The first hits collection from The Rolling Stones, Big Hits (High Tide & Green Grass) contains their best work from 1964 to early 1966, predictably enjoying very long chart runs in both Britain and America. (US:3 UK:4)

"Big Hits (High Tide & Green Grass) is one of the evergreen hits collections - it's never been out of print, and there's a reason for that - there are almost no weak spots on this album. There are better or more complete Stones collections but this one manages to capture the band while it was in the midst of conquering the world."

"This 'greatest hits' compilation takes us back to the days before the heavier rock sound, but right up their in competition with The Beatles for the 'soul' of the youthful fans of the 1960s. Some of these songs are classic. The cover of Not Fade Away, their own Satisfaction, The Last Time and 19th Nervous Breakdown will endure as long as people need rock 'n' roll to get through the day."

"This is a great collection of early Stones hits, spanning the period 1964-1966. Mick Jagger's voice is perfect on all of these. The Rolling Stones are icons, and almost everything they ever put out is superb."

"This album contains that which made The Stones so famous: a mix of blues, rock and R & B songs. All rendered with an energy that made them unique."

"Big Hits (High Tide & Green Grass) is a solid distillation of The Rolling Stones' first few years. The album is heavy with hits, and stands the test of time - a real tribute to one of the greatest bands ever."

"Big Hits opens with Satisfaction ends with Play With Fire and every song between is a gem, especially their cover of Bobby Womack's It's All Over Now. I've said it before, I'll say it again, you can't go wrong with The Rolling Stones, they come with satisfaction guaranteed."
