It remains one of the Stones' less well-known records, although it contains some very strong songs. Besides the five band members – Mick Jagger, who took lead vocals on all tracks and also played the tambourine and harmonica, was joined by Keith Richards, Brian Jones, Bill Wyman and Watts – there were several guest musicians. Ian Stewart plays piano and organ, and Nicky Hopkins plays piano, as does Jack Nitzsche. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBy late 1966, recording technology was allowing for greater experimentation, and though every track on\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBetween The Buttons\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eis credited to Jagger and Richards, there are certainly very different styles of music and songwriting to be heard on the album. \"Yesterday's Papers\" has the distinction of being the first song to be written solely by Jagger and features Nitzsche on harpsichord. On \"Something Happened to Me Yesterday,\" the multi-talented Jones plays saxophone, trombone, and clarinet. Two tracks were exclusive to the UK album version. The first was the gentle waltz \"Back Street Girl,\" written by Richards and Jagger. The second UK-only song on the album was \"Please Go Home,\" which was based on a Bo Diddley-style beat.

The band went to Primrose Hill park, in north London, just after dawn, arriving in a Rolls Royce. Mankowitz said the photograph, which he made deliberately bleary by spreading Vaseline on his lens, captured \"the ethereal, druggy feel of the time,\" adding, \"There was this well-known London character called Maxie – a sort of prototype hippie – just standing on his own playing the flute. Mick walked up to him and offered him a joint and his only response was, ‘Ah, breakfast!'\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYesterday's Papers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMy Obsession\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBack Street Girl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConnection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShe Smiled Sweetly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCool, Calm \u0026amp; Collected\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll Sold Out\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlease Go Home\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWho's Been Sleeping Here?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComplicated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMiss Amanda Jones\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSomething Happened To Me Yesterday\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"Music Direct","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42410793500846,"sku":"018771212713","price":32.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0599\/6118\/0334\/products\/rsbtb_ec74708e-1e11-460c-892f-ca8540550630.jpg?v=1669230869","url":"https:\/\/morrowrecords.com\/products\/rolling-stones-between-the-buttons","provider":"Morrow Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
