Шаблон:More citations needed Шаблон:EngvarB Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Infobox album Шаблон:Italic title December's Children (And Everybody's) is the fifth American studio album by the English rock band the Rolling Stones, released in December 1965. It is primarily compiled from different released tracks from across the band's recording career up to that point, including the UK version of Out of Our Heads. Bassist Bill Wyman quotes Jagger in 1968 calling the record "[not] an album, it's just a collection of songs." Accordingly, it is only briefly detailed in Wyman's otherwise exhaustive book Rolling with the Stones. It features their then-recent transatlantic hit single "Get Off of My Cloud", as well as their own remake of Marianne Faithfull's Jagger/Richards-penned hit "As Tears Go By", which was released as the album's second single in the US.
Recording and music
It is the last of the group's early releases to feature numerous cover songs; writers Mick Jagger and Keith Richards wrote only half of the songs themselves. There had been no sessions to record the LP; many of the songs were from the UK edition of Out of Our Heads recorded in September 1965 in Los Angeles. Many of the tracks had appeared earlier in the UK versions of Rolling Stones albums or had been released on singles or EPs, but had not been heard in the American market; other tracks were unreleased tracks that had been recorded during other recording sessions.
Title and packaging
The title of the album came from the band's manager, Andrew Loog Oldham (who facetiously credits it to "Lou Folk-Rock Adler" in his liner notes on the back cover). According to Jagger, it was Oldham's idea of hip, Beat poetry.[1] The front cover photo of the band, by Gered Mankowitz, had previously been used for the UK edition of Out of Our Heads.
Release and reception
December's Children (And Everybody's) reached No.Шаблон:Space4 in the US, where it was certified gold.[2] The group's second US No.Шаблон:Space1, Get Off of My Cloud, was the highest-charting single on the album, also a major chart topper in the band's native UK and several other markets.
In August 2002, the album was reissued in a new remastered CD and SACD digipak by ABKCO Records. "Look What You've Done" remains the album's only cut issued in true stereo.
