The Complete Stone Roses is a compilation of the first ten singles and selected B-sides by the English rock band the Stone Roses. It was released in 1995 without the band's input by their record company Silvertone, with whom they were embroiled in a protracted legal battle to terminate their five-year contract.
The album features a complete collection of the band's singles and B-sides before their second studio album for the label, as well as earlier releases for other labels.
Critical reception
The Media Research Information Bureau placed The Complete Stone Roses tenth on their list of "Top Ten Albums".
