Very hard to compete with.
"Hot Rocks" must come closest, followed by "Jump Back".
As with "Hot Rocks" ommiting "The Last Time" (and therefore holding it back from being the definitive 60's statement), "Rolled Gold" ommiting "You Can't Always Get What You Want" and "Mother's Little Helper" are strange.
However, the expanded version "Rolled Gold+" from 2007 comes to terms with 12 extra songs.

If I think about compilations of the Decca/London period, Nothing can beat "Hot Rocks" + "More Hot Rocks".
But this "Rolled Gold" have a very, very beautiful front cover. The faces of 6 stones, just like "Metamorphosis"
The picture on the back cover is from Lyon 1970.

Exactly the same for me! Hahaha!
I was 12 years old in 1976. We are life long Stonesfans!

What make them superior to Rolled Gold and Rolled Gold, Vol. 2, in your opinion?

The expanded Rolled Gold contains all of the tracks on Hot Rocks and about half of More Hot Rocks minus the rarities. However, Rolled Gold also adds some tracks that do not appear on Hot Rocks or More Hot Rocks like Little Red Rooster, Carol, Yesterday's Papers and I Wanna Be Your Man so I like the expanded Rolled Gold as an Abkco retrospective better.

Volume 2 wasn't widely released. As far as I know it was only issued in Germany but I'm happy to be proven wrong.
What's certain is that it was never released in the UK.

Why I prefer HR & MHR ? I could easily explain it in my natural language in 15 or 20 lines, but in english it's not so easy for me. And it have something to do with nostalgia ...
(the new 2CD Rolled Gold have such an horrible front cover - I bought it, checked it to add informations in my data-base, and it's now taking dust on the shelves for eternity - just because of the cover ...)

It was the first compilation I bought myself. I already had cassette recordings of Milestones and 20 Super Hits + a cassette release of Solid Rock.
In the early 80s I listened to Rolled Gold over and over again. A lovely compilation, from the brilliant music, the album cover and the inner sleeve «booklet» etc. Great stuff! Always prefered this one to Hot Rocks, but that probably has to do with getting this one first

It was a UK only release, right? That probably explains why people in NA prefer HOT ROCKS.
