can, try to hunt down the British version of this on the Decca label. 'Paint It Black' is on that version, among others that aren't here. That is the version to own. But, if you can't find that version, the US version is great as well. It's always rare to see 'Good Times, Bad Times' on a compilation, and so I give ABCKO tons of credit for putting it on here. And, the sound quality is excellent! Overall, take my advice and buy the British version (if you can find it, that is). It is a lot better. But, the Rolling Stones are icons, and almost everything they ever put out is superb. Highly recommended to any Stones fan. The first Stones comp remains one of the best. ENJOY!!!
