Through The Past, Darkly (Big Hits Vol. 2)
''Through the Past, Darkly (Big Hits Vol. 2)'' is the second compilation album by the English rock band the Rolling Stones, released in September 1969 by Decca Records in the UK and London Records/ABKCO Records in the US. Background According to Bruce Eder of AllMusic, the album resulted from "three coinciding events – the need to acknowledge the death of the band’s founder Brian Jones (whose epitaph graces the inside cover) in July 1969; the need to get ' Honky Tonk Women,' then a huge hit single, onto an LP; and to fill the ten-month gap since the release of '' Beggars Banquet'' and get an album with built-in appeal into stores ahead of the Stones' first American tour in three years."
