It’s all good, solid, first-rate rock & roll and R&B, with a certain developing sophistication on songs like “I’m Free,” and it flows better without any AM radio-oriented, riff-driven singles like “Satisfaction,” “The Last Time,” or “Get Off of My Cloud,” or novelty numbers like “As Tears Go By” to break it up.Īlbum Review by Bruce Eder, AllMusic.
THE ROLLING STONES OUT OF OUR HEADS FULL
It was released on Jon London Records in the US and Septemon Decca Records in the UK. One of the first of the bands albums to be issued in Britain in full frequency stereo sound, Out of Our Heads became The Rolling Stones first number. The record is somewhat slapped together, but is superior to either of the American albums that it overlaps in balance. Out of Our Heads is The Rolling Stones third album to be released in the UK and fourth album to be released in the US. To add to the confusion, the Gerard Mankowitz black-and-white cover shot (depicting the band looking as threatening as it ever would in this early phase of its history) used here would turn up in America three months later, also on the December’s Children LP. In place of “Satisfaction” and “The Last Time,” listeners get “Oh Baby (We Got a Good Thing Going)” from five months earlier, “Heart of Stone” (which had already appeared in America on The Rolling Stones Now!), and “I’m Free” and “Talkin’ ‘Bout You,” which would turn up in America on December’s Children. version of Out of Our Heads actually came out later than its American counterpart by about a month and opens with the roaring, frenetic “She Said Yeah” rather than the soulful slowie “Mercy Mercy” (which follows it here). The reality, however, is that the group’s British LPs were almost as much of a hodgepodge, but just devised differently.

I’d say we have another mystery solved.The usual assumption is that the British-issued Rolling Stones albums of the mid-’60s are, like the Beatles’ British LPs of the same era, more accurate representations of the group and its work than their American equivalents the latter were tailored to the U.S. When The Rolling Stones came to Chess Studios in Chicago in the summer of 1964, they were met by a middle-aged Black man standing on a ladder. It’s still not uncommon these days to find a late 60’s British single in a garage sale with the center missing, label logo covered, or with tear marks from somebody removing the label covering…. I guess the importers covered up whatever Logo or copyright they could possibly infringe upon.Īlso since all American singles come with the large center hole, every one of these imported singles had their centers “popped-out”. As we all know, the Stones weren’t signed to Decca, they were signed to London in US. There is a Decca label in the USA, but it has no connection with the British label. It was released in 1965 through London Records in the US on 30 July 1965, and Decca Records in the UK on 24 September 1965 (in both mono catalogue number L元429 and in stereoPS429), with significant track listing differences between territories. John Villanova who lives in Yonkers, New York, USA, just outside of New York City, gave me this piece of nice information in the end of March 2009Īround 1967 a large quantity of English pressed singles and albums started making their way into the US record stores (whatever the exact reason is, to this day remains unclear, I’ve never gotten a definite answer) But this affected many labels, many Beatles records appeared but the labels were not covered (there was no Parlophone label in the US), but all the Stones records had these colored papers on them. Out of Our Heads is the Rolling Stones' third British album and their fourth in the United States.
They had all DECCA related text covered, both on the sleeve and on the LP label. Some LP’s sold in USA in the end of the 60’s were regular UK stock copies printed in England.
