http://www.radio4all.net/program/77238Podcast for Program: The Buttons Come Much NearerWed, 17 Sep 2014 09:19:20 +0000240http://www.radio4all.net/program/77238Peyote buttons? The sessions for Between the Buttons took place between August and December in the magic year of 1966 in Hollywood and in London. They were the last sessions with Andrew Loog Oldham as producer. The album contains the most purely British of the Stones' songs, playing out like a psychedelic English summer bristling with class conflict. It was Frank Zappa's favorite Stones album. He thought the social comment was relevant and he thought it was better than Sgt Pepper. (Brian belched in reply when Frank told him that.) It is now mostly forgotten -- Mick and Keith both claim to not care for it at all. Yet this wry oft-acoustic music (though dig the powerful guitar riff on Amanda Jones!) set off sparks for so many of us it deserves a deep listen on the Chill Room.bennettWed, 17 Sep 2014 09:19:20 +0000
