My (Current) Favourite Stones CD,
By
This review is from: Out of Our Heads (US Version) (Audio CD)
I have recently begun the odyssey of discovering all the Stones studio albums in order. A monumental task. This one is my current favourite. I'm not sure I can explain why, but Out Of Our Heads (I have always loved the title) just jumped out at me, a monolithic slab of blues filtered through rock filtered back through blues again, distorted and heavy.I never need to hear "Satisfaction" again, but "Hitch Hike", "Play With Fire" and so on...I will never get tired of hearing these songs. The album is proof of the total being greater than the sum of its parts. Taken alone, the songs do not have the same impact. Taken as an album (which is the only way to listen to rock and roll!) they add up to something special. The rock was getting harder, the blues were getting dirtier, and the band had found their identity. Great album. 5 stars.

Best of the early Stones,
By
This review is from: Out of Our Heads (US Version) (Audio CD)
Though it's a formulaic package of half cover versions/half originals typical of the era, OUT OF OUR HEADS stands as the best of the early Stones albums from the 1964-5 period. The reason: the Stones start to find their voice, signalled by the legendary song, Satisfaction, which broke them in the U.S. and worldwide.Perhaps spurred by the phenomenal success of Satisfaction, the Stones sound confident on almost every track of this album starting with the cover version of Mercy Mercy. When I first heard this years ago on the old mono vinyl the Stones sounded like a punk band -- Jagger's aggressive vocals and above all the fuzz-guitars which are mixed to the forefront and leap out of the speakers. Who ever sounded like this? Though the Otis Redding and Sam Cooke originals are better, That's How Strong My Love Is and Good Times are fine covers by the Stones. Same goes for the anguished delivery of Cry To Me. Hitch Hike a decent version of the Marvin Gaye tune (the opening riff was later copped by the Velvet Underground on their first album). Jagger and Richards hit their stride with the above-mentioned Satisfaction, but also The Last Time, Play With Fire and the tongue-in-cheek Spider and The Fly. The only weaknesses are Under Assistant West Coast Promo Man, which is really a rip-off of Fanny Mae (an outtake from this album) and the disposable One More Try. Note that this remaster doesn't sound any different from the original issue of the 80s, and is light years different from the later UK issue, which featured a weaker song list. OUT OF OUR HEADS is no masterpiece, but for sheer pleasure this album won't disappoint.

Clearing Up The Confusion About One Of The Stones Greatest,
By
This review is from: Out of Our Heads (US Version) (Audio CD)
With the release of the remastered super audio CDs (SACD) of the Stones ABCKO catalog (which includes all the early Decca/London material), there is now mass confusion about the Out Of Our Heads releases. Allow me to clarify for you:There are 3 Out Of Our Heads Releases (all were released with lower case titles): This new remastered SACD is the July 30, 1965 - U.S. London Records vinyl out of our heads release. This version of included include the following tracks that were not to be on the U.K. release: The Last Time, I'm All Right, Satisfaction, Play With Fire, Spider And The Fly, and One More Try. The U.K. version added She Said Yeah, Talkin' Bout You, Oh Baby, Heart Of Stone, and I'm Free. Note: ABCKO acquired the Stones' catalog when Allen Klein became their manager in the 70s. The resulting legal battles produced releases that the Stones opposed (they took out full page adds asking fans not to buy them), including the controversial Metamorphosis releases (which are now available on CD for the 1st time ever). But the sad fact is that the Stones lost control of their great early material. With these remastered SACD releases, we at last have some idea of what they really sounded like in the studio. I guess if we had these 40 years ago they would have ended up Greatest Rock And Roll Band in the Universe instead of just our tiny little World. You must buy all 3 releases to get all the tracks, although if you bought the 2 U.S. releases + the earlier U.S. release The Rolling Stones, Now! you would get everything on this U.K. Out Of Our Heads release. Here is a listing of which tracks are on which release: The album includes the most famous of all Stones tracks (Satisfaction) as well as The Last Time (one of their most enduring compositions). The U.S. Out Of Our Heads tracks were recorded during 1964-5 as follows: 1964: Oct 27 - Nov 2 at RCA Studios in Hollywood This information comes from "It's Only Rock And Roll: The Ultimate Guide To The Rolling Stones" by Karnbach and Bernson and from my own collection.
