You can't argue with perfection. This may very well be the best grouping of Stones tracks possible. It got usurped by the Hot Rocks doubles to the point where my octagonal cover vinyl copy never got played. However, since this 8-track copy sold, I'm finally paying attention to it. Since I've never been married to the track order of either the US or UK version, the song order reshuffling for time purposes doesn't impact my enjoyment either way. Every single track is a uber-familiar Stones cold classic
I'm mean how can you argue with "Street Fighting Man," "Dandilion" "2,000 Light Years From Home," "She's A Rainbow," "Have You Seen Your Mother, Baby Standing In The Shadow" or "Paint It, Black?" Or "Mother's Little Helper," "Ruby Tuesday," "Let's Spend (Some Time) Together, "Honky Tonk Woman" or "Jumpin' Jack Flash?" Which would you drop to make it an even 10 of this 11-track US version? The UK version had "You Better Move On," "We Love You" and "Sitting On The Fence" and left off "Paint It, Black" and "Ruby Tuesday."
It's a gas gas gas.
