Big Hits (High Tide and Green Grass) is the first official compilation album by The Rolling Stones and was released in the US in 1966 on London Records, the band's American distributor at the time. Comprised of their biggest successes thus far, the album appeared seventh months ahead of its British counterpart which featured different cover art and tracklisting. The front cover for this American release was used for the rear photo on the UK edition.

Reaching #3 on the US charts, where it remained for two years, Big Hits (High Tide and Green Grass) proved to be a big smash and currently remains a popular Rolling Stones retrospective.

In August 2002 this US edition of Big Hits (High Tide and Green Grass) was reissued in a new remastered CD and SACD digipak by ABKCO Records, with the British version remaining unavailable.
