iTunes Review

Not quite all-out psychedelia, Between the Buttons was a significant step forward for the Stones. The album brought a touch of the Kinks' music-hall whimsy ("Blow!" Mick Jagger commands before a kazoo solo on "Cool, Calm and Collected") to the band's sneering critique of the British class system. At the same time, they hadn't put away the fuzz-tones, as evidenced by sharp rockers like "Miss Amanda Jones." Though it contained some of the Stones' poppiest music to date, Buttons is hardly just a lighthearted romp; the double-sided hit "Let's Spend the Night Together" and "Ruby Tuesday" is a further sign of their grown-up concerns. Compare and contrast this edition with the UK release, which drops the singles and retains several cuts that wound up on the American album Flowers.

Customer Reviews

Early Stones...this is history

Nice transitional album. Not fantastic, but good for hearing how they moved from psychedelic pop to what you find on Beggars Banquet and beyond. You'll hear Beatles pop in here and some hints of early Pink Floyd, along with a couple classic Stones tunes. Enjoy!

"Something Happened To Me Yesterday!"

.."Tell Me Now, Who's Been Sleeping Here?".."Between The Buttons" was a watershed album for the now "all-so-grown-up" Rolling Stones! Tackling some very Adult Themes; Thumbing their noses at Victorian Propriety; and Do You Remember: "Let's Spend Some Time Together?" The Band tried to remain so "Cool, Calm & Collected" during all the turbulence of 1966-67! (Again; the "American Version" of "Buttons" had the two great "Hit Singles": Ruby Tuesday & Let's Spend The Night Together; keeping the Boys a staple on "Top 40" Radio back then!) {Another LP we picked up on again in College; especially after discovering that the Drummer/Artist Charlie Watts drew the little drawings that literally were "Between The Buttons!"} "On And On She Goes; Little Miss Amanda Jones!"-Yeah!-...by Grimmbo.

Gloriously off-kilter

This record probably won't satisfy the average Stones fan, but if you're into the Velvet Underground, Syd's Pink Floyd and other purveyors of perverted pop this may be the Stones album for you. The cover captures the essence of this record. It's 4:30 in the morning, and you're still wasted on two competing chemicals: vibraphones and fuzzboxes.

By the time the Rolling Stones began calling themselves the World's Greatest Rock & Roll Band in the late '60s, they had already staked out an impressive claim on the title. As the self-consciously dangerous alternative to the bouncy Merseybeat of the Beatles in the British Invasion, the Stones had pioneered the gritty, hard-driving blues-based rock & roll that came to define hard rock. With his preening machismo and latent maliciousness, Mick Jagger became the prototypical rock frontman,...
