Everything about Out Of Our Heads totally explained
Out of Our Heads is
The Rolling Stones' third UK album and their fourth in the US. It was released in 1965 through their original distributors (
Decca Records in the UK and
London Records in the US), but with significant differences in both territories.
Initially issued in July 1965 in
America (featuring an alternate shot from the same photo session that graced the cover of
12 X 5 and
The Rolling Stones No. 2),
Out of Our Heads was a mish-mash of studio recordings over a six month period, including hit single "
The Last Time" and worldwide smash "
(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" as well as a sampling from the UK-only live
EP got LIVE if you want it!. Riding the wave of "Satisfaction"'s success,
Out of Our Heads became The Rolling Stones' first US #1 album, eventually going platinum. In 2003, this US edition was listed as number 114 on the
List of Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.
With the benefit of new songs being recorded that September, the British
Out of Our Heads - with a different album cover - dropped the live track and recent hit singles (as singles rarely featured on albums in the UK in those times), and added exclusive songs that would surface later in 1965 in the US on
December's Children (And Everybody's), in addition to songs that hadn't been released in the UK thus far. Issued later that September,
Out of Our Heads reached #2 in the UK charts behind
The Beatles'
Help!. It would also be The Rolling Stones' last UK album to predominantly feature
R&B covers, with
Mick Jagger and
Keith Richards becoming far more prolific writers before 1965 was out.
In August 2002 both the UK and US editions of
Out of Our Heads were reissued in a new remastered
CD and
SACD digipak by
ABKCO Records.
