New Sound Album

comment
New Sound Album: While the blues-based sound of their earlier work hasn't disappeared entirely, this album finds the Stones incorporating elements of folk-rock, Beatlesque pop, and even some early psychedelia. Brian Jones also begins his multi-instrumental experimentation here. For instance, "Paint It Black" features him playing a sitar, a new instrument in the Stones' catalogue.

Leave the Camera Running: According to Keith Richards, only the first 2 and a half minutes of "Goin' Home" was written before the recording session. The band decided to leave the tape running as the band jammed for 9 and a half minutes.

Shout-Out
 Aftermath (Music) / int_c75df49a

Shout-Out: "Borrowed Tune" from Neil Young's Tonight's the Night (1975) uses the same melody as "Lady Jane", which is lampshaded by him in the song: "Paint It Black" has become a Standard Snippet to play in media set during The Vietnam War. The film Full Metal Jacket and the series Tour of Duty both play the song over their end credits. During the Stones' performance of "Under My Thumb" at the 1969 Altamont festival as documented in the film Gimme Shelter, a man — Meredith Hunter — was murdered on camera. It's often said that the song was "Sympathy for the Devil", but this is an Urban Legend.

Housewife: "Mother's Little Helper" was supposed to be about the hypocrisy of older people disapproving of drug abuse amongst the young while themselves popping pills. But it's also a surprisingly insightful portrait of a housewife who's driven to drug abuse by boredom.

Wanton Cruelty to the Common Comma
 Aftermath (Music) / int_f37c192
comment
Wanton Cruelty to the Common Comma: Although originally titled without a comma, the release version was styled "Paint It, Black". Keith Richards has stated that the comma was added by the record label, Decca, and that the comma stirred confusion and potential controversy with some listeners: "There were some weird letters, racial letters. 'Was there a comma in the title? Was it an order to the world?'"
