THE TITLE


Dairy queen training center.

Andrew (Oldham) told me to do the drawings for the LP and said the titlewould be between the buttons. I thought he meant the title was BetweenThe Buttons, so it stayed.


COVER


We piled (the Stones) into Andrew (Oldham)'s Rolls and headed for PrimroseHill in North London. When we reached the top of the hill, there was thiswell-known London character called Maxie - a sort of prototype hippy -just standing on his own playing the flute. Mick walked up to hyim andoffered him a joint and his only response was Ah - breakfast!

-Gered Mankowitz, photographer


During the Between The Buttons sessions (Brian) continuouslytried to screw the pictures up: he was hiding behind his collar; he'd boughthimself a newspaper and buried himself in it; he was just not cooperating.I wouldn't say Brian was trying to ruin the session, but he was so oftenbeing difficult. The whole point of the Between The Buttons picturesis that we were consciously trying to get an image of a band that had avagueness to it, where you didn't have to be presented with everythingin detail. And I was experimenting by putting Vaseline on the lens andusing strange, distorted colors.


CREATION


[It was the] first studio session at which weconcentrated on an album as a finished product.

-Bill Wyman, 1990


Betweenthe Buttons was the first record we made when we hadn't been on theroad and weren't shit-hot from playing gigs every night. Plus, everyonewas stoned out of their brains.. Between the Buttons was the firsttime we took a breath and distanced ourselves a little from the madnessof touring and all. So in a way, to us it felt like a bit of a new beginning.But not everybody was in great shape. Brian was starting to be wonky atthe time.


These sessions were attended by a mass ofMick's, Keith's and Brian's friends and hangers-on, including Marianne,Anita, Prince Stanislaus Klossowski de Rola, Spanish Tony Sanchez (theguy who scored for Keith), photographer Michael Cooper, art-gallery ownerRobert Fraser, guitarist Jimi Hendrix and comedians Peter Cook and DudleyMoore.

-Bill Wyman, Stone Alone, 1990


The States give you a lot of energy. There's a propensity to makeyou very uptight in some cases and you start to write complaining songs,whereas like in some places in Europe I can't write complaining songs becauesit doesn't give you that effect, you know, it gives you a feeling of beinghappy and sort of in harmony. In America I rarely feel in harmony so youwrite songs that are sort of like jangling.


Andrew's influence was on the wane and thiswas his production swan song with us. He still had dreams of being an EnglishPhil Spector, if only by cranking up the reverb to 11. Production subtletywas not Andrew's bag.

-Bill Wyman, Rolling With The Stones, 2002

APPRECIATION
Rolling


Our new album is a pretty good indication of wherewe are going - if, in fact, we are going anywhere. I think it's betterthan Aftermath. We just want to go on making records that we likerather than worry about where we are going.


I don't like that (album) much.. I don'tknow, it just isn't any good. Back Street Girl is about theonly one I like.

-Mick Jagger, 1968


Between The Buttons (is my least favoriteStones album. I didn't like n)one of it. I can't even remember doing it.


(That album) I never really liked. (BackStreet Girl)'s the only decent song. The rest of it is more or lessrubbish. (Connection is also) a good one, but other than that it'sa terrible album. That's when I started getting otu of the pop thing andleaving all that behind.

-Mick Jagger, 1974


Frank Zappa used to say he really liked it. It's a good record,but it was unfortunately rather spoiled. We recorded it in London on 4-trackmachines. We bounced it back to do overdubs so many times, we lost thesound of a lot of it.. Connection is really nice.. My Obsession,that's a good one. They sounded so great, but then, later on, I was reallydisappointed with it. Isn't Ruby Tuesday on there or something?I don't think the rest of the songs are that brilliant.. I don't thinkI thought they were very good at the time, either.


REVIEW EXTRACTS


The Rolling Stones have done it again. Their latest album BetweenThe Buttons is smack in the middle of Wonderland - a kind of beat Fantasia!Andrew Oldham has produced an album richer than ever before in terms ofvariation of pace, sound and excitement - the Stones send the mind reelingand limbs wheeling.

-Keith Altman, New Musical Express, 1967


Not every group that has a hit record is worth listening to anda lot of groups that don't, are. Five years from now, what will remain?What will we still be able to listen to? I think we'll always be able tolisten to the Stones and, most especially, Between The Buttons.

The Rolling Stones have released a previously unheard collaboration with Jimmy Page, 'Scarlet'.

The long-lost gem was recorded by Sir Mick Jagger and co in October 1974 featuring the Led Zeppelin guitarist and Blind Faith's Ric Grech on bass.

'Scarlet' - which features an epic solo from guitar hero Page - follows the release of 'Criss Cross', and both tracks are taken from the upcoming multi-format reissue of the band's 1973 album 'Goats Head Soup', set for release on September 4.

Jagger said: 'I remember first jamming this with Jimmy and Keith [Richards, guitarist] in Ronnie's [Wood, bassist] basement studio. It was a great session.'

Keith added: 'My recollection is we walked in at the end of a Zeppelin session. They were just leaving, and we were booked in next and I believe that Jimmy decided to stay. We weren't actually cutting it as a track, it was basically for a demo, a demonstration, you know, just to get the feel of it, but it came out well, with a line up like that, you know, we better use it.'

The reissue is also set to feature the never-heard-before track 'All The Rage', plus many more rarities, outtakes and alternative mixes.

The legendary group have previously reissued 'Sticky Fingers', 'Exile on Main Street' and 'Some Girls'.

In April, they released their first original music since 2012, the reggae-tinged single 'Living In A Ghost Town', which they worked on last year and completed whilst in isolation amid the global health crisis.

The 'Brown Sugar' hitmakers - completed by drummer Charlie Watts - referenced the coronavirus pandemic on the line: 'Life was so beautiful, then we all got locked down.'

Jagger hoped the song - their first since the singles 'Doom and Gloom' and 'One More Shot' from their 2012 best-of compilation 'Grrr!'- would 'resonate' with everyone in these unsettling times.

The iconic band are known to be working on a new album of original tunes - their first since 2005 LP 'A Bigger Bang' - and bassist-and-guitarist Ronnie previously teased it's going to be 'very diverse'.

'Scarlet' is out now.
