Aftermath  by The Rolling Stones

Aftermath was the fourth album by the Rolling Stones for Great Britain (and the sixth for America). Aftermath is one of the albums that changed the career of the Rolling Stones. It is their first album to contain exclusively their own compositions and not covers, and it is the first recorded in the U.S.A. specifically in California at a time and place where psychedelia was beginning to flourish.

The band's sound saw a significant change, although it did not completely abandon its blues roots. This was brought about by the experiments of guitarist and multi-instrumentalist Brian Jones with various musical instruments, such as the sitar, Japanese koto, and marimba, which were not at all associated with pop and rock songs. All this gave the album a different style than what the Rolling Stones' audience was accustomed to.

In the U.S.A., the album sold 1,000,000 copies, and in England 60,000. The producer of Aftermath was again Andrew Loog Oldham.
