      Reviewer: Marky H. "markyff" (Hanson, MA USA)
      Chronologically, this would be the third LP by the band released in their homeland as opposed to the US where the albums were usually compilations of the UK single, EP and LP releases. Case in point, the UK "Out of Our Heads" consists of a combination of tracks from the US album of the same name and "December's Children"(also has the same cover as the latter.) Confused yet? That's how it usually was when lps by British groups were put out stateside. Anyway, this album is very much a no frills (hit singles) example of young band on the cusp of superstardom and evolving their sound by still incorporating blues, soul and R&B standards along with more originals. Examples of the former include Otis Redding ("That's How Strong My Love Is"), Marvin Gaye ("Hitch Hike"), Solomon Burke ("Cry to Me"), Don Covay ("Mercy, Mercy"), Chuck Berry ("Talkin' Bout You") and Sam Cooke ("Good Times"), all credible versions of legendary artists. Originals include "I'm Free", "Under Assistant West Coast Promo Man", and "Heart of Stone" (a US single the previous year). The all-time classics singles "Satisfaction", "Last Time" and "Get Off of My Cloud" were left off the British lp, but if you are a Rolling Stones fan you already own those songs on various compilations. I think it's great that this album became available in the US on CD just for the fact it was an original recording, the songs that were meant to be on a long -player and not a record company hodge-podge. This album proved to be the last of the early era Stones lps, where covers dominated the track listings. Next up would be "Aftermath", the first great Rolling Stones album. Still "Heads" is definitely a solid purchase for the Stones enthuisiast but maybe not the casual fan.
