Description
The Rolling Stones / Between The Buttons - London Records LL-3499 (Mono)(US)(1967) ...This auction is for an original Issue Mono Record on U.S. vinyl.
One of the Rolling Stones' strongest, most eclectic albums, with many fine songs that remain unknown to all but true Stones devotees. The lyrics are better, and the arrangements more creative, on classics like "All Sold Out," "My Obsession," and "Yesterday's Papers." "She Smiled Sweetly" shows their hidden romantic side at its best, while "Connection" is one of the record's few slabs of conventionally driving rock. But the best tracks are the two songs that gave the group a double-sided number one in early 1967: "Let's Spend the Night Together" and "Ruby Tuesday," which is as melodic as anything Mick Jagger and Keith Richards would ever write.

Recorded in 1966.
Once known as hard-core blues/R&B traditionalists, the Stones plunged deeper into the waters of original songwriting on BETWEEN THE BUTTONS, leading to a golden age of classic albums including LET IT BLEED, BEGGAR'S BANQUET, and EXILE ON MAIN STREET. In addition to scoring a double-sided smash-hit single in "Let's Spend The Night Together" backed with the baroque-pop "Ruby Tuesday," BUTTONS was also the last album produced by then-manager/svengali Andrew Loog Oldham. More importantly, the obscure songs on this tight package show the Stones coming into their own as composers.
Between the ornate orchestrations of the aforementioned "Ruby Tuesday" and Mick Jagger's Dylanesque inflections on "She Smiled Sweetly," BUTTONS found the Stones in a strata far beyond covering Chuck Berry and Buddy Holly. Although none of these developments ranks with the Beatles' contemporaneous sonic experiments, the fabs' bad-boy counterparts showed differing degrees of whimsy and sass. Examples are Ian Stewart's barrelhouse piano and Brian Jones' kazoo playing on "Cool, Calm & Collected," or the Dixieland-flavored "Something Happened To Me Yesterday."
Editorial reviews 7 (out of 10) - ...boosted by the social commentary of `Yesterday's Papers' and the colossal `Something Happened To Me Yesterday'...
