Satisfaction is a 2-CD compilation of music by The Rolling Stones. Like The Who, The Stones released a relentless string of classic rock singles throughout the 1960s without ever translating their genius into a sustained album format; 1968’s Beggars Banquet finally came close, but in the end it was a transitional work – during which founder member Brian Jones was increasingly marginalized – whose most seminal tracks, included on this compilation, were accompanied by others of less enduring substance. Satisfaction includes a total of twenty-five essential Stones tracks, starting with 1965’s “Satisfaction”, the band’s first self-composed classic single and one of the most influential garage-rock songs of all time. The album ends with the single version of “Honky Tonk Women”, the song which ushered in the Stones’ classic album period. A slight variant on two previous Decca/London double-LP compilations, Hot Rocks and Rolled Gold.
