Flowers is an American compilation album by The Rolling Stones, released in 1967. The songs either appeared as singles, had been omitted from the American versions of Aftermath and Between the Buttons, were collected from studio sessions dating back to 1965, or are reissues of songs recently released on other albums. Three tracks had never been released. "My Girl", "Ride On, Baby" and "Sittin' On A Fence" are from the Aftermath sessions from December 1965. Flowers reached #3 in the US during the late summer of 1967 and went gold. This compilation was released in USA and Europe, not in the UK. The rare cover is from the Belgian release. 01 Ruby Tuesday 02 Have You Seen Your Mother, Baby, Standing In The Shadow 03 Let's Spend The Night Together 04 Lady Jane 05 Out Of Time 06 My Girl 07 Back Street Girl 08 Please Go Home 09 Mother's Little Helper 10 Take It Or Leave It 11 Ride On Baby 12 Sittin' On The Fence 13 Sad Day 14 Out Of Time 15 Have You Seen Your Mother, Baby, Standing In The Shadow 16 I Can See It 17 Something Happy, Something Blue 18 Yesterday's Papers 19 Let's Spend The Night Together 20 Ruby Tuesday 21 Complicated 22 All Sold Out LINK
Big Hits (High Tide and Green Grass) is the first official compilation album by The Rolling Stones, released on 28 March 1966, on London Records in the United States and on 4 November 1966, by Decca Records in the United Kingdom. The two releases featured different cover art and track listing. The front cover for the American release was used for the rear photo on the UK edition. Reaching #3 on the US charts, where it remained for two years, Big Hits proved to be a big smash and currently remains a popular Rolling Stones retrospective. The UK Big Hits (High Tide and Green Grass) includes tracks released after the American edition appeared. The Rolling Stones' debut 1963 single, a cover of Chuck Berry's "Come On", was included, but its more successful follow-up, "I Wanna Be Your Man" - composed by rivals (although in reality as friends) Lennon/McCartney - was left off the album. Big Hits reached #4 in the UK charts.

Aftermath, first released on 15 April 1966 by Decca Records, is the fourth British studio album by The Rolling Stones. It was released in the United States on 20 June 1966 by London Records as their sixth American album. The album proved to be a major artistic breakthrough for The Rolling Stones, being the first full-length release by the band to consist exclusively of Mick Jagger/Keith Richards compositions. Aftermath was also the first Rolling Stones album to be recorded entirely in the United States, at the legendary RCA Studios in Hollywood, California at 6363 Sunset Boulevard, and the first album the band released in stereo. The album is also notable for its musical experimentation, with Brian Jones playing a variety of instruments not usually associated with rock music—including sitar on "Paint It Black", the Appalachian dulcimer on "Lady Jane" and "I Am Waiting", the marimbas (African xylophone) on "Under My Thumb" and "Out of Time," harmonica on "High and Dry" and "Goin' Home", as well as guitar and keyboards. Much of the music was still rooted in Chicago electric blues. 01 Mother's Little Helper 02 Stupid Girl 03 Lady Jane 04 Under My Thumb 05 Doncha Bother Me 06 Goin' Home 07 Flight 505 08 High And Dry 09 Out Of Time 10 It's Not Easy 11 I Am Waiting 12 Take It Or Leave It 13 Think 14 What To Do LINK
The Rolling Stones, Now! is the third American studio album by The Rolling Stones, released in 1965 by their initial American distributor, London Records. The album contained seven tracks from their second UK album The Rolling Stones No. 2, the recent US Top 20 hit "Heart of Stone", and other songs which would appear on the UK edition of the Stones' next album Out of Our Heads later in 1965. The album contains a different, and shorter, version of "Everybody Needs Somebody to Love" than the recording on The Rolling Stones No. 2, although the latter version was accidentally used on the 1986 CD of The Rolling Stones Now. The 2002 CD includes the shorter version, as heard on the original LP. "Little Red Rooster", a recent #1 hit single in the UK, was also included as well as "Surprise, Surprise", which would not see a release in the UK until 1970. Four of the songs on The Rolling Stones, Now! were penned by the songwriting team of Mick Jagger and Keith Richards (who dropped the "s" from his surname until 1978). 01 - Everybody Needs Somebody To Love 02 - Down Home Girl 03 - You Can't Catch Me 04 - Heart Of Stone 05 - What A Shame 06 - Mona (I Need You Baby) 07 - Down The Road Apiece 08 - Off The Hook 09 - Pain In My Heart 10 - Oh Baby (We Got A Good Thing Goin') 11 - Little Red Rooster 12 - Surprise Surprise LINK
The Rolling Stones No. 2 is the second UK album by The Rolling Stones released in 1965 following the massive success of 1964's debut The Rolling Stones. Not surprisingly, The Rolling Stones No. 2 followed its predecessor's tendency to largely feature R&B covers. However, it does contain three compositions from the still-developing Mick Jagger/Keith Richards songwriting team. Using the cover shot for 12 X 5, the second US-released album in October 1964, The Rolling Stones No. 2's tracklisting would largely be emulated on the upcoming US release of The Rolling Stones, Now!. While Eric Easton was co-credited as producer alongside Andrew Loog Oldham on The Rolling Stones' debut album, Oldham takes full production duties for The Rolling Stones No, 2, which was recorded sporadically in the UK and US during 1964. A huge hit in the United Kingdom upon release, The Rolling Stones No. 2 spent 10 weeks at #1 in early 1965, becoming one of the year's biggest sellers in the United Kingdom. 01 Everybody Needs Somebody To Love 02 Down Home Girl 03 You Can't Catch Me 04 Time Is On My Side 05 What A Shame 06 Grown Up Wrong 07 Down The Road Apiece 08 Under The Boardwalk 09 I Can't Be Satisfied 10 Pain In My Heart 11 Off The Hook 12 Susie Q LINK
