Between The Buttons (studio album) by The Rolling Stones

(U.K version) For me the Stones are moving in a different direction here, a very 'Kinks' influence album, 1967 is a very experimental year, I preferred the first 2 albums (U.K) which define who they truly are, it's definitely worth a listen though, I have at least 5 tracks rated 70+.

The two tracks which save this album from relative oblivion are the double-sided single, and often unlisted, Let´s Spend the Night Together/Ruby Tuesday. They are among the very best tunes that the group ever composed and recorded. The rest shines with less than their usual brilliance.

Not one of their best, All Sold Out is my favourite track on the album and the only one that would even come close to making a best of album (ignoring Ruby Tuesday of course which is on the other version of this album that isn't on this site)

The Stones foray into Baroque pop. In my opinion the 5th best all around Stone's release behind the obvious choices. A step ahead after the Aftermath release. All the tracks written by Jagger/Richards with a big contribution from multi instrumentalist Brian Jones. The UK setlist without "Ruby Tuesday" and "Let's Spend the Night Together" being far superior to the American release. "Amanda Jones" demonstrates just how hard the Stones could rock and a sign of great things to come with Keith on the fuzz bass. An underrated keeper that never gets old.

Brilliant album with many interesting tracks. To any Kinks fan who's wondering how to get into Rolling Stones as smoothly as possible: this is where you start.

Favorite tracks (UK and US versions combined): Ruby Tuesday, Yesterday's Papers, Back Street Girl, Connection.

The version i have been listening is us album , which has two very good songs Let Spend The Night Together and Ruby Tuesday on it. They are best songs , the rest are a little above average. Goat Head Soup and Its Only Rock are better albums. This album would not make my top ten best Rolling Stones albums.

Experimentam mais o experimentalismo, porta de entrada para usa polêmica fase psicodélica.

Much like the Stones' previous output "Aftermath", the US version is far superior to the UK release, which isn't featured on this website. Leaving off "Let's Spend the Night Together" and "Ruby Tuesday" is a big miss. US version gets a 7/10, UK edition is more like a 6.

Best Song(s): Let's Spend the Night...; Ruby Tuesday; Yesterday's Papers.

An psych pop / bluesy pop rock mix that works more as an successor of Aftermath than as an predecessor of Their Satanic Majesties Request.

Good collection of songs but some are stale compared to the more lively tracks on the record. There isn't anything that blows me away but nothing is really overtly bad, either. It's good but kind of boring. I'm rating this based off of the American release.
