Title: 1967 forgotten classic by the Stones
Review: Lots of hits on here (Ruby Tuesday, Letâs Spend the Night Together, Lady Jane, and others) also some unforgettable non-hit songs (at least for me). I was humming âTake it or Leave Itâ the other day then âBackstreet Girlâ came to mind and I thought of this album by The Rolling Stones and ordered it. If you like the early sound (this has Brian Jones playing), then this an album you should like.

Title: Killer Singles and Luscious Leftovers
Review: A huge and rare thank you to Rolling Stones manager Allen Klein for having producer Andrew Loog Oldham unleash this record for the American fanbase. He offers a very strong album of killer singles (a few on prior U.S. albums) and luscious leftover tracks from the UK versions of "Aftermath" and "Between the Buttons". "Mother's Little Helper"/"Lady Jane" and "Ruby Tuesday"/"Let's Spend the Night Together" are all known and wonderful A/B 45 sides and worth acquiring again in this context."Flowers" reflects the Rolling Stones spinning around in their own world, chasing glamor and other indulgences. The undisciplined intensity of the other single here, "Have You Seen Your Mother Baby, Standing in the Shadow" is the wildest single of their career. With its zany title, Keith Richards' raw guitar, pounding piano and blaring horns, the Stones have never sounded more progressive and apocalyptic. That could be why the song barely scraped the Top Ten.The one misstep is the inclusion of their Temptations cover of "My Girl". I don't regard it as lousy but vaguely directionless. I would have subbed it with that great obscurity - the Spectorized hard-blues of "Who's Driving Your Plane?". Its psychoanalysis would have undergirded "Flowers" concept perfectly. Plus, Ian Stewart plays piano at his bluesy best.It's okay though, because there are titanically impressive rarities which make "Flowers" a must for scoping out. The musically lovely "Backstreet Girl", with its accordion accompaniment", is a Parisian musette set in juxtaposition to Mick Jagger's sardonic words. "Please Go Home" is another put-down song. I love how the use of reverb funnels Mick's frustrations. This cut is heavy on the Bo Diddley sound with Brian Jones weirding it up way more (as only he can) with his theremin.Bill Wyman and Charlie Watts are the model rhythm section for not overplaying, but serving the song in the most exciting way. Bill's thunderbolt bass and Charlie laying down his trademark groove on "Ride On Baby" own this song. As on that hidden gem on "Between the Buttons", "All Sold Out", this is early evidence to me that Charlie is rock's number one drummer.My assumption is that Andrew subconsciously chose the running order of "Flowers". Yet the best was saved for the end. "Sittin' On a Fence" is in my personal top ten of greatest Stones tracks. With Mick haggling over lifelong commitment, he presents himself at his peak of unwilled vulnerability and Keith's and Brian's get-up-and-go acoustic guitars hold the music up to stunning effect.There can be a reasonable argument as to if "Flowers" works as a legitimate Rolling Stones album. But I believe it does because the three songs that make their second appearance on a Stones record are bagged so naturally with the rest of the music. A point of interest: the album's artwork is the most telling in the Rolling Stones catalogue.

Title: Flower Power
Review: Flowers is definitely 5 stars with 33 & 1/3% more value. This is the last product from The Rolling Stones: a Brian Jones Creation. What this U.S.of A. product documents is the last gasp of the Original Rolling Stone's sustained contributions to what was fast becoming The Stones: a Glimmer Twins Presentation. Yes, it is a blatant attempt by the American arm of the recording company to create one more payday. Just so no one misunderstands, I want to take this opportunity to thank the greedy s.o.b.s for giving us a near perfect Rolling Stones record.This LP is an artificial gathering of singles, bits, and pieces of the Rolling Stones left-overs and left-offs. Amazingly, it documents the London Bad Boys as they shucked off the Chuck Berry/blues masters covers for swirls of home-grown psychedelia/flower power. Taken as individual songs and as a cohesive statement the album works on both levels. In this instance, Commerce really did produce Art.This artifact gets an extra 33 & 1/3% because Brian Jones is all over the place. Not as a songwriter or stunning singer/instrumentalist, but as a master musician. He takes the pretty and makes it gorgeous. He takes the interesting and makes it arresting. His contributions are not the meat, nor the potatoes, but they are the salt and occasionally the pepper that makes it all more than palatable. Brian makes many of these songs memorable gems. I would estimate that without Brian Jones' contributions this set of recordings would rate 4 stars, at best.As far as quality of the media itself goes, this item is a bargain. It sounds great. Many of the songs are some of their best and most famous. The rest are very interesting. The total package is reasonably priced, and you can get an AutoRip copy too. If you do not already have Flowers in your collection, do yourself a favor and put a few more shekels in the corporate coffers. It may encourage them to do the right thing again sometime in the future.

Review: I had this record when it came out. I had to replace it with a cd over the years. Brian Jones was a talented musician for a short time only with the Rolling Stones. He passed away early in life and what a loss to the music.

Review: Some of the Stones' early hits brought together, some on other albums I already had, some I didn't have anywhere else in the collection.A few good, fast numbers like 'Have you seen your mother baby...' and 'Mother's Little Helper' (Aftermath), and strident like 'Take it or leave it' or 'Please go home' and wistful, like 'Sittin' on a fence'. The album takes you through the gamut of emotions, up and down like a big dipper (rollercoaster) at the fair
