BIG HITS (HIGH TIDE AND GREEN GRASS) is the first compilation album by The Rolling Stones. With different cover art and track listings, it was released on 28 March 1966, on London Records in the US and on 4 November 1966, by Decca Records in the UK. The American edition focused on songs from 1964 and 1965 with two new tunes: the recent "19th Nervous Breakdown" and the re-recorded "Time Is On My Side" with the guitar intro. The British version covered a longer period, from the group's first single A-side in 1963, "Come On", to several songs from 1966, including the recent hit "Have You Seen Your Mother, Baby, Standing In The Shadow?" The album was certified the album double platinum, signifying over two million copies sold. USA issues have a different track-order than UK issues. The USA cover image is the back-cover image in the UK. The Stones' first compilation album is one of their best, but a lean collection of a dozen of their biggest songs through early 1966, including "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction," "Time Is On My Side" and "Get Off Of My Cloud." This is basically a greatest-hits set, but they were still a better singles band than album group at this point, and BIG HITS (HIGH TIDE AND GREEN GRASS) does a great job of summing up the Stones' first two years.

The first hits compilation of The Rolling Stones is still one of the most potent collections of singles that one can find. Listening to it in 1966 or today, one can understand how, almost prematurely for the 1960s - as most of the material here dates from 1964 or 1965 - The Stones set themselves up as the decade's most visible Rock & Roll rebels. The defiant, in-your-face fuzztone riff and sexually frustrated lyrics of "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" and the frenetic pounding punk anthem "Get Off Of My Cloud" are highlights of a 12-song set that has no weak points, only peaks - the louder-than-life rhythm guitars on "It's All Over Now" and "The Last Time," the wailing R&B of "Time Is On My Side," the balladry, folk, and soul style of "As Tears Go By" and "Tell Me," and all of the rest make for a body of work that's still amazing to hear decades after the fact. Appearing as it did in the late winter of 1966, this collection completely missed the group's drift into psychedelia, and it has since been supplanted by Hot Rocks and More Hot Rocks, but BIG HITS (HIGH TIDE AND GREEN GRASS) is still the most concentrated dose of the early Stones at their most accessible that is to be had, short of simply playing their first five U.S. albums. The artwork and photography were pretty cool too, and the original LP had one of rock's early classic gatefold album designs.
