Biography

The Rolling Stones were formed in London in April 1962 by Brian Jones (guitar, harmonica), Ian Stewart (piano), Mick Jagger (lead vocals, harmonica, guitar), and Keith Richards (guitar, vocals). Bassist Bill Wyman and drummer Charlie Watts completed the early line-up. R&B and blues cover songs dominated the Rolling Stones' early material, but their repertoire has always included rock ...

5.0 out of 5 stars Get me on Flight number 505 15 Aug 2011
By Dangerous Dave TOP 500 REVIEWER
Format:Audio CD
Just to clarify one thing first. Below is the order of tracks on the original UK vinyl release. It was changed for US release with four tracks being dropped and "Paint it Black" being included. When the first CD release was made in the UK, Decca chose the US track selection rather than the UK selection. However with the release of several of the albums in digipak format in the UK in 2002, "Aftermath" (thankfully and at long last) reverted to the original fourteen tracks.

What to do

Not content with releasing a totally self-penned album, whereas previously only the odd few Jagger/Richard tracks had come out (and most of these on singles), the original and now restored, release of "Aftermath" contained fourteen tracks, one in excess of eleven minutes in length and with the total album lasting for longer than 53 minutes. All of this was revolutionary for a pop industry used to getting away with albums not much longer than thirty minutes.

So what were/are these tracks like? The first thing to say is that there's no trace of the Diddley and Berry sounds the lads had grown up with. Nor is there any real evidence of the Chicago blues they loved. There is some blues but it's not so easy to trace. "High and Dry" relates more to songs like "San Francisco Bay Blues" originally from Jesse Fuller but made popular by Ramblin' Jack Elliott. Ramblin' Jack was popular with the folk cum arty crowd in London with whom both Jagger and Richard had had some relationship (and not always amicable according to Keef's book).... Read more ›

4.0 out of 5 stars THE STONES ARE COMING INTO THEIR OWN 13 Mar 2004
By Robert Weingartner
Format:Audio CD
At last, the 14 song UK version of The Rolling Stones Aftermath. This is one of my favorite Rolling Stones albums. It was a landmark album for the band as it was the first Rolling Stones album to consist of all original Jagger/Richards material. The days of doing cover versions of other artist's songs were slowing down as the band was beginning to develop their own style and sound. With original hits over the last 15 months such as "The Last Time," "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction," and "Get Off Of My Cloud," Mick Jagger and Keith Richards were developing into a very strong songwriting team. Besides Mick and Keith coming into their own as songwriters, Brian Jones was coming into his own as an instrumentalist. He played several differernt instruments on this album: Indian Sitar on "Mothers Little Helper," marimbas (African xylophone) on "Under My Thumb," "Out Of Time," and mountain dulcimer on "Lady Jane," "I Am Waiting," as well as harmonica "High And Dry," "Goin' Home," and guitar and keyboards. The album also contains the 11-minute blues jam "Goin' Home". The album was immediately praised as one of their best albums and has remained a fan favorite from the Brian Jones era. The album has some great pop tunes on it. However, the album does have some weak tracks like "Flght 505," "It's Not Easy," "Take It Or Leave It," and "What To Do." Don't just judge the Rolling Stones by their radio hits, some of their studio albums have a lot of hidden gems, and this album is one of them. The sound has been greatly improved for SACD as part of ABKCO Records "Rolling Stones Remastered Series". I highly recommend this album.

HISTORICAL REFERENCE
The album peaked at #1 in the UK. The Aftermath sessions also produced the hit singles "19th Nervous Breakdown," and "Paint It Black" in the UK.... Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 stars The First Truly Great Stones Album 1 Oct 2006
By Jervis VINE™ VOICE
Format:Audio CD
I think it's fair to say that to a point 'Aftermath' is greater than the sum of its parts.
That's not to say the songs are necessarily inferior but it's the culminative effect of the broad soundscope created primarily by Brian Jones that is perhaps its greatest strength. Brian dabbles with all types of sounds including rarely played instruments such as the dulcimer, marimbas and sitar to create arguably the most colourfully varied sound to be found within the entire Stones catalogue. Brian (and the Stones) never choose the obvious as a number of these songs could just as easily have been arranged to accommodate more traditional 'rock' arrangements. 'Lady Jane' with its dulcimer and harpsicord instrumentation could just as easily be mistaken for a 16th century Elizabethan ballad.
'Aftermath' does contain more than its fair share of great songs, however, in particular 'Mother's Little Helper', 'Lady Jane', 'Under My Thumb', 'I Am Waiting' and 'Out Of Time' - each one of them highlighting a different aspect of the range of Brian's instrumentation. It's not quite the typical Stones sound that one unacquinted with their albums would be familiar with but it's nonetheless crucial in understanding what the Stones are all about.
It's probably true to say there are a few fillers ('It's Not Easy', 'What To Do' etc.) and the eleven minute 'Going Home' doesn't seem to go anywhere but these songs fit into such a seductive whole that it hardly matters.... Read more ›
