Following the minor success of "Think", Andrew Loog Oldham was certain that the follow-up would be a hit, and once again recruited Jagger to offer him a song, with him suggesting "Out of Time" as a suitable song which Jagger and Richards had written with Farlowe in mind, believing that the song would fit his voice perfectly.[15][16]
Mick Jagger had written some good things for me before, such as "Think" and a couple of others. Then he rang me up and said "I've got a new song for you. Come along and have a listen." I went over to his place on Harley Street, Harley House actually, and he played me "Out of Time" on his guitar. My first thought really was "I'm not sure I like this. I'm not sure I like this stuff." but Mick said "bear with it. It'll sound great once it's all arranged and put together." So, when I turned up at the studio [a few weeks later] and saw all the cellos, the whole orchestra, I thought "Ah". Well, they started playing and as they say, it was history in the making...[17]
The session featured several session musicians, including Jimmy Page on guitar along with drummer Andy White and arranger Arthur Greenslade.[18] It appeared that the session was troublesome, as Jagger was not satisfied with Greenslade's arrangement.[18] Eventually, Jagger was satisfied with the final product, and "Out of Time" had been recorded. Farlowe's version is drastically different from the Rolling Stones Aftermath version, heavily features a string arrangement which was not utilized on the original Rolling Stones recording. In fact, the version used the same backing which Jagger previously had dubbed with his own lead vocals in a version which would be released on Metamorphosis.[6]
Immediate Records released "Out of Time" on 17 June 1966.
