Info for Hot Rocks 1964-1971

Hot Rocks 1964–1971 is the first compilation album of Rolling Stones music. If faced with the absurd dilemma of picking one album to represent the meaning of rock music, the Rolling Stones compilation Hot Rocks - which collects most of their commercially and artistically successful songs from 1964 to 1971--would certainly be in the running.

A double album (originally released as a double LP), Hot Rocks' 22 tracks each have the ring of historical inevitability about them; more importantly, of course, they are great tunes. From the soulful wailing of 'Time Is On My Side' (the only non-Jagger/Richards original here) to the nervous pop shuffle of 'Mother's Little Helper' through the Indian-influenced psychedelia of 'Paint It Black' and the gospel-inflected strains of 'You Can't Always Get What You Want,' it is hard to argue with the power of this music.

Many of these songs have been tattooed on the cultural psyche--the amped-up rock nirvana of 'Jumpin' Jack Flash' and 'Satisfaction' (with their indelible guitar riffs), for example--but everything here sparkles and thrills: the mod clatter of '19th Nervous Breakdown,' the in-your-face sass of 'Brown Sugar.' At their very best, as on 'Sympathy for the Devil' and 'Gimme Shelter,' the Stones prove capable not only of creating compressed rock masterpieces, but of making music emblematic of their entire generation (and future generations). The Rolling Stones are often referred to as 'the World's Greatest Rock Band.' Hot Rocks makes that claim hard to dispute.

Recorded from October 1964 – January 1971
Produced by Andrew Loog Oldham, Jimmy Miller, The Rolling Stones, Glyn Johns

Digitally remastered

About the remastering process:
"Many years of research went into locating the original mono and stereo analog tapes that would be used in ABKCO's Rolling Stones Remastered Series. That research revealed a treasure trove of first generation tapes - true stereo masters from The Stones' 1964 Chess Studios sessions including the unedited version of "2120 South Michigan Avenue," Beggar's Banquet at its correct speed and Let It Bleed with splicing that indicates that the original intention was to leave little spacing between each cut.

For the analog to digital transfers, vintage reel-to-reel tape machines were utilized - a modified Ampex 351 with original tube electronics (full track mono and two track stereo) and an Ampex ATR-102 modified with Aria Discrete Class-A Electronics (full track mono and two track stereo). A Sonoma DSD digital audio workstation was the chosen high resolution format and Meitner Design ADC8 and DAC8 MKlV converters were used for the conversion process. Cables used were the cryogenically frozen type supplied to us by Gus Skinas of Super Audio Center. Gus also provided much guidance to Jody Klein, Steve Rosenthal and myself for our first time use of DSD technology. For this HD release, the Bob Ludwig mastered DSD files were converted to both 176.4kHz and 88.2kHz high resolution PCM with Weiss Saracon conversion software."
