Description of Out of Our Heads (US):
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 (US) Reviews:
1965 Rolling Stones record on CD: REISSUED. 
2009-11-13 - This record had some quirky tracks on it, but also had their hit, I Can't Get No Satisfaction. Worth checking out.
Classic Stuff 
2009-10-25 - If you like music with a beat and soul then you will like this. Classic Stones from many moons ago. Well done sound mastering
Not a SACD 
2009-08-19 - To all buyers: This product is not a SACD, just the DSD version of a plain, regular CD. Amazon should take care of the information shown in their website!! In my case, living out of USA, it doesn't make any sense to return the CD back to the USA. An international courier will cost at least 5 times the price of the CD. Let me assume I got an spare part!!
A rock and roll classic
2008-10-04 - This work would earn a 5-star rating for just one song, one of the greatest rock and roll songs ever--"(I can't get no) satisfaction." But there is a lot more. There are solid covers of songs by artists such as Otis Redding (e.g., "Mercy, Mercy"), Sam Cooke ("Good Times"), and Marvin Gaye ("Hitch Hike"). There are also early classics by Jagger-Richards, such as "Satisfaction," ""The Last Time," and "Play with Fire." And cool little songs such as "The Spider and the Fly" and "The Under Assistant West Coast Promotion Man". And remember that any song attributed to "Nanker Phelge" (such as the aforementioned "The Under Assistant. . .") is a Jagger-Richards composition.
Some representative works (that is, songs that I want to write about). . . .
"Mercy Mercy": This opens the album/CD, an Otis Redding song. Mick Jagger gives a nice, credible blues version of this piece. There is raw and primal guitar work to back his singing.
"The Last Time": This is one of the Stones' best early songs. There is a nice guitar riff to open this work. The rhythm section (Charlie Watts and Bill Wyman) lay down a good base for this song. Some lyrics:
"I've told you once
And I've told you twice.
But you never listen to my advice."
And then, here it is--"(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction": I first heard this as an underclass student at Bradley University. Even though my preference was classical music, I understood that this was something special. The fuzz tone riff by Keith Richards at the outset suggests that this is serious business. One typical line that resonated, I'm sure, with many who listened to this:
"I can't get no satisfaction. . . .
Baby, baby maybe come back next week
Cuz' you see I'm on a losing streak."
Drums, bass, and guitars work well together. This is almost as perfect a rock and roll song as you can get.
Then, there's "Play with Fire." This is a hard-edged song, with a degree of menace to it. Starts out with some nice acoustic guitar work.
"And the chauffeur drives your car,
You let everybody know.
But don't play with me
'Cuz you're playing with fire."
A classic rock and roll song, with some very interesting lyrics that are not necessarily typical of the time.
So, is this a seamlessly crafted album? No. Is this a terrific rock and roll work? Yes!
Satisfaction
2008-09-11 - Can't get no. Just my luck, a misanthrope stuck in lala land. All the women are low-energy and high-maintenance. No no no. I need a woman who's high-energy and low-maintenance. Preferably weighing less than me. And cuter than me. Can't get no. I'm not here, this ain't me, I'm here 'cause I couldn't do any better. Can't get no. 3 bass guitars charging metatestosterone. Gothic disgruntlement. I'm on losing streak, a mean streak, yeh yeh yeh. Frustrations! Boy or girl, who cares, can't get no. No no no. Disidentification. "Any system of slavery so well designed it does not breed revolt is the real threat" ~ B.F. Skinner, Beyond Freedom and Dignity. I only get my rocks off when I'm dreaming.
