THROUGH THE PAST, DARKLY (BIG HITS VOL. 2) is the second compilation album by the English rock band The Rolling Stones, released in September 12, 1969 by Decca Records in the UK and London Records/ABKCO Records in the US. Picking up where 1966's Big Hits (High Tide And Green Grass) left off, THROUGH THE PAST, DARKLY (BIG HITS VOL. 2) collects 11 songs from a crucial period in The Stones' history: the years when they went from being a great singles band to a great album band. Classics like "Jumpin' Jack Flash" and "Honky Tonk Women" are here, along with lesser-known numbers like "Dandelion" and "2000 Light Years From Home." In August 2002 THROUGH THE PAST, DARKLY (BIG HITS VOL. 2) was reissued in a new remastered SACD digipak by ABKCO Records. This product is a hybrid Super Audio CD (SACD) and has been encoded with two layers: one is a normal CD program and the other is an SACD of the same repertoire. The product is playable on both SACD-compatible machines as well as standard CD players.
PERSONNEL: Mick Jagger – lead vocals, percussion, harmonica; Brian Jones – guitar, harmonica, sitar, piano, tambura, mellotron, recorder, organ, backing vocals; Keith Richards – guitar, backing vocals, bass guitar, double bass; Mick Taylor – guitar; Bill Wyman – bass guitar, organ, double bass, backing vocals; Charlie Watts – drums, percussion; John Paul Jones - string arrangement.
This album was spawned by three coinciding events - the need to acknowledge the death of band co-founder Brian Jones (whose epitaph graces the inside cover) in July of 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 and get an album with built-in appeal into stores ahead of The Stones' first American tour in three years. The fact that The Stones had amassed a sufficient number of hits since their last greatest-hits compilation in early 1966 made this a no-brainer, and its song lineup was as potent at the time as any compilation of hit singles by any artist. From the group's excursions into fey psychedelia ("Paint It, Black", "Ruby Tuesday", "She's A Rainbow", "Dandelion"), space rock ("2000 Light Years From Home"), punk decadence ("Mother's Little Helper"), and back to straight-ahead Rock & Roll ("Jumpin' Jack Flash"), some of it with a topical edge ("Street Fighting Man"), it's all incredibly potent, though also redundant to the extent that "Ruby Tuesday" and "Let's Spend The Night Together" had previously appeared on two U.S. albums. The presence of "Honky Tonk Women" propelled it to gold record status upon release on both sides of the Atlantic, although the simultaneously released British version (long out of print, except as a bootleg CD) is different and more confusing, but also more diverse and rewarding musically than the American version. Both this album and Big Hits (High Tide And Green Grass) have been supplanted by Hot Rocks and More Hot Rocks, but are still handy in their tight respective focuses. It's a brilliant reminder of the essential ingredient Brian Jones brought to this band. The dreamy textures and imaginative instrumentation are eternally fresh, it all still sounds revelatory. Yes, a major part of the chemistry is Mick's charisma and Keith's bite, but the Brian era had color and a beauty that went missing with his passing.
