There are many Rolling Stones compilations out there, I've got a few myself. This one though is a curiosity. In most other countries it is sold under the title 'Solid Rock' but this issue from Spain is called 'Gigantes Del Pop - Vol.25' released a year after the 'Solid Rock' version.
The label bears the 'Decca' logo but all the copyright details etc. are in Spanish.
Going back to their very early stuff, the album includes 'Carol', 'Not Fade Away', 'Route 66' etc., with classics like '(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction', 'Jumpin' Jack Flash' and 'Honky Tonk Women' adding to the 15 tracks here.
There looks to be over 50 albums in this series, some just straight compilations and others are re-issues of other albums - e.g. Vol.29 is the Cat Stevens LP 'The First Cut Is The Deepest', Vol.42 is John Mayalls 'Blues Roots'.
This came to me from a friend who was given boxes of albums from a house clearance. It's a nice novelty addition to the collection.
