Alright, but it misses the point
That is thanks to their old label ABCKO, who keep milking the Rolling Stones name with releases like 'Hot Rocks 1964-1971,' 'Singles Collection: The London Years,' and 'Big Hits!,' which was a compilation released back in the '60s, admittedly. The Rolling Stones have plenty of collections out there, mostly focusing on their early (1964-1970) days.

'Jump Back: The Best of The Rolling Stones 71-93' has it's moments, and it has the hits, but not much else. A more appropriate title would be 'Greatest Hits 1971-1993. '

However, what is here is great. 'Brown Sugar,' 'Undercover of the Night' (you hate to say you love it, but you do), 'Wild Horses' and one of my personal favorites, the ballad 'Angie. ' So there is some great material here, and it again, it has the hits. So therefore, it gets three stars.

Why not five, you may ask? Well, here's the thing. What I would like to see is a Stones' Virgin era (1971-present) compilation that combines hits and perhaps some album tracks, which are recordings that deserved to be, but for some reason never were, hits.

Where are 'Some Girls,' from the 1978 album by the same name, 'She Was Hot,' from 1983's 'Undercover of the Night,' 'Dancing with Mr. D,' one of my personal favorites, from 1973's 'Goats Head Soup,' and perhaps another album classic like 'Black Limousine' from 1981's 'Tattoo You'?

Now granted, the chances are casual Stones fans that only have heard the hits have not heard those tracks before. That is actually quite a shame, as they are classic Stones tracks that all easily could have been and should have been hits.

Overall, if you are a casual Stones fan who only wants the songs they hear on the radio every day, buy 'Jump Back. ' You'll be satisfied and you'll get the radio hits. Otherwise, stick with 'Forty Licks' for now. That is the most comprehensive Stones collection on the market.

If you are real Stones fan like myself, all we can do is hope that eventually the Stones will release a collection full of album tracks perhaps blended in with some hits. 'Sucking in the Seventies' is the closest thing to that type of compilation, which is a little scary.

Recommended for the casual Stones fan, but otherwise, stick to 'Forty Licks' and 'Sucking in the Seventies. ' .


ONE BAD SONG !!!!!
I wish someone would get it through the ROLLING STONES. . . "heads". . . that the song (UNDERCOVER OF THE NIGHT), is not a "HIT" song. In fact, it is one of there most stupid, terrible songs . . . EVER. WHY, it is on every hits album. . . I don't know. BUT. Replace it with "SHE'S SO COLD ", and then you got a REAL hit. Which is never on the hits albums. Which is a MAJOR dissapointment every time the STONES release a hits CD. Just ask all there real fans. . . . . . . . . they'll agree with me.


Jump Back-The Best of the Rolling Stones 1971-1993
You might be better served by purchasing "Forty Licks" if it is still in pring. Good, but not great collection of later Stones tunes.


MAKE ANOTHER ONE
2 of this hits album ( One that has the 80's and 90's stuff and maybe "one shot to the body, and she's so cold" ) this album is really pointless. without another VOL. It's good but needs another. The rolling stones still do not have a later day hits album. STILL. Another volume of this would be PERFECT. Why set on the 80's and 90's song's hit albums. The rolling stones DON'T need the money. Cd's are going out real fast, so they better make the money off "VOL. 2" real FAST. So listen-up RECORD COMPANY and MICK.
