GET OFF OF MY CLOUD
(Jagger/Richards)

I live in an apartment on the ninety-ninth floor of my block
and I'm sitting home looking out the window imagining the world has stopped
then in flies a guy who's all dressed up just like a Union Jack
and says, I've won five pounds if I have his kind of detergent pack

I said hey you get off of my cloud
hey you get off of my cloud
hey you get off of my cloud
don't hang around 'cause two's a crowd on my cloud baby

the telephone is ringing I say hi it's me Who is it there on the line
a voice says, hi hello how are you well I guess I'm doin' fine
he says it's three a.m. there's too much noise don't you people ever wanna go to bed
because you feel so good do you have to drive me out of my head

I said hey you get off of my cloud
hey you get off of my cloud
hey you get off of my cloud
don't hang around 'cause two's a crowd on my cloud, baby

I was sick and tired fed up with this and decided to take a drive downtown
it was so very quiet and peaceful there was nobody not a soul around
I laid myself out I was so tired and I started to dream
in the morning the parking tickets were just like flags that stuck on my wind screen

I said hey you get off of my cloud
hey you get off of my cloud
hey you get off of my cloud
don't hang around 'cause two's a crowd on my cloud

hey you get off of my cloud
hey you get off of my cloud
hey you get off of my cloud
don't hang around baby two's a crowd on my cloud
hey you

PART OF THE WIND
(Tim Hardin)

falling through my heart in loving you
flying wingless wondering what to do
asking a future for you

fortune falling with my heart
luck be trusted in time
trusting the breeze to be mine
hoping you'll be part of the wind

running back to you I'm waiting for the sun
waiting, hoping you're the one
I won't chase you if you run

hoping you'll be part of the wind

falling through my heart in loving you
flying wingless wondering what to do
asking a future for you

fortune falling with my heart
luck be trusted in time
trusting the breeze to be mine
hoping you'll be part of the wind

hoping you'll be part of the wind

CAROL
(Chuck Berry)

oh Carol
don't let him steal your heart away
I'm gonna learn to dance
if it takes me all night and day

climb into my machine so we can groove on out
I know some swinging little joint where we can jump and shout
it's not too far back on the highway not so long a ride
you park the car out in the open you can walk inside
a little cutie takes your hat and you can thank her ma'am
'cause every time you make the scene you find the joint is jammed

oh Carol
don't let him steal your heart away
I'm gonna learn to dance
if it takes me all night and day

how if you want to hear some music like the boys are playing
hold tight, bang your foot don't let it carry you away
don't let the heat overcome you when they play so loud
won't the music intrigue you when they get a crowd
well you can't dance I know you would you could
I got my eyes on you, baby, cause you dance so good

oh Carol
don't let him steal your heart away
I'm gonna learn to dance
if it takes me all night and day

oh Carol
don't let him steal your heart away
I've got to learn to dance
if it takes me all night and day

Edit for headphones, March 2024. Edit of a song of the 1967 album "Love In A Mist (2002 Japanese remaster uicy 3299). Warning: on this album and on the 4cd box set "The Decca Years 1965-1967" (2007 Japanese remaster uicy-90408-11) the song "Counting" is in a bad quality off-centered mono. However, it is true stereo on the "2-on-1" package "North Country Maid/Love In A Mist" (BGO Records BGOCD1227).

WITH YOU IN MIND
(Jackie De Shannon)

I'll take a walk all by myself
so I can think of nothing else
but loving you when we find time
these are the things
I'll do with you in mind

I'll pick a rose and feel the thorn
every day that you are gone
a new memory to relive I'll find
these are the things
I'll do with you in mind

there'll come a day when I can live
to go and bring you back to me
we'll dance and sing and toast someone
these are the things
I'll do with you in mind

these are the things
I'll do with you in mind

Edit 4 and 4 for headphones, March 2024. The original release of Ruby Tuesday has no intro.
Base of the edit is the non edited song on the US release of the album "Between The Buttons (2006 remastered Japanese mini-lp uicy-93023).

This is just another of my reactions to the bootleg version of "Ruby Tuesday" with its 59 seconds long intro on the bootleg album "Acid In The Grass" (song number seven) by Ghostrider, catalogued as 2015 GHR 14. (2015 GHR 14 is the catalogue number on various Ghostrider bootlegs, so you need the album title to search for it.)

