The second in the series covering all of the Rolling Stones' classic 45s in CD format, SINGLES 1965-1967 starts at the exact point where the Stones became more than just a better-than-average bunch of English boys declaring fealty to Chicago blues, "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction." Ending 11 discs (and numerous B-sides) later with the hazy "In Another Land"/"The Lantern" (the second single from the consistently underrated THEIR SATANIC MAJESTIES REQUEST), this set presents the period where the Stones truly earned their status as the World's Greatest Rock Band.
It can be argued that the Rolling Stones underwent an even greater metamorphosis than the Beatles during the same period. After all, the Stones were starting with a less-sophisticated musical palette, but still ended up with songs as varied as the tense, Indian-influenced "Paint It, Black," the delicate "Lady Jane," and the freak-out art-pop of "Have You Seen Your Mother, Baby, Standing in the Shadow?" Many fans feel that the "Jumpin' Jack Flash"-to-"Brown Sugar" run (covered by the next installment in the series) is the Rolling Stones' pinnacle, but the freewheeling experimentalism of the SINGLES 1965-1967 collection features the Stones at their most fearless.
Critic Reviews

Rolling Stone (p.192) - 4 stars out of 5 - "1965-1967 captures the Stones at a crucial point: just before they assumed their role as rock's darkest hedonists - a time when the Stones actually sounded like they were having fun."
Q (p.134) - 4 stars out of 5 - "[W]hat still amazes is how swiftly the Jagger/Richards writing axis clicked into gear..."
Uncut (p.107) - 3 stars out of 5 - "Pretty much every track is some sort of collectable nugget..."
