Out of Our Heads was originally released in the US through London Records on July 30, 1965, and was the band's fourth American album. This US version includes the iconic “(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction,” which would be the band's first #1 US hit as well as topping the charts in 10 other countries, including the UK. “Satisfaction,” a Jagger-Richards composition, was ranked as the second greatest song of all time by Rolling Stone. The album saw a significant move towards featuring more original compositions from the band. Alongside “Satisfaction,” tracks like “The Last Time” and “Play With Fire,” firmly lay out the blueprint for how the band’s signature sound and identity was developing. As on previous albums, there was also a selection of well-chosen R&B covers of artists such as Marvin Gaye, Otis Redding, and Don Covay. However, as Rolling Stone writes “…for the first instance on album, the Stones were building an original songbook as hard and dark as they were.” Definitely a sign of things to come….
