A commenter named Trivial Tony posted this in response to Volume 1, and I'll quote it here since it sums this up nicely: "Something we rarely talk about - the Stones were not known for their ballads but were remarkably good at them, even though they tended to be wearier than the Beatles' declarations of love." Here's another 15 examples of that. This doesn't gather up all of their ballads by any means, but hopefully it gets most or all of the best ones.
Pretty much everything here comes from the original studio albums. However, there are two tracks near the end where Mike made special mixes to make the songs more ballad-esque by toning down the drums and other rocking elements.
Note that the track numbering continues from Volume 1, at Mike's request, in case you want to put all the songs together for a longer listen.
This album is 58 minutes long.

Like Volume 1, the cover shows the Stones when they were young and the top and much more recently at the bottom. And, like the first one, I don't know the sourcing for these. The bottom picture had the colors so washed out that I effectively had to colorize it, even though it already was technically in color.
When you posted Vol. 1, someone commented that you had initially posted Vol. 2 instead and you had to correct it...today you have posted Vol. 1 instead of Vol. 2 so now you need to correct it again LOL
