The Rolling Stones / Out of Our Heads - London Records PS-429 (Stereo)(US)(1965) ...This auction is for an original early Issue Stereo Record on U.S. vinyl.

 In 1965, The Rolling Stones finally proved themselves capable of writing classic rock singles that mined their R&B/blues roots. The first enduring Jagger-Richards classics are here -- "The Last Time," "Play With Fire," and the riff-driven "Satisfaction," which made them superstars in the States and defined their sound and rebellious attitude better than any other single songs. On the rest of the album, they largely opted for mid-'60s soul covers, Marvin Gaye's "Hitch Hike," Solomon Burke's "Cry to Me," and Sam Cooke's "Good Times" being particular standouts. "I'm All Right" (based on a Bo Diddley sound) showed their 1965 sound at its rawest, and there are a couple of fun, bluesy originals in "The Spider and the Fly" and "The Under Assistant West Coast Promotion Man."

Early Stones recordings don't get much better than this. Firmly established as celebrities, the band began to use the pandemonium it inspired as an artistic source. Nowhere is the band's initial reaction to fame and music business drama more apparent than in the humorous, mocking "The Under Assistant West Coast Promotion Man," in which the Stones effectively skewer the sleazier side of the record industry. Naturally, this will always be known as the album that features the original version of "Satisfaction," which would remain the band's signature tune throughout its career, but that's really just the tip of the iceberg.
Equally effective as a Jagger-Richards distillation of rock and R&B is "The Last Time," a tune easily the equal of Bobby Womack's "It's All Over Now," which the Stones handily covered on 12 X 5. Standing out from the crowd is the harpsichord-driven, English folk-inspired "Play With Fire," a menacing minor key song full of subtly expressed psychological violence. This tune, a marked change of pace for the band, hinted at the stylistic variety they would later explore.

Editorial reviews 7 (out of 10) - ...you can trudge through the standards for only so long and, having seen the plaudits heaped on Lennon & McCartney, Jagger & Richard set out to get a piece of the songwriting action on OUT OF OUR HEADS...
