The Rolling Stones’ Hot Rocks 1964-1971 has re-entered the Billboard 200 at No. 171 for the week ending Aug. 8, making its 440th week overall on the coveted album chart. Hot Rocks originally reached No. 4 in early 1972, shortly after its release.
Hot Rocks is a compilation of the Rolling Stones' early music recorded from 1964 to 1971. It became the legendary band’s biggest-selling release, curated as a “cash-in for the 1971 Christmas season” after they parted ways with manager Allen Klein and his Decca/ABKCO Records company to form Rolling Stones Records, according to Ultimate Classic Rock. The band had no say in the track selection for Hot Rocks, as they had previously signed over control of their early catalog to Klein.
A 1971 interview by Rolling Stone questioned the absence of songs such as “Lady Jane,” “Not Fade Away,” “It’s All Over Now,” “She’s a Rainbow,” and “Have You Seen Your Mother, Baby, Standing in the Shadow,” further highlighting the fact that the band had an extraordinarily prolific catalog to curate from.
Jagger once looked back on some of the classic songs that did make the cut. In an interview with Rolling Stone, he revealed that Richards originally didn’t want “Satisfaction,” the band’s first No. 1 hit, to be released as a single.
Fifty-five years after Hot Rocks 1964-1971 remains more than a greatest hits compilation—it is the ultimate introduction to the Rolling Stones for generations of fans.
