THE ROLLING STONES

Singles Collection:

 The London Years

 is a compilation album

 by

 The Rolling Stones

released in 1989. 

It was released as a 

3-CD 

and a 

4-LP set.

Background

Singles Collection: 

The London Years

 was released by

 former manager

 Allen Klein's 

ABKCO Records

 who usurped control 

of the band's 

Decca/London material

 in 1970

after the 

band's departure

 from 

Decca and Klein.

The set is a 

triple album

 of every 

Rolling Stones single 

and their B-Sides 

mostly in their 

original mono mixes

 (at least as of the 2002 reissue),

 in both the UK 

and US 

encompassing their 

entire era 

with

 Decca Records

 in the United Kingdom

 and London Records

 in the United States

hence the album's title.

The original collection 

was produced by 

Andrew Loog Oldham, 

and digitally compiled 

and prepared under

 his supervision

 by P. D. Rain 

and

 Jody Klein.

With a range from

 1963 to 1971,

 the set begins 

with their 

very first UK single, 

Chuck Berry's

 "Come On", 

and runs to 

Sticky Fingers'

 "Brown Sugar" 

and 

"Wild Horses" 

which Allen Klein

 shares release rights 

with

 the Rolling Stones

The only omissions 

are four

 B-sides

 from 1970 and 1971. 

"Bitch" 

and

 "Let It Rock" 

(Live)

released in

 the UK 

on the

 "Brown Sugar" 

single

 and

 "Sway"

 (B-side to "Wild Horses"). 

Allen Klein

 did not have release rights

 to this material 

when this compilation

 was released. 

Also not included was 

"Natural Magic", 

a Jack Nitzsche instrumental, 

released as 

the B-side to 

the 1970

 Mick Jagger single

 "Memo from Turner". 

These are available on

 the box set 

Singles 1968–1971 

except 

"Let It Rock" 

which is available on

 the box set 

Singles 1971–2006

 and

 the Rarities 

1971–2003 album.

The release

also does not 

include the EPs 

released by

 the band, 

The Rolling Stones

Five by Five 

and

 Got Live If You Want It!

which are available

 on the box set 

Singles 1963–1965
