Between the Buttons marked a high point in the band's career - arguably the richest straight pop collection The Rolling Stones ever made.

The U.S. version includes the hits "Let's Spend the Night Together" and "Ruby Tuesday", and includes Keith's first solo vocal on "Something Happened to Me Yesterday". Brian Jones' talents as a multi-instrumentalist are showcased with accordion, electric dulcimer, kazoo, marimba, organ, piano, recorder, and theremin.
