Out of Our Heads (US version) (RSD2025)

Released exclusively for Record Store Day 2025 on 180-gram clear vinyl with a lithograph print. This reissue has been mastered directly from the original 1st-generation analogue mono album master tape by Carl Rowatti at Trutone Mastering using an all-analogue chain from a Studer A80 tape machine to a Neumann SP-77 soundboard to a Neumann VMS-70 cutting lathe.

Out of Our Heads was originally released in the US through London Records on 30 July 1965 and was the band's fourth American album.   This US version includes the iconic "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction", which would be the band's first number-one US hit as well as topping the charts in ten other countries, including the UK. Satisfaction, a Jagger-Richards composition was ranked as the second greatest song of all time by Rolling Stone. Significantly the album saw a move towards featuring more original compositions from the band. Alongside Satisfaction, tracks like The Last Time and Play With Fire, firmly lay out the blueprint for how the band's signature sound and identity was developing. As on previous albums there were also a selection of well-chosen r&b covers of artists such as Marvin Gaye, Otis Redding and Don Covay. However, as Rolling Stone Magazine writes "… for the first instance on album, the Stones were building an original songbook as hard and dark as they were."

Definitely a sign of things to come…
