A fantastic slice of psychedelia from one of the Stones' most beautiful and under-rated albums. I love the contrast between Bill's vocals and the soaring choruses on this one. Trippy and wonderful.

I am usually not a fan of Bill's vocals, but here it adds a nice flavour to the song that would be missed if Mick had sung lead.

Nice song, pity they didn't released more song written by Bill think he might have grown more as a song writer

It's not too bad, although I think it would've been much better with Jagger on lead vocals.
I think I could say the same for pretty much every RS song though (certainly rockers like 'Happy', 'Before They Make Me Run', 'Little T&A' & 'I Wanna Hold You').

Agreed. And having Bill on lead, allows Mick to pop in on background vocals. I particularly like the bit right after the line about trumpets.
I'm also a fan of the Beatles, but I like this song far more than any of their psychedelic tracks, like Lucy in the Sky.

That repetition of the "trumpet" line is very nice but I am not sure if that is Jagger. It sounds almost like it comes from a remote take anyway, and left in there. Sounds more like Keith than Mick, if we have to pick a Stone.. It doesn't sound like Bill himself because it's too assured.

An awful song best forgotten. The Stones don't do psychedelic music well at all and Bill should never sing.

Nonsense!
They did psych better than some of the more celebrated, supposed proper psych bands. Citadel, 2000 Man, 2000 Light Years From Home, We Love You, Child of the Moon etc...
They all kick fukkin arse!
I don't know man. I just loaded this one into my Ipod and heard it a couple of times last week. I had to check to see who it was. I don't care who did it. I just don't think this song works.Quote

It's a shame he didn't write any more songs like this. He did pursue his psychedelic yearnings in his production of UK psych group The End.
Here's a single off their only album, called Shades Of Orange...

Bill's book Stone Alone (page 400) states that Nicky played piano on Between The Buttons.

timeisonourside gives Jack Nitzsche for both CCC and Something Happened...so the first undisputed one is We Love You? I thought he'd been around for a while before TSMR, but that article seemed to say otherwise.
So that tremendous angry piano intro on We Love You is Nicky, although the video appears to show Keith playing it? Interesting.

It's just a lil mis-remembering by some people involved and/or wrong assumptions by those not involved after the fact that's gotten repeated. Eg, ALO seems to think Nicky might have played on Ruby Tuesday.
Some of the info in Bill's books is just taken from the old music paper/magazine articles.
Nicky himself has said We Love You was his first stones release and articles from the time suggest much the same.

Yes they did ...but much of it is still a load of trippy b*llocks, be it from the Stones or anybody else
