Album Notes Decca UK LP
Released: 15 April 1966
UK: No.1 (8 weeks), charted 28 weeks
A milestone in the recording career of the band, in that Mick and Keith wrote every single track on this their 4th studio album to be released in Britain. It’s arguably the first ever ‘rock’ album. The credentials? At over eleven minutes, 'Going Home' was one of the longest track ever to have appeared on any pop album, the tracks were recorded at two three day marathon sessions at RCA in Hollywood in December 1965 and March 1966, its fourteen tracks run for over 53 minutes – long by the standards of pop LPs – and most of all – it ‘sounds’ like a rock album with a cohesion not associated with most other long playing records from the era.

Among the ‘classic’ songs it includes are ‘Mother’s Little Helper’ – the a-side of the 12th US single, and its b-side ‘Lady Jane’, along with ‘Under my Thumb’ and ‘Out of Time’. Jack Nitzsche and Ian Stewart share the keyboard duties and Brian Jones plays a whole variety of instruments including an Appalachian dulcimer on ‘Lady Jane’.

“For some reason Keith and I wrote together. Maybe because we knew each other for so long and we're friends. Brian was a much better musician. But it seemed very natural and Keith and I seemed quite good at it.” - Mick
