Between the Buttons is the 7th USA studio album by The Rolling Stones. It was released on 11 February 1967 as the follow-up to the ambitious Aftermath. Between the Buttons is seen as the beginning of the Stone's 1st complete departure from their R&B roots & the beginning of their brief foray into psychedelia.

In 2003, the American version of the album featuring "Ruby Tuesday" & "Let's Spend the Night Together" was ranked #355 on Rolling Stone Magazine's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.

The entire album was recorded using a 4-track machine in which certain tracks were bounced down for overdubs, so much so that Mick Jagger felt the songs lost clarity. He commented during an interview, "We bounced it back to do overdubs so many times we lost the sound of it. The songs sounded so great, but later on I was really disappointed with it."



Christopher Walsh of Billboard reviewed the album in 2002 & said it "reveals a pensive & somewhat fatigued Rolling Stones" but went on to say, "it's brimming with overlooked gems, the band delivering a captivating blend of folky, Beatles-esque pop & tough bluesy rockers."
