Free Music Notes for Out of Our Heads
Free Music Review: One of the best early stones albums.
Hit: 5 Stars
This was my favorite album when I was a teenager. We played it 'til there were no more grooves on the vinyl. Somewhere in the vaults, there has to be 1st generation, multi-track session tapes that could be mixed into proper stereo. The reissue of "12 X 5" has fantastic stereo mixes, so did "Now". Why not "Out of our Heads"??? This album was recorded in the US. All the major studios were using 4 track machines at this point. This great album deserves to be lovingly restored. Free Music Review: Mostly Satisfied 4.5 stars
Hit: 4 Stars
Out of Our Heads tends to focus more on R & B tunes than the bluesier numbers they'd done in the past. One reviewer calls this the best of the early releases but I personally believe Now! is a far stronger release. I gave Now! 5 stars (not one stinker!) so I can only give this one 4.5.
Jagger delivers a surprisingly strong cover of "That's How Strong My Love Is". Ok, maybe he apes Otis Redding a little too much but this vocal is very good, one of the better recordings of his career I think. There is one track on Out of Our Heads that I feel should have been replaced with something a bit better. "I'm All Right" is a live track, lots of the typical screaming girls from a Stone's performance, Jagger's voice also cracks badly at one point. It isn't an awful track but surely they had better stuff in the can. Of course, this is the release with the tune that really put the Stones on the map once and for all time "Satisfaction" and who can argue with its lasting impact?
So yeah, you want this one if you love the early Brian Jones era Rolling Stones though this is really the release where it all started to go wrong for a young Mr Jones who was losing his grip on the band's direction mostly for the worse in my opinion. Sure, there are some exceptions to that comment (most notably that quartet of releases from Beggar's Banquet through Exile on Main Street) but I really loved the early edition of this band and wish there was more of that music around.
Free Music Review: Great covers, great fresh original material....
Hit: 5 Stars
Listening to "Out of Our Heads" is almost like listening to two different LP's. The first 6 songs (Side One) are mostly covers of R&B chestnuts, with "That's How Strong My Love Is" being perhaps the most emotive. Which is saying something because the 3 tracks that precede it aren't too shabby either!! The live version of "It's All Right" is also a killer. On the next six tracks (Side Two)the boys mostly establish their own identity with their own material, including the definitive "Satisfaction." Either way, you can't lose, the pace transitions from song to song are very well handled, very nice staging!Free Music Review: One of the Stones'Best!

Hello,
Thanks for getting this album out to me ASAP. I have this on vinyl and have finally gotten around to picking up a CD. "Under Assistant West Coast Promo Man" is an all -time favorite tune of mine and I am so happy to have it on a playable format. Thanks so much....
Free Music Review: Out Of Our Heads - a new era
Hit: 4 Stars
Out Of Our Heads began a new era for the Rolling Stones. The songwriting team of Jagger/Richards kicked into gear with the classics Satisfaction, The Last Time and Play With Fire. But this album is also loaded with great material such as Mercy Mercy, That's How Strong My Love Is, Good Times, The Under Assistant West Coast Promotion Man and The Spider and the Fly. It's also got good filler tracks like Hitch Hike, Cry to Me, One More Try and the noisy live track I'm All Right. Essential album for a Rolling Stones fan.
