One of the best songs of late 66.

One of the Stones’ better releases. It got lots of airplay on Boss Radio 93 KHJ in the spring of 1965.

I remember being at Fort Meyers beach one summ er afternoon. There was a beach bar with outside tables. They werent exactly open yet at the lunch -3pm time and they were cleaning their resturant for the evening rush and a few stragglers were walking the beach. Somebody put on the first Stones album from 1964 and it blasted on the beach. Ill never forget how that placed filled up with the most gorgeous bikini clad women out of nowhere. They then followed it with the first disc from Hot Rocks and that place was jam packed at 1 in the afternoon with people playing bikini volleyball. Saw that all happen and never dount the power of early Rolling Stones.

It was on the “B” side of “The Last Time.”

According to the Songfacts website, the harpsichord player is Jack Nitzsche, who scored with
The Lonely Surfer in 1963. The bass is played by Phil Spector, and a janitor at the studio sang backup vocals.

“Out of Our Heads reached number two in the UK charts behind the Beatles’ Help!. It was the Rolling Stones’ last UK album to rely upon rhythm and blues covers; the forthcoming Aftermath was entirely composed by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards.”
ONLY 6 OF THE 12 SONGS WERE ORIGINALS. Including Play With Fire and Satisfaction. Two major hits.

KHJ was the boss radio back then.

“The Last Time” hit hard in LA—and probably the rest of the world as well.

Yes, I was living in the UK when this came out. My parents bought it. I don’t remember ever listening to ‘The Last Time’ but remember listening to this very often. It’s still one of my favorite Stone’s songs.

I have always been intrigued by these lyrics:
Your mother she's an heiress, owns a block in Saint John's Wood
And your father'd be there with her
If he only could... Your old man took her diamonds and tiaras by the score
Now she gets her kicks in Stepney,
Not in Knightsbridge anymore
Knightsbridge is a high-rent neighborhood, while Stepney, a slum in 1965, is now a Bengali community. Why would her mother be "getting her kicks" in a place like Stepney if she owns a block in St. John's Wood, a chic business district? Someone suggested on a website that this could be a referance to a popular nightclub that moved from Knightsbridge to Stepney in the early sixties.

Back when the Stones were truly great. I wonder if the reference to St John’s Wood was a subtle slam of the Beatles. Abbey Road Studios are in St John’s Wood.

The Harrison’s owned a home in St. John’s Wood also. In London it’s just a way of saying they’re from the pricey part of town... Like ‘The Catskills’ in NYC.
