Editorial Review:
This one misses a golden opportunity by not including "Get Off of My Cloud" ("Just 'cause you feel so good, d'ya have to drive me out of my head?"), but that's about the only mistake it makes. In the few months since the release of Now!, the Stones' sound had grown harder; even a ballad like O.V. Wright's "That's How Strong My Love Is" attains a rumble that'll make you think a big truck is driving by your house. When Jagger drawled, "Buzz a while," in the middle of the group's debut the year before, he probably had no idea what his boys were soon to make of that command: "The Last Time," "The Under Assistant West Coast Promotion Man," "Satisfaction." --Rickey Wright
Out of Our Heads Reviews:
Laissez Les Bon Temps Roulez 
2006-06-11 - If you listen to "Let the Good Times Roll" you'd almost believe you were listening to a Sam Cooke outtake. I loved Sam Cooke's stuff and the bad boys of Rock and Roll really do this song justice. Mick sounds just like a Nineteen Fifty's R & B singer as he croons Bert Russell's "Cry to Me" and Roosevelt Jamison's "That's How Strong My Love Is." However, even though other songs on this record would go on to become enduring Rolling Stones favorites, I have to say that "Hitch Hike" penned by the late Marvin Gaye along with William "Mickey" Stevenson, Motown's first A & R director and singer song writer Clarence Paul is my favorite song on this record. That and Mr. Cooke's song are just wonderful, so if I was you, I'd get this record and as the French say Laissez Les Bon Temps Roulez.
Satisfaction Guaranteed
2006-06-11 - "Out of Our Heads" became the Rolling Stones first number one record in the United States and it's easy to see why. "Satisfaction" is just simply one of the greatest Rock and Roll songs ever recorded. I've heard it said that back then Mick said that he didn't want to be forty and still singing that song. Well, guess what, he's over sixty and I just saw him sing it at the Super Bowl. Rolling Stone Magazine has declared this the 114th best record of all time, it's that good. If you don't own this record you should get in now, you'll love it and it comes with a warranty, Satisfaction Guaranteed.
Oh My, Have Mercy
2006-06-10 - Have mercy on me because I tell you I just can't get enough of this record. The opening song sets the mood for both the U.S. and the U.K. releases. They are different, though they share six of the same songs out of twelve so you really need both versions. I mean you can get the British stuff on other records, but I like both offerings. The little known "Cry to Me" is my favorite song on the record, but I also love the vastly underrated "Under Assistant West Coast Promotion Man." This is early Stones at their best, but then early Stones, current Stones, it makes no difference, they were great back then, they're great now.
The Stones Come into Their Own
2006-06-10 - On their earlier records Mick and Keith issued the songs they'd written under the name Nanker Phelge, that stopped with this record, four songs: "Satisfaction," "The Last Time, "The Spider and the Fly" and "One More Try" were issued under Mick and Keith's real names, but for some reason they issued two of the songs under their pseudonym, "The Under Assistant West Coast Promotion Man," three minutes and seven seconds of a song I just absolutely love and "Play with Fire." Also this record marks a turn from singing mostly cover songs to songs written by Mick and Keith. I love these early records, but I love the later stuff too. It's hard to decide with this group because when I'm listening to a song like "Good Times" I think music can't get any better than this, then I listen to "Sticky Fingers" and I know it can. What a great band the Rolling Stones are.
Out of our Heads
2005-03-09 - The Rolling Stones first #1 album in the US, probably because of the inclusion of '(I Can't get No) Satisfaction', their most recent #1 hit single. Along with 'Satisfaction', there is 'The Last Time' and 'Play With Fire', which are all included on Big Hits (High Tide and Green Grass). This album also includes the UK and US b-sides to 'Satisfaction'. In the UK, its b-side was 'The Spider and the fly' while in the US had 'The Under Assistant West Coast Promotion Man' as the b-side of 'Satisfaction'. Also on this album, there's a live song, 'I'm All Right' which hit the UK the same year on the "Got LIVE" EP. A different live version is found on the US "Got LIVE" LP. The covers included on this album are 'Mercy, Mercy', followed by 'Hitch-Hike'. Then comes 'That's How Strong My Love Is' with Sam Cooke's 'Good Times' after (coincidently, Sam Cooke and the Rolling Stones appear on ABKCO records). The last cover here is 'Cry To Me'. The closing song of the album is 'One More Try', a Mick Jagger/Keith Richards composition.
The original album was released in 1965 by London Records. The first CD release was released in 1986. The SACD was released in 2002. Presented here is the 1986 version with the release number 74292 (CD 429).
