"Made in the Shade", released in 1975, is the first official compilation album by The Rolling Stones during their Atlantic Records contract. It draws entirely from their first four albums on that label.

Release history

The Stones had two previous "official" compilation albums on Decca Records, "Big Hits (High Tide and Green Grass)" in 1966 and "Through The Past, Darkly (Big Hits Vol. 2)" in 1969. In addition, 1971's "Hot Rocks 1964-1971" and 1972's "More Hot Rocks (Big Hits & Fazed Cookies)" were released by Allen Klein's ABKCO Records without The Rolling Stones' authorization.

The material on "Made in the Shade" surveys the highlights from the band's post-Decca/London era thus far, from 1971's "Sticky Fingers" to "It's Only Rock 'n' Roll" from 1974, with no new material.

Although "Made in the Shade" bought The Rolling Stones time to deliver their next studio album (they were mid-way through recording "Black and Blue" upon this album's June 1975 release), it was also released to capitalize on the band's summer Tour of the Americas, featuring Ronnie Wood for the first time in Mick Taylor's place. Wood, fitting in so well, was asked to remain in the band on a permanent basis following the tour's conclusion.

"Made in the Shade", which had to compete with the latest cash-in ABKCO release — this time an outtakes compilation called "Metamorphosis" — reached #14 in the UK and #6 in the US, eventually going platinum. Subsequent Rolling Stones compilation albums have also anthologized tracks included on this album.

In 2005, "Made in the Shade" was remastered and reissued by Virgin Records.
