Description
Artist: THE ROLLING STONES
Title: “Through the Past Darkly (Big Hits Vol. 2)”
Label: LONDON. USA pressing. Catalog number is NPS-3.
Year: 1969
Condition:
NOTE: This album came to us STILL SEALED in original factory shrink wrap as part of the estate of a shop owner who maintained a personal collection of fine vintage LPs, many of them sealed.
This LP has the original unique octagon-shaped cover and is STILL SEALED in original factory shrink wrap. No bar code. Shrink wrap is sparkling clean and tight, with only a couple very tiny rips (less than one inch) that are barely noticeable.
Front has rare NPS-3 hype/promo sticker that states: “including Honky Tonk Women”.
Awesome opportunity for the serious STONES collector to acquire or upgrade to a sweet sealed copy of this classic LP!
Review:
“This album was spawned by three coinciding events -- the need to acknowledge the death of band co-founder Brian Jones (whose epitaph graces the inside cover) in July of 1969; the need to get "Honky Tonk Women," then a huge hit single, onto an LP; and to fill the ten-month gap since the release of Beggars Banquet and get an album with built-in appeal into stores ahead of the Stones' first American tour in three years. The fact that the Stones had amassed a sufficient number of hits since their last greatest-hits compilation in early 1966 (Big Hits: High Tide and Green Grass) made this a no-brainer, and its song lineup was as potent at the time as any compilation of hit singles by any artist. From the group's excursions into fey psychedelia ("Paint It, Black," "Ruby Tuesday," "She's a Rainbow," "Dandelion"), space rock ("2000 Light Years From Home"), punk decadence ("Mother's Little Helper"), and back to straight-ahead rock & roll ("Jumpin' Jack Flash"), some of it with a topical edge ("Street Fighting Man"), it's all incredibly potent, though also redundant to the extent that "Ruby Tuesday" and "Let's Spend the Night Together" had previously appeared on two U.S. albums. The presence of "Honky Tonk Women" propelled it to gold record status upon release on both sides of the Atlantic, although the simultaneously released British version (long out of print, except as a bootleg CD) is different and more confusing, but also more diverse and rewarding musically than the American version. Both this album and Big Hits: High Tide and Green Grass have been supplanted by Hot Rocks and More Hot Rocks, but are still handy in their tight respective focuses.”
