Various - Stoned To The Bone - Songs The Rolling Stones Made Famous (@320)












The Rolling Stones remain a fundamental ingredient for rock music and it's for sure that they will be among the very few groups and artists that will be mentioned when rock will die and will be a museum section and a topic for the researchers of the future. It's therefore a shame that for three and a half years that this blog exists, there hasn't been a single post dedicated to them. Better late than never I reckon. The return after 38 years of Exile On Main Street to the top of the UK album chart, as well as its runner-up position in the US album chart was an excellent opportunity for me in my attempt to make up my unexplainable omission.
I think (any comments that will prove the opposite are welcome) that the uploaded cd is the first in the long series of premiums that compiled tracks that influenced/were covered by the Stones. It's not a surprise that it came along with a 1997 issue of the Greek magazine Zoo that, believe it or not, could only be compared with the best moments of Mojo! The compilation itself is of course full of blues and early rock'n'roll standards, which comprised the solid ground on which the Stones built their career.

  1. I also love the One More For The Road collection of the same magazine. A really great one!
    Too bad I don't have more VAs from ZOO Magazine.
