Subject: AFTER-MATH

I put a picture of the British Aftermath album at the top the message board. I actually scanned the cover of the SACD.

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 material. The days of doing cover versions of other artist’s songs were over. With original hits over the last 15 months such as “Heart Of Stone,” “The Last Time,” “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction,” and “Get Off Of My Cloud,” Mick Jagger and Keith Richards had developed into a very strong songwriting team by this time. The album was recorded entirely at RCA Studios in Hollywood, the same studio where Elvis Presley had once recorded, during two separate sessions, one in December 1965 and the other in March 1966. Besides Mick and Keith's great songwriting, Brian Jones was beginning to show his versatility as a musician as he played several instruments: Indian Sitar on "Mothers Little Helper," marimbas (African xylophone) on "Under My Thumb," "Out Of Time," and mountain dulcimer on "Lady Jane," and "I Am Waiting," as well as harmonica "High And Dry," "Goin' Home," and guitar and keyboards. The album was immediately praised as one of their best albums and has remained a fan favorite from the Brian Jones era. The album charted at #1 in the UK and #2 on the US charts. The Aftermath sessions also produced the hit singles “19th Nervous Breakdown,” and “Paint It Black.”
