Review by Scott Janovitz:
In the 1960s Chris Farlowe had a string of modest hits, due primarily to the efforts and high profile of his frequent producer, Mick Jagger. Farlowe's biggest successes were songs penned by Jagger and Keith Richards, among other songwriting greats. In June of 1966 he recorded a version of it to serve as a guide for the upcoming Farlowe session. The track Jagger recorded (without the benefit of any of the other Rolling Stones) is a marvelous homage to the Wall of Sound production perfected by Phil Spector with groups like the Ronettes. The producer credited on "Out Of Time" is Andrew Loog Oldham, the Stones' manager and producer (up until around 1967). He and Jagger (with the aid of another Stones collaborator, musical director Art Greensdale) managed to turn what was essentially a demo track into something far more structurally and sonically impressive. "Out Of Time" contains all the elements used so effectively by Phil Spector and mirrored in previous Stones recordings like "We Were Falling In Love" -- including the prerequisite string section, a strong backbeat from session drummer Andy White, multiple percussion tracks, bells, and a chorus of backing singers bathed in echo. Even Greensdale's apt arrangement is seemingly inspired by the early-'60s Spector hits, starting with a string section riff that gives way to the verse but comes back later as an interlude before the song launches into its final chorus. The powerful arrangement and melody of "Out Of Time" really carry the lyric, which is directed at an unfaithful girl who wants to come back. When Jagger sings, "You're obsolete my baby, my poor unfaithful baby, you're out of time," the nasty air of superiority illustrates the difference between Jagger's style and the songs he's mimicking. This is why "Out Of Time" is such a notable moment in pop -- the majestic musical style pioneered by Spector in the early '60s is stripped of its idealistic romance and instead tied to a vitriolic narrative, indicative of the shift toward more realism in songwriting. Jagger was always the most pop-oriented of the Stones and this track is one among several -- including "We're Wastin' Time," "Blue Turns To Grey," and Spector's own "Da Doo Ron Ron" -- that he recorded in a similar style with several of the same session musicians. The Stones would later issue "Out Of Time" as a single of their own in 1975. It was covered by the Ramones (also devotees of Spector and the Ronettes), among others.
OUT OF TIME
(Jagger/Richards)
you don't know what's going on
you've been away for far too long

I said baby baby baby you're out of time

I said baby baby baby you're out of time
yes you're all left out, yes you are
I said you're lefta out of there without a doubt
'cause baby baby baby you're out of time

you can't come back and be the first in line, oh yeah
you're obsolete my baby
my poor old faded baby
I said baby baby baby you're out of time
well baby baby baby you're out of time
I said baby baby baby you're out of time
yes you're all left out, yes you are
I said you're lefta out of there without a doubt
'cause baby baby baby you're out of time

I said baby, baby, baby, you're out of time

'cause baby, baby, baby, you're out of time
