'''''Between the Buttons''''' is the fifth British and seventh American studio album by the English rock band [[the Rolling Stones]], released on 20 January 1967 in the UK and 10 February in the US. Reflecting the band's brief foray into [[psychedelia]] and [[baroque pop]] balladry during the era, the album is among their most eclectic works; multi-instrumentalist [[Brian Jones]] frequently abandoned his guitar during the sessions in favour of instruments such as [[organ (music)|organ]], [[marimba]], [[dulcimer]], [[vibraphone]], [[kazoo]], and [[theremin]]. Keyboard contributions came from two session players: former Rolling Stones member [[Ian Stewart (musician)|Ian Stewart]] (piano, organ) and frequent contributor [[Jack Nitzsche]] (piano, [[harpsichord]]). ''Between the Buttons'' would be the last album produced by [[Andrew Loog Oldham]], who had, to this point, acted as the band's manager and produced all of their albums.

As with prior albums, the American and British versions contained slightly different track listings. The American version of ''Between the Buttons'', which swaps "[[Back Street Girl]]" and "Please Go Home" for "[[Let's Spend the Night Together]]" and "[[Ruby Tuesday (song)|Ruby Tuesday]]", is on the 2003 and 2012 versions of ''[[Rolling Stone]]'' magazine's [[Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time|500 Greatest Albums of All Time]]. ''Between the Buttons'' reached number 3 on the British album charts and number 2 on the US [[Billboard Top LPs|''Billboard'' Top LPs]] chart.