Edit 2c for headphones, April 2013/March 2024. Dubbed video. Video of a different song. Otis Redding and his beautiful version of "That's how strong my love is". (Sorry for not being able to get my hands on Otis performing this song and for using a different song's video.)

"That's How Strong My Love Is" was a hit debut song by deep soul singer O.V. Wright in 1964. The single was a hit on the American R&B chart. The song was written by Wright's manager and publicist Roosevelt Jamison, who came from a gospel music background.

The song is a soulful love ballad and has been covered many times since, most notably by Otis Redding in 1965 and appears on his album The Great Otis Redding Sings Soul Ballads. Three other version of the song were recorded in 1965, one by The Rolling Stones on their album "Out Of Our Heads", a second by "The In Crowd", released as a single and a third by "The Hollies" on their album "The Hollies".

THAT'S HOW STRONG MY LOVE IS
(Roosevelt Jamison)

if I was the sun way up there
I'd go with love most everywhere
I'll be the moon when the sun goes down
just to let you know that I'm still around

that's how strong my love is, oh
that's how strong my love is
that's how strong my love is, baby, baby
that's how strong my love is

I'll be the weeping willow drowning in my tears
you can go swimming when you're here
I'll be the rainbow when the sun is gone
wrap you in my colors and keep you warm

that's how strong my love is, darling
that's how strong my love is, baby
that's how strong my love is, oooh
that's how strong my love is

I'll be the ocean so deep and wide
I'll get out the tears whenever you cry
I'll be the breeze after the storm is gone
to dry your eyes and love you warm

that's how strong my love is, baby
that's how strong my love is
that's how strong my love is, darling
that's how strong my love is

that's how strong my love is, so deep in
well, that's how strong my love is
so much love, yes so much love, oohh
yes so much love, yes so much love
anything that I can do, I'll be good for you
any kind of love you want, I'll be with you

19TH NERVOUS BREAKDOWN
(Jagger/Richards)

you're the kind of person
you meet at certain dismal dull affairs
center of a crowd, talking much too loud
running up and down the stairs
well, it seems to me that you have seen too much in too few years
and though you've tried you just can't hide
your eyes are edged with tears

you better stop
look around
here it comes, here it comes, here it comes, here it comes
here comes your nine-teenth nervous breakdown

when you were a child
you were treated kind
but you were never brought up right
you were always spoiled with a thousand toys
but still you cried all night
your mother who neglected you
owes a million dollars tax
and your father's still perfecting ways of making sealing wax

you better stop, look around
here it comes, here it comes, here it comes, here it comes
here comes your nine-teenth nervous breakdown

oh, who's to blame, that girl's just insane
well nothing I do don't seem to work
it only seems to make matters worse, oh please

you were still in school
when you had that fool
who really messed your mind
and after that you turned your back
on treating people kind
on our first trip
I tried so hard to rearrange your mind
but after while I realized you were disarranging mine

you better stop, look around
here it comes, here it comes, here it comes, here it comes
here comes your nine-teenth nervous breakdown
here comes your nine-teenth nervous breakdown
here comes your nine-teenth nervous breakdown

Edit 1b for headphones, August 2012/March 2024. Samuel "Magic Sam" Gene Maghett performing "Lookin' good". (I don't know where and when this was.) Great guitar player, he suddenly died of a heart attack in December 1969 at the age of 32. Sam was known for his distinctive tremolo-guitar playing.

Edit 3b for headphones, December 2016/March 2024. Dubbed video. Edit to give this wonderful song a deluxe feel. I made this edit also to enjoy the autoharp more. Recorded December 4, 1965. Released in the US on "Flowers", July 1967.
This is a Brian Jones song, because on this song:
Brian Jones played harpsichord;
Brian Jones played autoharp;
Brian Jones played marimba;
Brian Jones played congas;
Brian Jones played piano;
Brian Jones played electric guitars;
Brian Jones sang backing vocals.
Keith Richards: electric guitars and backing vocals.
Lead vocals: Mick Jagger.
Bass: Bill Wyman.
Drums: Charlie Watts.

