Out of Our Heads is the third studio album by the English rock band the Rolling Stones, released in two editions with different covers and track listings. In the US, London Records released it on 30 July 1965 as the band's fourth American album, while Decca Records released its UK edition on 24 September 1965 as the third British album.
Besides the key band members of singer Mick Jagger, guitarists Brian Jones and Keith Richards, bassist Bill Wyman, and drummer Charlie Watts, the album contains musical contributions from former Rolling Stones member Ian Stewart. It was produced by the group's manager Andrew Loog Oldham.
As with the previous two albums, it consists mostly of covers of American blues, soul and rhythm and blues songs, though the group wrote some of their own material for this album (4 out of the 12 tracks on the UK version, and 6 out of 12 for the US version). The American version contains "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction", which would be the band's first number-one US hit, and would go on to top the charts in 10 other countries, including the band's native UK; in 2004 it was ranked as the second greatest song of all time by Rolling Stone.
Out of Our Heads became the group's first number one on the American Billboard 200 album chart; in the UK it charted at number two.
