Rolling Stones - Big Hits .../Ultimate Review - DVD

By the mid sixties, The Rolling Stones had established themselves as one of the most successful rock bans in the world. After bursting on the scene in 1963 with their dynamic version of Chuck Berry's Come On, there followed a stream of classic hit singles, including Not Fade Away, The Last Time and of course the timeless (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction.
In 1966, it was decided to gather these and eleven other hit singles on one compilation album. That album is regarded as a classic of its kind; its status has been enhanced by its rarity value. The album was called Big Hits.
This unique DVD tells the story behind a landmark ablum that reached #4 in the UK charts and #3 in the US. It features all new interviews with those closet to the group, including actress and singer Marianne Faithfull and Keith Altham, noted journalist and PR assistant to Mick Jagger. We also hear from Anita Pallenberg, the actress, model and fashion designer with famous romantic links to the band. Together Marianne, Keith and Anita provide personal memories that form a fascinating backdrop to the story of the album.
And there are the songs. By combining exciting archive footage of the band in action with critical analysis by a team of respected music critics, the programme is a superb re-appraisal of an album that is still regarded as one of the Stones' finest.
