You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.201.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:54, 31 July 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''''Singles Collection: The London Years''''' is a [[compilation album]] by [[the Rolling Stones]], released in 1989. It was released as a 3-CD and a 4-LP set.<ref>((Cite web|url=https://www.discogs.com/The-Rolling-Stones-Singles-Collection-The-London-Years/release/1737340|title=The Rolling Stones – Singles Collection (The London Years) (1989, Vinyl)|access-date=19 May 2021|website=Discogs.com))</ref>

==Background==
''Singles Collection: The London Years'' was released by former manager [[Allen Klein]]'s [[ABKCO Records]] (who usurped control of the band's [[Decca Records|Decca]]/[[London Records|London]] material in 1970) after the band's departure from Decca and Klein.

The set is a [[triple album]] of every Rolling Stones single—and their B-Sides—mostly in their original mono mixes (at least as of the 2002 reissue), in both the UK and US encompassing their entire era with [[Decca Records]] in the United Kingdom and [[London Records]] in the United States—hence the album's title.

The original collection was produced by [[Andrew Loog Oldham]], and digitally compiled and prepared under his supervision by P. D. Rain and Jody Klein.

With a range from 1963 to 1971, the set begins with their very first UK single, [[Chuck Berry]]'s "[[Come On (Chuck Berry song)|Come On]]", and runs to ''[[Sticky Fingers]]''' "[[Brown Sugar (Rolling Stones song)|Brown Sugar]]" and "[[Wild Horses (The Rolling Stones song)|Wild Horses]]" (which Allen Klein shares release rights with the Rolling Stones).

The only omissions are four B-sides from 1970 and 1971. "[[Bitch (The Rolling Stones song)|Bitch]]" and "[[Let It Rock (Chuck Berry song)|Let It Rock]]" (released in the UK on the "Brown Sugar" single) and "[[Sway (The Rolling Stones song)|Sway]]" (B-side to "Wild Horses"). Allen Klein did not have release rights to this material when this compilation was released. Also not included was "Natural Magic", a [[Jack Nitzsche]] instrumental, released as the B-side to the 1970 Mick Jagger single "[[Memo from Turner]]". These are available on the box set ''[[Singles 1968–1971]]'' except "Let It Rock" which is available on the box set ''[[Singles 1971–2006]]'' and the ''[[Rarities 1971–2003]]'' album.

The release also does not include the [[Extended play|EP]]s released by the band, ''[[The Rolling Stones (EP)|The Rolling Stones]]'', ''[[Five by Five (The Rolling Stones EP)|Five by Five]]'' and ''[[Got Live If You Want It! (EP)|Got Live If You Want It!]]'', which are available on the box set ''[[Singles 1963–1965]]''.

''Singles Collection: The London Years'' was released at a timely juncture, just a couple of weeks before the Rolling Stones' comeback album ''[[Steel Wheels]]'' was due for release after a significant break, and months following their induction into the [[Rock and Roll Hall of Fame]]. Going platinum, the album reached No. 91 in the US.

In 2006, [[Steven Van Zandt]] placed ''Singles Collection: The London Years'' on top of his list of the most essential albums of all time, calling it:

((Blockquote|The greatest collection of music by the greatest rock & roll band there will ever be.<ref>((Cite web|url=https://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,1185991,00.html|title=Little Steven's Big Props Five classic albums you shouldn't fuhgeddabout|website=Ew.com|access-date=19 May 2021))</ref>))
