Solid Rock (Rolling Stones album)

Solid Rock is a compilation album by The Rolling Stones, released in 1980. It was released exclusively in Australia and New Zealand.

The album primarily features tracks from the band's Decca Records period, spanning from 1964 to 1971. Unlike many of their other compilation albums, "Solid Rock" focuses on harder-rocking and less-familiar tracks from that era, rather than the more commercially successful singles. This selection gives the album a distinct sound and caters to fans interested in the band's more raw and blues-influenced material.

While not considered a canonical album in their discography, "Solid Rock" provides an interesting snapshot of the Rolling Stones' early years, showcasing their heavier and more blues-driven songs. It's a worthwhile listen for those looking to delve deeper into the band's catalog beyond their biggest hits. The album's release was timed to coincide with a Rolling Stones tour in the region.
