Various Artists

Beyond The Rolling Stones own awesome talents there lay an unparalleled understanding of music itself. The Stones managed to draw on a vast range of different American influences that included blues, rock & roll, R&B, and jazz too. They blended these styles into their own unique sound that would be celebrated the world over. This special collector’s edition presents the roots of “Their Satanic Majesties” – from Chuck Berry and Bo Diddley to Buddy Holly, from Muddy Waters, Howlin’ Wolf, Little Walter and The Coasters to Solomon Burke and Benny Spellman, among many others. All of these pioneer artists and influences are gathered here. So listen to these quintessential original recordings and enjoy a collection of great songs that continue to reverberate in the work of present day artists, especially The Rolling Stones themselves.
