The Rolling Stones - We Love You (1967)

This album collects leftovers from the tail end of 1966 through the end of 1967, and continues to follow the 12 track format established by most of the other US albums. By this time, most bands were releasing the same albums on both side of the pond, and so the concept of an "American" version of an album more or less vanished, and would only really exist with rare exceptions, like Black Sabbath's debut album. The practice wasn't entirely gone, however, as seen by The Beatles' fantastic Magical Mystery Tour. The fact that "She's Doing Her Thing" was never put out as a single is fuckin' astounding. This album also has four instrumentals, which is more than most, but 1967 was a weird time for the Stones, with members goin' to prison and the like.

I don't remember where I got this album cover from. I think it's from, like, '64 or '65, but I think it's appropriately Psychedelic for this album, while still having some of the old Stones charm present on songs like "Please Go Home"