Brian Jones plays the marimba like a true virtuoso.
What he does here is plain overwhelmingly beautiful, Brian really outshines on the marimba in this song.

I really love this song. It has Brian 'soaked' all over. At the right channel Brian on harpsichord as well as on his Rickenbacker guitar; on the left Brian on autoharp (though Wikipedia says koto). Also on marimbas, congas and piano. Truly an "Aftermath"-sessions song with Brian at his peak. I made this edit to make the bass and the first three of the forementioned instruments better audible. I agree, quite some bass distortion, don't blame me, it is also on the cd... Source file of the edit was on "Flowers" (Japanese mini lp remastered 2006) [uicy-93025].

RIDE ON, BABY
(Jagger/Richards)

a smile on your face
but not in your eyes
you're looking through me
you don't feel it inside

get out and ride on, baby, ride on, baby
ride on, baby, ride on, baby
I could pick your face out in an FBI file
you may look pretty but I can't say the same for your mind
ah ah ah

you walk up to me
and try to look shy
the red round your eyes
says that you ain't a child

get out and ride on, baby, ride on, baby
ride on, baby, ride on, baby

Well I've seen your face in a trashy magazine
you know where you're going
but I don't like the places you've been
ah ah ah

get out and ride on, baby, ride on, baby
ride on, baby, ride on, baby

I can pick your face out from the front or behind
you may look pretty but I can't say the same for your mind
ah ah ah

laugh it a bit
give it a try
if I'm not impressed
you can still cry

get out and ride on, baby, ride on, baby
ride on, baby, ride on, baby

by the time your thirty y'gonna look sixty-five
you won't look pretty
and your friends will have kissed you goodbye

ride on, baby
ride on, baby

Edit 1d for headphones, March 2015. A January 31, 1978 live performance in "The Old Grey Whistle Test", a British television music show on BBC2 that ran from 1971 to 1988.*
The song is shorter, a verse was left out to have the performance fit in the program.

* About the name of this show: in the musical industry many years ago a first pressing of a record was played to people they called the old greys-doormen in grey suits; the songs they could remember and whistle, having heard it just once or twice, had passed the old grey whistle test.

This backward attitude still exists widely in England: a so called British king - who in real is a descendant of the German family Sachsen-Coburg-Gotha that changed their German name to "Windsor" after World War I - is sort of idolized in that "King"dom. In real it is just a billions of British pounds consuming (= wasting) puppet show, with no meaning at all but nostalia... just a reminder of something that used to be but no longer exists... What DOES exist is rows of ambulances in front of hospitals, waiting to deliver their patients. Patients that sometimes die in the ambulance because the row is too long. True story from an ambulance chauffeur...

SULTANS OF SWING
(Mark Knopfler)

you get a shiver in the dark, it's rainin' in the park but meantime
south of the river you stop and you hold everything
a band is blowing Dixie double four time
you feel alright when you hear the music ring

and now you step inside but you don't see too many faces
comin' in out of the rain to hear the jazz go down
competition in other places, but the horns, they're blowing that sound
way on down south, way on down south in London town

you check out Guitar George he knows all the chords
but it's strictly rhythm he doesn't wanna make it cry or sing
it's an old guitar is all he can afford, when he gets up under the lights to play his thing

and Harry doesn't mind if he doesn't make the scene
he's got a daytime job, he's doin' alright
he can play the honky tonk like anything, savin' it up for Friday night
with the Sultans... with the Sultans of Swing

x this verse was omitted in this live BBC show:
x and a crowd of young boys, they're foolin' around in the corner
x drunk and dressed in their best brown baggies and their platform soles
x they don't give a damn about any trumpet playin' band, it ain't what they call rock and roll
x and the Sultans... yeah the Sultans played Creole... Creole

and then the man, he steps right up to the microphone
and says at last just as the time bell rings: "Goodnight, now it's time to go home!"
and he makes it fast with one more thing: "We are the Sultans... we are the Sultans of Swing."

This sound r

(Not an) edit 1b for headphones, September 2020/March 2024. Marianne Faithfull in 1965. (Does anyone know on what show this is?)
I found a beautiful true stereo version of this song. It is on the cd "Hard To Find Jukebox Classics 1960-64 - 30 Amazing Stereo Hits" by "Hit Parade Records" (cat.nr. 12317).
Marianne had a no.9 hit with this song in the UK, also no.9 in Ireland, no.22 in the US, no.35 in Australia.
She had one no.1 hit, another five top ten hits and ten top hundred hits in her life, well, that is more than today's talent show winners...

