The Rolling Stones - Out of Our Heads [US] (Remastered) (CD)

All Music Guide

In 1965, the Stones finally proved themselves capable of writing classic rock singles that mined their RB/blues roots, but updated them into a more guitarbased, thoroughly contemporary context. The first enduring JaggerRichards classics are here "The Last Time," and its menacing, folky Bside "Play with Fire," and the riffdriven "Satisfaction," which made them superstars in the States and defined their sound and rebellious attitude better than any other single song. On the rest of the album, they largely opted for mid'60s soul covers, Marvin Gaye's "Hitch Hike," Otis Redding's "Cry to Me," and Sam Cooke's "Good Times" being particular standouts. "I'm All Right" (based on a Bo Diddley sound) showed their '65 sound at its rawest, and there are a couple of fun, though derivative, bluesy originals in "The Spider and the Fly" and "The Under Assistant West Coast Promotion Man." will hear the difference with SACD, even on a cheap stereo system without a highend amplifier or speakers. And you ...won't just hear the difference, you'll be an instant convert and wish, hope and pray that other artists whose catalog hasn't been reissued since the early days of CD Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, Neil Young, especially the Beatles are given the same treatment in the very near future. SACD and DSD are that good.] Richie Unterberger, All Music Guide Read more Less
