The Rolling Stones Singles 1966-1971 span a crucial period in the bandâs evolution, when their move towards the experimental and psychedelic sounds of âWe Love Youâ and âSheâs a Rainbowâ gave way to the rootsy, blues-based rock of âHonky Tonk Womenâ and âWild Horses.â Also during this time, guitarist/founding member Brian Jones was replaced by Mick Taylor â the first lineup change since the groupâs founding. Amidst the stylistic shifts and tumult between â66 and â71, the Stones racked up seven Top 10 singles on both sides of the Atlantic, including four Number Ones.
âPaint It, Blackâ topped the charts internationally in 1966. Its eerie tone and sitar line played by Brian Jones sounded nothing like what the band had previously recorded. Singles 1966-1971 contain both the US and UK versions of the 45; the latterâs B-side âLong Long Whileâ is a rare non-LP track. Other rare B-sides in the set include âWhoâs Driving Your Planeâ from the US Top 10 hit âHave You Seen Your Mother, Baby, Standing In The Shadow?,â and âChild Of The Moonâ from UK #1 âJumpinâ Jack Flash.â Stones collectors will also take satisfaction in the mono mixes of âWe Love Youâ and its flipside âDandelionâ (1967), which both contain a reprise at the end with an ode to the other track. These are both exclusive to the single release.
Released in August 1968, the picture sleeve for the âStreet Fighting Manâ/âNo Expectationsâ single depicts protestors being brutalized by police. After the Chicago Police Department ravaged anti-war protestors outside the Democratic National Convention later that same month, the Stonesâ US label withdrew the single, making it one of the most sought-after collectorâs items in the bandâs canon. The Rolling Stones Singles 1966-1971 collection faithfully reproduces that controversial record art, and also includes the 1971 UK maxi-single version of âStreet Fighting Man,â with âSurprise Surpriseâ and âEverybody Needs Somebody To Love.â While not technically a Rolling Stones song, Mick Jaggerâs âMemo From Turnerâ from the Performance soundtrack is included. Originally released as a single in 1970, the song features slide guitar by Ry Cooder, and its B-side âNatural Magicâ is a Cooder instrumental.
While every track on The Rolling Stones 1966-1971 box set was recorded in the time frame suggested by its title, some of the records were originally released later. âI Donât Know Why,â âOut Of Timeâ and the stereo mix of the 1969 #1 hit âHonky Tonk Womenâ were 45s that came out in 1975-76, around the time ABKCO issued the Stones rarities album Metamorphosis. âSympathy For The Devilâ was remixed separately by The Neptunes and Fat Boy Slim in 2003 and originally released as part of a Super Audio CD at the time â it exists here as a 7â vinyl record.
