The Rolling Stones : December's Children (and Everybody's)...and More


IT IS THE EVENING 

OF THE DAY

I SIT AND WATCH 

THE CHILDREN PLAY

 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.
