Album Notes & Community Reviews

Issued to commemorate their fortieth anniversary, 'Forty Licks' was the first compilation to successfully bridge the complicated legal divide between the band's Decca/ABKCO-owned 1960s catalog and their later, self-owned material. The sprawling, two-disc set provides an expansive, stadium-sized overview of their unparalleled run as the 'World's Greatest Rock & Roll Band'. The inclusion of four newly recorded tracks seamlessly tied their gritty R&B origins to their modern, arena-rock longevity.
