December's Children (And Everybody's) is the fifth studio album by the Rolling Stones to be released in the United States . It was released on December 4, 1965 on London Records .

December's Children (And Everybody's) was the second release by the Rolling Stones in the USA after 12 × 5 , for which there was no corresponding album for the British market. The compilation contains a collection of songs, recorded between August 1963 and October 1965, which had not yet been released on US albums, including the later single As Tears Go By ("I'm coming to the tears"), originally " As Time Goes By “ and renamed at the suggestion of band manager Andrew Loog Oldham , who is also mentioned as a co-author. According to his own information, he had urged the band to write a ballad with "thick walls, high windows and no sex" . The mysterious LP title also comes from Andrew Loog Oldham, it was supposed to underline the carefully cultivated evil image of the band.

Also on the album: The single Get Off of My Cloud , the eagerly awaited follow-up single to the world hit (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction , released in May 1965 . Get Off of My Cloud was another variation of the riff used in Louie Louie (AAA, DD, Em-Em-Em, DD), written by Richard Berry in 1955 . As early as 1963, the Kingsmen had a No. 2 Billboard hit with their cover version of Louie Louie . The Stones also reached the top of the singles charts on both sides of the Atlantic.

The recording for the album cover comes from the British photographer Gered Mankowitz , incidentally the same cover as the British version of the album Out of Our Heads , published in September 1965. The album was a great success in the USA and reached number 4 on the LP- Charts. Mick Jagger said in 1968, however, that the release was not an album, but "just a collection of songs" .

One day before the album was released, on the third to last day of their second North American tour in 1965 (from October 29 to December 5), Keith Richards had demonstrated his now proverbial resilience for the first time: At a concert in front of 4,000 visitors on December 3, 1965 at the Memorial Auditorium in Sacramento , California , he hit an energized microphone stand with his guitar and collapsed unconscious. After that, all the strings of his guitar had melted like safety wires. Later in the hospital, the doctors said that the thick rubber soles of his Hush Puppies shoes had probably saved his life.
