Singles Collection: The London Years

Singles Collection: The London Years (1989) is a compilation of The Rolling Stones' UK single A-sides and B-sides from the 1960s into the early 1970s, documenting their shift from American blues and British rhythm and blues toward rock, blues rock and occasional psychedelic pop. The collection juxtaposes raw, R&B-rooted covers and early rockers with increasingly original, studio-crafted songs that showcase the developing songwriting partnership of Mick Jagger and Keith Richards and the band's expanding sonic palette. It highlights both well known singles and lesser-known B-sides that mark the group's formative musical evolution.
