In celebration of their 40th anniversary, the Stones released a career encompassing retrospective album titled Forty Licks.This two-disc compilation features forty tracks from five decades of their career to date, including four new songs from 2002. Das CD-Album 'Forty Licks' von Rolling Stones (2002) - Alle Infos, Songs und mehr.
The Rolling Stones started in the early 1960s as one of many groups from the British blues/rhythm and blues scene. They knew to get great fame quickly, with a perfect combination of hit singles and mediagenic scandals.
In the 1970s, Keith Richards has become a bona fide guitar hero and was Mick Jagger an unlikely sex symbol. The world was a stage for The Stones and musically they continued paths between blues, rock and what could wait for them on the next corner, such as reggae, funk or disco. Despite attacks of the ever-changing fashion, solo albums, or simply the rising of the age they knew during all decades to persist and grow into a venerable institution that refuses to lay down his title of 'the best Rock 'n' roll group called' of the world '. I have this version, but mine has a slipcase with yet another catalog number: CDVDX2932528 on the bottom and 813352 on the top. On the bottom of the back of the slipcase is printed almost the same verbiage as on the back of the cd case, but reads: (P) 2002 ABKCO Music & Records, Inc., Virgin Music Holland B.V. And the Decca Record Company Limited.
(C) 2002 ABKCO Music & Records, Inc. And Promotone B.V. Issued by Virgin Music Holland B.V. Under a joint venture arrangement between Virgin Music Holland B.V. And Universal Music Operations Limited in conjunction with ABKCO Music & Records, Inc. UK: CDVDX2964.
Printed in the EU. Not sure if the addition of this slipcase is enough to make it a separate version.
Like ', is a career-spanning compilation that wouldn't have happened without the unprecedented, blockbuster success of. Where ' set is hurt by the simple fact that there are too many damn comps on the market, benefit greatly from the fact that there has not been any set that chronicles all their recordings from the '60s through the '90s.
It also benefits that this is the concept behind the record - it's meant to be a journey through their biggest songs, not just the number one hits. Of course, couldn't have had a CD containing just their number ones that spanned one disc, much less two, because they never topped the charts that frequently. This is a liberating thing (compare it to ', which got weighed down with the number ones, resulting in some subpar selections), since it opens the door for almost every song of note to feature on this collection, along with four new songs (not great, but solid songs, all). Sure, there are many great moments missing, and not just fan favorites or, either - 'Play With Fire,' '2000 Light Years From Home,' 'Tell Me,' 'Heart of Stone,' 'Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo (Heartbreaker),' 'Lady Jane,' 'Time Is on My Side,' 'Waiting on a Friend,' 'I'm Free,' and 'We Love You' are all missing in action. The thing is, as the disc is playing, you don't miss any of them, and it feels like all the hits are here. At first, the nonchronological order seems to be a mistake, but both discs flow well, especially since they're roughly divided thematically (the first is devoted largely to the '60s, with the rest on the second).
Yes, made great albums that should be in any serious rock collection, but if you just want a summary of their best moments, is it; it does its job as well as did.
