Big Hits (High Tide and Green Grass) is the first official compilation album by The Rolling Stones, released on 28 March 1966, on London Records in the US and on 4 November 1966, by Decca Records in the UK. The two releases featured different cover art and track listing.
The front cover for the American release was used for the rear photo on the UK edition.Reaching #3 on the US charts, where it remained for two years, Big Hits (High Tide and Green Grass) proved to be a big smash and currently remains a popular Rolling Stones retrospective. The UK Big Hits (High Tide and Green Grass) includes tracks released after the American edition appeared. The Rolling Stones’ debut 1963 single, a cover of Chuck Berry’s “Come On”, was included, but its more successful follow-up, “I Wanna Be Your Man” — composed by rivals (although in reality as friends) Lennon–McCartney — was left off the album. Big Hits (High Tide and Green Grass) reached no. 4 in the UK charts.
