THE GREATEST RECORD EVER MADE: Get Off Of My Cloud

"Get Of Of My Cloud" was the first Rolling Stones song I remember hearing. Which means that distinctive drum intro by the late, great Charlie Watts was also my introduction to the sound of the Stones.

This will be the Rolling Stones chapter in my proposed book The Greatest Record Ever Made! (Volume 1). An earlier version of the chapter appeared previously as part of a different piece. It has been tweaked and expanded for its GREM! spotlight.

An infinite number of songs can each be THE greatest record ever made, as long as they take turns. Today, this is THE GREATEST RECORD EVER MADE!


THE ROLLING STONES: Get Off Of My Cloud
Written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards
Produced by Andrew Loog Oldham
Single, Decca Records [U.K.]/London Records [U.S.A.], 1965

The original post has been unpublished for bookkeeping purposes. It can be seen as a chapter in my book The Greatest Record Ever Made! (Volume 1)
