The horn-based ’60s band was coming off a chart-topping album when it agreed to tour Eastern Europe. Everything went wrong, except the music.

If you need a reminder of just how adventurous rock artists were back in ’67, this three-disc set will deliver.

The lion’s share of these recordings sound relatively enervated compared with the frequently anthemic well-known versions.

Timed to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the band’s arrival, the new set is a scaled-back affair sporting 36 tracks, many of them obscure.

Both adventurous and accessible, the album is one of the most commercially successful in the history of rock.

The box offers a musical experience that’s satisfying and uplifting, enhanced by the sonic improvements and bonus features.

The 4-CD/2-LP set collects all of their collaborations and offers abundant evidence of how well they worked together.

Not many acts deserve this degree of comprehensive treatment, but Shannon, whose hits include ‘Runaway,’ most certainly does.

The Stones have released numerous live concert recordings, but this 2012 show is one of the best, says our reviewer.

Considering that this is a 28-year-old recording made in a train station, the sound quality is impressive.
