The Rolling
Stones Singles 1965-1967 (ABKCO): Allen Klein is one of
the most misunderstood figures in rock & roll. Whatever you think
about his business practices, he and his son Jody have been
diligent about reissuing the catalogs of such icons as the Stones
,Sam Cooke and Phil Spector with not only loving
care, but an eye towards technological improvement. As some critics
have pointed out, this series of box set reissues might seem a
little superfluous, especially since each CD contains, at most,
three or four songs, but after placing this set in my five-disc
changer, what stands out most is the remarkable Andrew Loog
Oldham production. "Satisfaction," "Get Off My Cloud," "As Tears
Go By," "19 th Nervous Breakdown," "Paint It Black," "Mother's Little
Helper," "Have You Seen Your Mother Baby, Standing in the Shadows,"
"Let’s Spend the Night Together" and "We Love You" represents one of
the most remarkable hit streaks in pop history. This period reflects
the Stones’ artistic height as a singles band; the planned next
volume, which covers the years 1968-1971, charts their growth into
an album (and arena-rock) icon. ( RT )
