The Rolling Stones – Between the Buttons Album Review

Between the Buttons (1967) is a Rolling Stones studio album reviewed for its songs, production, performances, and place in their catalog.

Music and Production

British pop, music-hall touches, and baroque instrumentation broaden the band’s sound beyond its R&B foundations.

Standout Tracks

Highlights include Yesterday’s Papers, Ruby Tuesday, Connection, She Smiled Sweetly, Something Happened to Me Yesterday.

Strengths and Weaknesses

The UK and US versions differ, and some whimsical arrangements are less forceful than the band’s blues-rock material.

The Final Verdict

A fascinating, melodically adventurous album from the Stones’ experimental middle period.
