Editorial Review:
The most comprehensive anthology of the Rolling Stones' prime early work collects every single from the beginning up through 1971, A- and B-sides. All the obvious hits are here ("Satisfaction," "Jumping Jack Flash," "Honky Tonk Women," "Brown Sugar") as well as several B-sides ("Stoned," "I Want to Be Loved," "I Don't Know Why AKA I Don't Know Why I Love You") not previously released on CD. But it's the unrelenting succession of great cuts that make this a landmark collection. No band in the history of rock and roll has a catalog as substantial and hard-hitting. Quite simply, one the most essential rock collections ever released. --Rob O'Connor
Singles Collection: The London Years Reviews:
singles collection 
2009-02-27 - The CD arrived in two days and it's just as good as brand new. I'm 100% satasfied!
What can a poor boy do, except to sing for a rock 'n' roll band?
2009-01-17 - This box set includes all Rolling Stones singles (a-sides and b-sides) released by London Records in the US and the UK. Practically all these songs are great, even the b-sides. There are a handful of songs that aren't good, most notably two singles that were released in 1975 which the Stones never wanted to be released. But overall the songs are great and well worth listening to.
The Stones' best years....
2009-01-06 - Includes most of the Stones' best work - especially their bluesy roots stuff. Love it (well, most of it anyway!).
All glitter and tarnished gold 
2007-02-26 - THE ROLLING STONES SINGLES COLLECTION * THE LONDON YEARS consists of three CDs packed in the LP-sized box that was in vogue 10 or 15 years ago-- in hindsight, a wastefully expensive package. The included 72-page giant book is of recycled-quality paper. It's pages are dyed several starkly annoying colors, and all graphics are in low-grade B&W. Two pages of text in front, and two in back bookend the spread out song lyrics and lousy-looking photos. A hack job, design-wise.
The music is little better, sonically. There's a persistent dullness to a lot of these tracks. Andrew Oldham is credited with oversight of this project, so it's surprising that the transfers aren't more vibrant. This great material has been badly served. Recommended only for serious fans or completists. A middling rating for a mediocre product.
