This was a great surprise. I've always thought of the Stones as a great singles band, not so for albums. The songs hold together well from start to finish. The production is tight and sounds fresh for 1965. My problem with the Stones is that they become the comedy Stones. Not so here. This is a band that in every true sense. Even Mick comes across as a superb singer, and not a cartoon character.

The Stones were a better R'n'B band than The Beatles. And this is a great set of songs, if not as inventive as Revolver. Some of the lesser-played cuts here - High & Dry and Flight 505 - are particularly fun here. And there haven't been many lyrics as acerbic as Mother's Little Helper written since, by The Stones or anyone else. A rollicking rollercoaster slice of London life in the Swinging Sixties.
