About this album

Between the Buttons shows the Rolling Stones expanding beyond straight blues-rock into cleverer, more varied pop writing. Released in 1967, the album balances the band’s rhythm and blues roots with music-hall wit, psych-tinged colour and sharper melodic focus, reflecting their growing confidence as songwriters. Recorded during a period of rapid change for British rock, it includes highlights such as Yesterday’s Papers, Connection and Something Happened to Me Yesterday, which reveal Mick Jagger and Keith Richards stretching the group’s sound without losing its swagger. The result is one of the band’s most characterful mid-60s albums, bridging their early R&B attack and the more adventurous work that followed.

Genre: Pop & Rock
