The Rolling Stones - 1967 - Between The Buttons
Between the Buttons is the fifth British and seventh American studio album by The Rolling Stones. It was released on 20 January 1967 in the United Kingdom and 11 February 1967 in the United States as the follow-up to the ambitious Aftermath. Recorded in two spurts, in Los Angeles in August 1966 and London that November, Between the Buttons caught The Rolling Stones at a period where they were moving more into arty territory and away from their R&B roots. With the release of The Beatles' Revolver, Bob Dylan's Blonde on Blonde, The Mothers of Invention's Freak Out! and The Beach Boys' Pet Sounds, as well as their own Aftermath and the accompanying singles during 1966, the parameters of rock music had been expanded considerably. This is th US version of the album with different tracklist, "Let's Spend the Night Together" and "Ruby Tuesday" were slotted onto the album, with "Back Street Girl" and "Please Go Home" getting the boot (these would be included on the following US release, Flowers). With "Ruby Tuesday" reaching #1, Between the Buttons shot to #2 in the US, going gold. 01 - Let's Spend The Night Together 02 - Yesterday's Papers 03 - Ruby Tuesday 04 - Connection 05 - She Smiled Sweetly 06 - Cool Calm And Collected 07 - All Sold Out 08 - My Obsession 09 - Who's Been Sleeping Here 10 - Complicated 11 - Miss Amanda Jones 12 - Something Happened To Me Yesterday LINK
