The Rolling Stones : Through the Past, Darkly (Big Hits Vol. 2) (US Version Expanded Edition)

I MET A GIN SOAKED 

BAR-ROOM QUEEN IN MEMPHIS

SHE TRIED TO TAKE ME

UPSTAIRS FOR A RIDE

SHE HAD TO HEAVE ME 

RIGHT ACROSS HER SHOULDER

' CAUSE I JUST CAN'T SEEM

TO DRINK YOU OFF MY MIND

 Through the Past, Darkly 

(Big Hits Vol. 2)

 is the third 

compilation album 

by the English 

rock band

 The Rolling Stones

released in

 September 1969 

by Decca Records

 in the UK

 and 

London Records 

ABKCO Records

 in the US.

Background

According to Bruce Eder

 of AllMusic,

 the album resulted from

 "three coinciding events

  the need to acknowledge

 the death of the

 band’s founder 

Brian Jones 

whose epitaph graces

 the inside cover

 in July 1969; 

the need to get 

'Honky Tonk Women,' 

then a huge hit single, 

onto an LP; 

and to fill the

 ten-month gap

 since the release of 

Beggars Banquet a

nd get an album

 with built-in appeal

 into stores

 ahead of

 the Stones' 

first American tour 

in three years."
