Description
The Rolling Stones fourth UK studio album was originally released in 1966 and marked a milestone in the recording career of the band, as every track on the album was written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards. The tracks were recorded during two threeday marathon sessions at RCA in Hollywood in December 1965 and March 1966. Among the classic songs are Mothers Little Helper, Lady Jane, 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.
Aftermath was an immediate commercial success in both the UK and the US, topping the British albums chart for eight consecutive weeks and eventually achieving platinum certification from the Recording Industry Association of America. An inaugural release of the album era and a rival to the contemporaneous impact of the Beatles Rubber Soul 1965, it reflected the youth culture and values of 1960s Swinging London and the burgeoning counterculture while attracting thousands of new fans to the Rolling Stones. The album was also highly successful with critics, although some listeners were offended by the derisive attitudes towards female characters in certain songs. Its subversive music solidified the bands rebellious rock image while pioneering the darker psychological and social content that glam rock and British punk rock would explore in the 1970s. Aftermath has since been considered the most important of the Stones early, formative music and their first classic album, frequently ranking on professional lists of the greatest albums.
