Original Release Date: January 1972

It's the rare greatest-hits album that takes on a life of its own. Generally,
best-of collections are superceded by updated retrospectives. Hot Rocks is one
of the rare exceptions to the rule. Originally released in 1972,

Goats Head Soup is the weakest album that the Stones released in the 70's. That
being said, it is still a better than average album. The streak of masterpieces
from Beggars to Exile had to end at some point.
