Hit: 3 Stars

"Between The Buttons" makes for an exasperating listening experience. The Stones are obviously going through a transitional period in which they don't seem sure what their next step should be. It is the beginning of 1967 after all; their major competition, The Beatles, had released "Revolver" just a few months before and what an incredible ambitious record that was in terms of production, composition, performance, and arrangements. The Stones would like to equal it and in some ways they do succeed, but the major obstacle for them here is that they still insist on conveying adolescent misogynistic sentiments; practically the whole record is devoted to putting down or castigating a woman in one way or another. It winds up sounding so hackneyed. In fact, this would be the last album The Stones would dedicate so much effort to this kind of tripe. Songs with a more or less sexist viewpoint will still pop up now and then in the coming decades but not to the tiring extent displayed here.

Between The Buttons (UK) Poster

Once known as hard-core blues/R&B traditionalists, the 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, BEGGAR'S BANQUET and EXILE ON MAIN STREET. BUTTONS was also the last album produced by then-manager/svengali Andrew Loog Oldham. More importantly, the 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 Jagger's 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, the Fabs' bad-boy counterparts showed differing degrees of whimsy and sass, i.e. Ian Stewart's barrelhouse piano and Brian Jones' kazoo playing on "Cool, Calm & Collected" or the Dixieland-flavored "Something Happened To Me Yesterday."
