The mightiest of late-'80s Manchester ensembles had the world at its feet before entering the long, dark tunnel of litigation. This tidy compilation begins with a few archival indie singles then strides into the glorious but fleeting period that produced gems like "I Wanna Be Adored," "Waterfall," and "Fools Gold." --Jeff Bateman

Almost completely perfect!.......2007-07-07

Except for the first song, and that looped song, I love every song on this album, and that never happens! As for the first song, I won't say I hate it, I just don't find it that strong. I do, however, like bits of their early sound, with its distinct bass-y sound similar to The Smiths, especially on Tell Me (are The Smiths from Manchester, too?).

My favorites are She Bangs the Drum and Fool's Gold, and What the World is Waiting For, if pressed. It's interesting how Oasis became so phenomenally popular, yet The Stone Roses, in my opinion, a superior and more intelligent band with stronger songs with better hooks was, well, just sorta phenomenally popular.

It's just such a pity they ended it so quickly. That seems to happen with really good bands. Either they dissolve from inner band friction (uh, can you say, differences in creativity?), or perhaps the lead singer overdoses. I'm glad that didn't happen, of course.

By the way, did any of them join anyone good after this? There was just so much talent!

Stone Roses - The complete stone roses.......2006-07-28

This album is a classic - world class!

"Turns into Stone" plus alternative takes .......2005-12-29

About one-half of "The Complete Stone Roses" includes all of the songs (except "Simone") comprising "Turns to Stone," with the exception that "Fools Gold" (the full version, of course, is available on the U.S. version of the debut), "One Love" and "Something Burning" are abridged to eliminate most of the instrumental part, so that all 21 songs can fit. In my review of "Turns to Stone" (which I also gave four stars) I mentioned how the early Stone Roses songs, as well as the B-sides, clearly demonstrate how they were influenced by poppy sixties bands such as Herman's Hermits and Gerry and the Pacemakers on the one hand, and psychedelic bands such as The Byrds and Jefferson Airplane on the other. But, especially with their monumental debut album, the Stone Roses would incredibly expand their sound, and influence so many British bands that followed.

My favorite songs on the album, that are not alternative takes, are "Mersey Paradise" and "Sally Cinammon," which perhaps could have fit nicely in their debut. The alternative takes are interesting from a creative point of view, but I think it's safe to say that the band chose superior versions for their remarkable first album (I don't hear any difference in this version of "Made of Stone"). "Full Fathom Five" is basically "Elephant Stone" in reverse, much the same way "Don't Stop" reverses "Waterfall" on the debut. "Something Burning" is really just a mellower version of "Fools Gold," and the closer, "One Love," flirts dangerously with self-parody.

Unless you're a diehard Stone Roses fan, who absolutely must possess their entire catalogue, I think you can just get "The Complete Stone Roses" and skip "Turns to Stone."

Godfathers of Brit-Pop coolness .......2005-08-23

Oasis, Blur, Charlatans UK, Catherine Wheel, My Bloody Valentine, Happy Mondays, etc.. If you want to know where Funky-
Cool-Brit-Pop started... here it is.

Another Silvertone money maker.......2005-04-20

Ok so that doesn't necessarily make it a bad CD but it's yet another attempt to wring some more cash out of essentially one album and a bunch of B-sides as I grew up calling them.

Most of the stuff on here is fine although you're going to have to put up with a few edited versions in order to cram all the tracks on here. Sadly, as one may expect, Fools Gold is rudely chopped down to around 4 minutes to make it fit and I'm afraid I find that a crime.

As an overview of the Stone Roses from 89-90 this isn't bad; it does have a number of tracks that you don't get on 'The Stone Roses'. One for the avid collectors, though.
