Big Hits (High Tide and Green Grass) is the first official compilation album by The Rolling Stones, released in late 1966 on Decca Records in the U.K. and in the U.S. on London Records, the band's American distributor at the time. The album, including most of the band's hit singles, appeared in the U.K. seven months after its American release. The two releases featured different cover art and tracklisting. The front cover for the 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.

The UK Big Hits (High Tide and Green Grass) includes tracks released after the American edition appeared. The Rolling Stones' debut 1963 single, a cover of Chuck Berry's "Come On", was included, but its more successful follow-up, "I Wanna Be Your Man" - composed by rivals (although in reality as friends) Lennon-McCartney - was left off the album.

Big Hits (High Tide and Green Grass) reached #4 in the UK charts.

The album has been out of print in the UK for years, although it was officially released on CD in Japan for a time.
