The Rolling Stones-BETWEEN THE BUTTONS-CD - 1967/2002 CD-Maximum-M3 II/043/2002 - 150 grn
UK Version.
Once known as hard-core blues/R&B traditionalists, Stones plunged deeper into the waters of original songwriting on BETWEEN THE BUTTONS, leading to a golden age of classic albums including LET IT BLEED, BEGGARS BANQUET and EXILE ON MAIN STREET. BUTTONS was also the last album produced by then-manager/svengali Andrew Loog Oldham. More importantly, obscure songs on this tight package show the Stones coming into their own as composers. Between the melodic balladry of "Back Street Girl" and Mick Jaggers Dylanesque inflections on "She Smiled Sweetly", BUTTONS found the Stones in a strata far beyond covering Chuck Berry and Buddy Holly. Although none of these developments ranks with the Beatles contemporaneous sonic experiments, Fabs bad-boy counterparts showed differing degrees of whimsy and sass, i.e. Ian Stewarts barrelhouse piano and Brian Jones kazoo playing on "Cool, Calm & Collected" or the Dixieland-flavored "Something Happened To Me Yesterday."
