Significant longplayers from the past

15 April 2021

THE ROLLING STONES released their breakthrough LP
AFTERMATH on 15 April 1966, today 60 years ago.

The record came out just months before two other classics were
released, Bob Dylan’s Blonde on Blonde and The Beatles’ Revolver.

It was their 4th British and 6th American studio LP,
It topped the UK charts and peaked at #2 in the USA

Aftermath was The Stones first LP with only original
Jagger/Richards songs and several hits on it.

The album’s release was briefly delayed by controversy over the original packaging
idea and title – Could You Walk on the Water? – due to their label’s fear of offending Christians in the US with its allusion to Jesus walking on water.

Record Mirror Magazine wrote at the time: “Whether they realize it
or not – and I think Andrew Oldham does – the Rolling Stones have on
their hands the smash LP of the year with Aftermath.”
