Apologies !!! Jordy my post was dumb.Appreciate you taking the time to post.
Yes, I also was under the assumption that it is Keith on organ; and Bass.
It appears to be obvious that Tonstone missed the other one.

Uk version of Aftermath is one of their best LPs. Between the Buttons is a hidden treasure

What a dumb post . Why do you post one album against the other. Both are beautiful, in their own right . Get a life.

Itunes sucks and I can't find either of those CDs right now. The albums have their merit but I listen to Let It Bleed. Buy yourself a clue

I'm used to the US versions. I think AFTERMATH was their first great album and A gets the nod for the better of the 2.
I like BTB's punk attitude combined with the far outness and Dylanesque phrasing but it's probably their weirdest LP, unless, of course, you count TSMR.

I think you really had to be there to truly appreciate BTB, moreso than Aftermath. It was a period where everyone was beginning to turn on, to weed, to acid and just to life. It was a pop music period. For me, that record really symbolized something picture yourself in a boat on a river with plasticine porters with looking glass ties. That sort of thing. Hard to explain but it really seemed a lot better back then than it may now. The clichés weren't so cliched back then and we were so much older then, we're younger than that now.
And if that makes no sense, welcome to the circus.
More grounded, I think I loved pretty much every track on the album back when I was 16 years old. Plus it was a really good sounding original record (the UK one anyhow, I think they sent the US subsidiary 20th gen submasters because it never sounded as rich as the uk version), well dampened bass and well rounded highs.

None of those are as good as his playing on BeggarsQuote

Brian’s contributions on the English version of BTB seem minimal.And the songs he does contribute to other than Yesterday’sPapers and whose been Sleeping Here are mannered and boring..He contributes more to even Beggars Banquet.For me ,BTB is the Stones worst album of the 1960s.
Organ on She Smiled Sweetly, Banjo on Cool, Calm and Collected, recorder on All Sold Out, harmonica on Who's Been Sleeping Here, organ on Complicated, brass/mellotron on Something Happened To Me Yesterday.
Take away those contributions and you'll find it's not really "minimal" after all

That's just a matter of taste. Personally, I find the organ lovely on SSS. And the stuff on SHTMY is both hilarious and well-played.
It's a different album, with different music. Brian did a good job.

both highlight the diversity of the band and its ever changing sound and both contain filler, however i choose aftermath as i feel the strongest songs are slightly better than buttons, although i think buttons is underrated and has hidden classics, maybe next week i,ll go for a draw.

I thought Keith claimed he played organ on SSS.I also read Nietchze playedit.I just think Brian’scontributions to Beggars are better.Also underated.He May have played some guitar on Parachute Woman and SOTE.Plus guitar and mellotron harmonica on JJ Flash

I think what weakens BTB is the track Something Happened To Me...its the last track and is what sometimes leaves the impression that this LP was a laugh. Its not though. That one track is a bit lightweight, that's all. Not nearly as lame as what was to come (On With The Show, anyone?)

I know the Keith-quote, regarding She Smiled Sweetly. We had this discussion here before, though, and I got arrested big time by His Majesty on this, as he had it straight from the horse's mouth (or as close to it as possible):
«Andrew Loog Oldham told me Brian plays organ on She Smiled Sweetly».
Brian on organ on SSS

buttons was as bad as tsmr
here's one way to think about it
RUBBER SOUL - DEC 67
AFTERMATH - APR 66
aftermath was a reasonable response to rubber soul; not as good as rubber soul but pretty damn good and at least in the conversation.
REVOLVER - AUG 66
BETWEEN THE BUTTONS - JAN 67
here's where the band really begin to pale in comparison to their rivals. buttons is maybe 1/8th as important as revolver in the history of rock/pop.
SGT PEPPER - MAY 67
TSMR - DEC 67
nuff said
THE BEATLES - NOV 68
BEGGARS BANQUET - DEC 68
much more like the aftermath/rubber soul debate. the beatles is probably better, more influential, but beggars is certainly a worthy competitor.
ABBEY ROAD - SEPT 69
LET IT BLEED - DEC 69
very possibly a victory for the stones! abbey road is flawless and HUGE commercially but you can certainly make the argument that bleed is more momentous and of its time and just plain good.
all that being said, buttons is not even in the same league as aftermath, imho.
of course EVERYTHING in this post is ridiculously subjective and completely unverifiable! (except for the fact that it is mostly correct ...)

its the old beatles always better than the stones argument again.
my opinion is peppers is overrated, buttons is underrated, satanic is underrated and better than peppers, pik floyds piper at the gates of dawn has psychedelic stuff on it that blows the beatles away, and if you like your music, intense, more aggresive, soulfull and emotional then the stones is always better than beatles.
havent we all decided that stones are better than the beatles, my conclusion is the beatles could have released ba ba black sheep and it would be considered better than anyone else.
its lazy journalism and been going on for decades, the narrative is the beatles were the best band ever, the most innovative and influencial. i think they are the most overrated and have gotten away with recording some crap, love me do, yellow submarine, obla di obla da, get back are not good songs, they would be dissed if anyone else released them.
satanic majesties, between the buttons, aftermath would be considered classics if the beatles released them, the beatles were always treated differently to everyone else, so they always won the popularity conntest. cos they were the good guys and the stones were not the good guys, and were hounded for that reason. if were talking music only, stones are the best ever.

Why they released BTB and Flowers the same year is strange.Had they added Let’s Spend the Night Together ,Ruby Tuesday,Sitting on a Fence,HaveYouSeen Your Mother Baby to the UKVersion of BTB, and removed Please go aHome All sold Out and Cool Calm Collected they would have had a top 7Stone’s Album

1.UK Aftermath
2.UK Between the Buttons
3.US Aftermath
4.US Between the Buttons
This is my least favorite period of the band, when they were more poppy...but the UK versions are slightly less poppy (without things like Ruby Tuesday, etc.) so the UK versions are slightly better. Still, I generally skip from '64-'65 straight to Jumping Jack Flash.
