The Rolling Stones kicked into serious gear in this country in ’65 and early ’66 The explosive “Satisfaction” was released on 6.5.65, “Out of Our Heads” (album of blues covers) was released the following month, followed by “Get Off of My Cloud” on 9.25.65, and then “December’s Children” (blues covers) in December ’65.
And then came “Aftermath” on 4.15.66 — the first definitive Stones album, all original compositions, still one of their greatest.
Beneath the “Angry” video is some silent Sunset Strip footage that was shot in ’64. The Stones had been performing for two years at that point — 61 years ago.
“Hackney Diamonds” is obviously a good thing as far as it goes. Better to release an album of original material (the last all-original album, “A Bigger Bang“, came out in ’05) rather than be a greatest hits band.
