Customer Reviews

A disappointing compilation
Not so long ago Rhino Records were a label of quality in that they were the premier re-release record company - I still play their Billboard year collections (pop and soul/R&B with great pleasure). However they seem to have lost the plot based on this current series of covers of well known groups - their R&B and Rock tributes to the Beatles ("Daytrippers" and "Revolution" respectively) disappointed and this Rolling Stones tribute sadly continues the same downward trend.

Not only are two versions of the same song included (Street Fighting Man) but neither version excels (Ramones or Rod Stewart) because they simply do not have the street swagger of the original; Linda Rondstadt's "Tumbling dice" still comes across as saccharine MOR and while Devo's "Satisfaction" comes across as the Stones played by Kraftwerk, it soon grates after a few plays versus the original.

What Rhino seem to have lost in looking for appropriate covers is unearthing any good examples that take the original and either enhance or re-interpret the Stones version. The closest are Dwight Yoakam with his honky tonk country "The last time"; in the same vein, the Burritos "Wild Horses" derived from the well documented Gram Parsons/Stones connection, and Little Richard who at least attempts to rock out on "Brown Sugar", recorded during his 1970s Warner Bros recordings revival period.
