Release

The songs chosen for

 the American version

 of Big Hits

 were roughly

 split between originals

 written by

 Mick Jagger and Keith Richards

 and those by American

 R&B

 and

rock 'n' roll 

musicians,

 with most of the songs 

taken from the firs

t five US Stones albums 

released by 

London Records.

The album cover photo 

for the US edition 

was taken at

 Franklin Canyon Park

 in the mountains

The UK

 Big Hits

 (High Tide and Green Grass)

 includes tracks 

released after

 the American 

edition appeared. 

The Rolling Stones'

 debut 1963

 single,

 a cover of 

Chuck Berry's 

"Come On", 

was included, 

but the more 

successful follow-up,

 "I Wanna Be Your Man" 

composed by rivals 

(although in reality as friends) 

Lennon–McCartney 

 was left off the album. 

However, 

an early 

slick-proof of the album, 

displayed on

 Exhibitionism in London

 in 2016, 

showed the track 

as slated for inclusion, 

but it was ultimately

 replaced by

 "Time Is on My Side"

 by 

Jerry Ragovoy

 (as 'Norman Meade').

 The fisheye lens-view photo
