Hot Rocks 1964-1971 is the Rolling Stones' first anthology and one of their all-time best sellers. The album's 21 tracks feature most of the band's biggest hits, including "Get Off My Cloud," "Jumpin' Jack Flash," and "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction." While the emphasis is on the hits, Hot Rocks also includes several iconic album tracks such as "Play With Fire," "Under My Thumb," and "Gimme Shelter." This 2 LP set is pressed on 180-gram black vinyl. Review: Great album!! - Very nice collection of hits. Sounds great too. Review: WARNING!! Great music, but desertcart is not selling the SACD version of this disc - I give the CD five stars for content (difficult to argue with that rating, this is a classic that the part-time Stones fan can't do without)... Five stars to desertcart for quick shipping and a pleasant experience with customer service on the phone... But zero stars to desertcart for misrepresenting what they are selling. Apparently prior reviewers didn't have this problem, but when I received my "Hybrid SACD" of Hot Rocks (March '06), I furrowed my brow in concern when I noticed that the SACD logo appeared nowhere on the packaging (it does say "DSD Remastered" on the spine of the jewel box). After tearing open the package, I found that the SACD logo appeared nowhere on the disc or in the booklet. After being inserted in my SACD compatible player, I was unable to access the SACD layer. That's because this ISN'T the SACD hybrid version that they're advertising it to be. This is the same standard CD you can buy at your local record store, Best Buy or Wal*Mart. Speaking of BB, I took this CD to my local outlet and popped the disc(s) into one of their Sony SACD players on the shelf, just to make sure it wasn't just MY unit that wouldn't play it correctly... The unit in the store did something that my player didn't, which perfectly illustrates the problem, it actually said on the player's LED display "NOT HYBRID DISC". Well, I guess THAT clears it up. Figuring that it was an honest mistake, I called desertcart and pointed out that I'd been shipped the wrong disc. Kudos to the fellow at desertcart's customer service center, he apologized and promptly sent me a replacement by overnight mail (no charge), and sent a label to affix to the package to return the CD I was erroneously sent. Only problem is... The "replacement" CD is identical to the one I was sent the first time. Giving up on desertcart after two tries, I have subsequently purchased a lightly-used proper hybrid SACD of Hot Rocks on eBay, and the disc(s) sound great. FWIW, the hybrid SACD issue of Hot Rocks appears to have only been issued in cardboard fold-out packaging (if online pics are to be believed), so if you order this CD and get it in a jewel box without any mention of it being a hybrid SACD, you've got the "regular" version of the CD. The UPC code of the SACD issue is 0-18771-96672-2. The "regular" CD has the same number save for the last one, which is -1. The first and last numbers are very small in comparison to the middle ten, so at first glance the CD's appear to have the same UPC code... But that little '1' or '2' at the end makes all the difference. I assume that this is an honest mistake on desertcart's part, but potential buyers who are searching for the SACD version of Hot Rocks have been warned. I believe that the "standard" layer on the SACD disc is identical in content and quality to the non-SACD version, so if you don't have an SACD-compatible player, none of this will be of any consequence to you.

It’s The Rolling Stones enough said
I saw The Rolling Stones for the first time in 1966 and have seen them many times, last time in 2024. I’m 78 and have seen a lot of groups in my life but no one come close to The Rolling Stones and this is a great CD.

DSD Remastered, NOT SACD - But it's the Stones! And a great collection
Seems silly to say (again) how awesome the Stones are, but, hey - I'm saying it. Hot Rocks has everything you love from the Stones early work; not a bad song in this collection. The recording quality on the discs I received is okay which is a modest disappointment since what I purchased claimed SACD on Amazon's product description. The info inside the jewel case said 'DSD Remastered'. Perhaps it would sound better on a more sophisticated system? But the truth is my 45 year old Hot Rock on vinyl sounds better. Just be prepared for the DSD Remastered version to sound good, not great. But the key thing to remember: this the Stones and a really great collection of their early work.

Good CD
After all these years, if you don't already own anything by The Stones, this would be a nice, gentle introduction.

180gm black vinyl
I got this to replace my old early reissue that never sounded good from day one, if I cranked up the bass and treble it sounded alright but still not good. This one is so much better, I can set the bass and treble flat and it sounds way better than my old reissue. Very happy to have a better sounding copy.
