A compilation of classic and new songs that condenses 40 years of history
This is a career-spanning compilation that spans the band's early to most recent periods, fusing classic hits from the past with new songs recorded in 2002.
While the album is structured like a sweeping look at the Stones' history, it's not simply a collection of past works. The inclusion of new recordings acts as a bridge between the raw rock of their early days and the refined sound of their later years, creating a sense of continuity from past to present. The sound quality is carefully unified, creating a positive impression that makes it easy to listen to without feeling the difference in age. This album is a powerful work that offers a bird's-eye view of the Stones' entire career, including the ups and downs that come with it.
