Great representation of what The Stones were all about in their early days, which was working-class rhythm and blues. You really won't find a better collection of cover songs from this era or any, raw rock and roll at it's finest. I toyed with a 4.5 and a 5 rating, but then I remembered the absolute brilliance of "Tell Me", one of the Stones very first original songs that plays like The Ronettes were a rock and roll band and I had to go ahead and give this album the full five star treatment. Before the legend of the Rolling Stones, there was this---the dirty, funky rock and roll band.
