{"product_id":"the-rolling-stones-aftermath-us","title":"The Rolling Stones - Aftermath (US)","description":"\u003cp\u003eAftermath was the moment The Rolling Stones stopped borrowing and started writing, and this 1966 US edition, pressed on 180 gram vinyl, opens with one of the most famous songs they ever recorded.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt was the first Stones album made up entirely of Mick Jagger and Keith Richards originals, recorded in Hollywood with producer Andrew Loog Oldham. American listeners got their own running order, with \"Paint It, Black\" leading the charge and several tracks trimmed from the longer British version.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThat opener is still a jolt, Brian Jones's buzzing sitar and Charlie Watts's thundering drums setting a mood of pure dread. \"Under My Thumb\" rides on Jones's sly marimba, while \"Lady Jane\" puts his dulcimer front and centre in a courtly, almost Elizabethan ballad. Then there is \"Going Home,\" a loose, sprawling blues jam that stretches past eleven minutes and shows a band confident enough to let a groove run wild.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJones's restless experiments with unusual instruments give the album colours no other rock band was using at the time, and the songwriting finally matched the swagger of their live shows.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor collectors who know the UK version, this US running order is an essential counterpart, and for anyone else, it is a great place to hear the Stones come into their own.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57439071338801,"sku":"018771211914","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/2026\/7313\/files\/The_Rolling_Stones-Aftermath_US.jpg?v=1794152041","url":"https:\/\/vinyl.com\/products\/the-rolling-stones-aftermath-us","provider":"Vinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
