Free Music Notes for Out of Our Heads
Free Music Review: out of our heads
Hit: 3 Stars
I have purchased six of the remasters so far including Out of Heads, Beggar's Banquet, Flowers, Satanic Majesties, Ya Ya's, and Aftermath. Out of Our Heads was the fifth remaster I purchased and I was completely disappointed. I remembered very much enjoying the record as a teen. It is a bit of a hodge podge, singles pieced together to form an album. The performances are still good for the most part, there are some all time classics like Satisfaction and one or two lost classics like Spider and the Fly; a couple of tracks don't hit the mark at all. The sound on the remaster is not only not improved from the earlier it is worse. I promptly returned it for Aftermath which is a joy and an enormous sonic improvement. Out of our Heads, three stars, hasn't aged well, overrated in retropect, and a lousy remastering job. Get Beggar's Banquet. Next up NOW and Let it Bleed.Free Music Review: Gets Into Your Head

Out Of Our Heads contains the strongest original material from the band's first few albums released between 1963-1965. Of course "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" tops the list and with it's fuzz guitar riff, it is one of the most memorable songs in history. "Play With Fire" shows off a more mature edge. The covers they choose are consistently on target including the menacing "The Spider & The Fly", the powerful "That's How Strong My Love Is" and "Mercy, Mercy". Heads marks a major leap by the Jagger-Richards songwriting team and the band was really starting the gel.Free Music Review: Caveat Emptor

Free Music Review: Clearing Up The Confusion About One Of The Stones Greatest
Hit: 5 Stars
With the release of the remastered super audio CDs (SACD) of the Stones ABCKO catalog (which includes all the early Decca/London material), there is now mass confusion about the Out Of Our Heads releases. Allow me to clarify for you:There are 3 Out Of Our Heads Releases (all were released with lower case titles):
July 30, 1965 - U.S. London Records vinyl out of our heads
(the heads cover with Keith at center)
September 24, 1965 - U.K. Decca Records vinyl out of our heads
(the hallway cover with Brain at front)
December 3, 1965 - U.S. London Records vinyl december's children (and everybody's)
(the hallway cover with Brain at front)
This new remastered SACD is the July 30, 1965 - U.S. London Records vinyl out of our heads release. This version of included include the following tracks that were not to be on the U.K. release: The Last Time, I'm All Right, Satisfaction, Play With Fire, Spider And The Fly, and One More Try. The U.K. version added She Said Yeah, Talkin' Bout You, Oh Baby, Heart Of Stone, and I'm Free.
Note: ABCKO acquired the Stones' catalog when Allen Klein became their manager in the 70s. The resulting legal battles produced releases that the Stones opposed (they took out full page adds asking fans not to buy them), including the controversial Metamorphosis releases (which are now available on CD for the 1st time ever). But the sad fact is that the Stones lost control of their great early material. With these remastered SACD releases, we at last have some idea of what they really sounded like in the studio. I guess if we had these 40 years ago they would have ended up Greatest Rock And Roll Band in the Universe instead of just our tiny little World.
You must buy all 3 releases to get all the tracks, although if you bought the 2 U.S. releases + the earlier U.S. release The Rolling Stones, Now! you would get everything on this U.K. Out Of Our Heads release.

Free Music Review: Finally.......
Hit: 5 Stars
...available again after all this years. The album "Out of Our Heads" was released in 1965 and was the best album by the Stones so far. U.K. versions versus U.S. versions can sometime be confusing. This release, which I consider to be the real version of the album, was the only one available in Sweden, where I was born and where I lived in until I moved to the States in 1998. It hasn't been available on CD or vinyl (as far as I know) for a very long time. The only version availabe in the 70's or 80's was the "U.K. version" without Satisfaction and I'm Alright. Finally after 38 years I am able to hear "Out Of Our Heads" as I first heard it ...and with better sound that my recordplayer with one speaker in the plastic lid could offer. I might get my Rocks Off listening to this album again. Instant hit cover versions of songs like "Mercy, Mercy" or "That's How Strong My Love Is" mingles perfecly with Stones originals like "Satisfaction" and "Play With Fire". This album is a cornerstone in any CD collection.
