Notes

---

Artist: The Rolling Stones
Title: Flowers
Producer: Andrew Loog Oldham
Released: June 26, 1967
Label: London (PS509) USA


Here is Vol. 17 of the Russian boots. This album is a mishmash of previously recorded tracks. The songs either appeared as singles, had been omitted from the American versions of Aftermath and Between the Buttons, were collected from studio sessions dating back several years, or are simply reissues of songs recently released on other albums.

Three tracks had never been released. My Girl from the Out of Our Heads and Between the Buttons sessions, and Ride On, Baby and Sittin' On A Fence from the Aftermath sessions.

Bassist Bill Wyman claims that Mick Jagger and Keith Richards deliberately arranged the stem of Brian Jones's flower so that it had no leaves, as a prank. He later stated that "I didn't get the joke". The portraits are from the UK version of Aftermath.
