This volume compiles every pre-Exile stones tune in fake-book style. But in addition to melody, lyrics and chords, the editors have also included the key figures and riffs that define each tune. In some cases (She's a Rainbow) they even deliver almost a full part-by-part score.What's immediately obvious is Jagger's way underappreciated skill in lyric-writing and Richard's incredible mastery of blues-derived forms. Guitar tabs for a number of tunes reveal Keith's open-tuning penchant as well.If I have one quibble, it is with the over-precision in melody transcription. Simple quarter and eighth notes would have sufficed. We all know the tunes!Extra credit for comb-binding. An archeological feast! Recommended.