It was Marianne herself who said in an interview that she at first was chosen for her pretty face...
Brian Epstein asked Marianne in a Hullabalou tv show in 1965 what was the story behind her becoming a singer.
Marianne said: "I met Andrew Oldham at a party and he asked me if I'd like to make a record, cause he thought I had a face that could sell, I thought, this is fine, perhaps I have, let's sell it."

Are you also fed up too with today's screaming talent show singers?
The louder, the better, the more cheers from the audience and a standing ovation from the jury?
We don't need any town criers anymore, their days are over!
To become a beloved star doesn't take shouting.
It takes a good melody and a sweet voice, even a fragile voice is enough.
Yes, I'm totally fed up with todays talent shows.
Maybe we should call 'm adhd shows?
How about:
Britain's Got ADHD...
America's Got ADHD...

Edit 2 for headphones, October 2017. Source file of the edit is from the Japanese mini lp "Between The Buttons" (US version 2006 remaster uicy-93023). Edit to enjoy the organ & bass even more intensely. I so really dig this song. It's nearly perfect. It is fabulous. Real great organ & real great bass performance. A natural born singer, Mick Jagger.
Recorded August 3-11, 1966, released on "Between the Buttons" * in February of 1967.

Organ: Brian Jones. Bass and backing vocals: Keith Richards. Lead vocals: Mick Jagger. Piano: Jack Nitzsche. Drums: Charlie Watts. (The only Rolling Stones' song without guitar, says monsieur Big Sky.)(Merci beaucoup!)

Between the Buttons was called "among the greatest rock albums" by Robert Christgau, who later included it in his "Basic Record Library" of 1950s and 1960s recordings, published in Christgau's Record Guide: Rock Albums of the Seventies (1981). He also wrote of the album for Rolling Stone magazine's "40 Essential Albums of 1967": "[T]his underrated keeper is distinguished by complex rhymes, complex sexual stereotyping, and the non-blues, oh-so-rock-and-roll pianos of Ian Stewart, Jack Nitzsche, Nicky Hopkins, and Brian Jones." AllMusic's Richie Unterberger hailed it as one of the Rolling Stones' "strongest, most eclectic LPs". In a retrospective review for Entertainment Weekly, David Browne called the album "a cheeky set of sardonic Swinging London vaudeville rock", while Billboard magazine's Christopher Walsh wrote that "it's brimming with overlooked gems, the band delivering a captivating blend of folky, Beatles-esque pop and tough bluesy rockers." Tom Moon wrote in The Rolling Stone Album Guide (2004) that the album was "lighter and thinner" than Aftermath and, "having belatedly discovered pop melody, Jagger and Richards were suddenly overdosing on the stuff." Music scholars Philippe Margotin and Jean-Michel Guesdon observed baroque pop and music hall on the album. Jim DeRogatis included Between the Buttons in his 2003 list of the essential psychedelic rock albums.
In 2003, Between the Buttons was ranked number 357 on Rolling Stone magazine's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time list. Based on such rankings, the aggregate website Acclaimed Music lists it as the 715th most acclaimed album in history.

* "Between The Buttons", this album's name is from a dialogue. Someone in the studio - while the album sessions were still going on - asked if the album's name was known yet. It wasn't, so drummer Charlie Watts said: "It's between the buttons", which means, not yet, but soon it will be.

SHE SMILED SWEETLY
(Jagger/Richards)

why do my thoughts loom so large on me?
they seem to stay, for day after day
and won't disappear, I've tried every way

but she smiled sweetly
she smiled sweetly
she smiled sweetly
and says don't worry, oh, no no no

where does she hide it inside of her?
that keeps her peace most every day
and won't disappear, my hair's turning grey

but she smiled sweetly
she smiled sweetly
she smiled sweetly
and says don't worry

"there's nothing in why or when
there's no use trying, you're here
begging again, and ov'r again"

that's what she said so softly
I understood for once in my life
and feeling good most all of the time

'caus she smiled sweetly
she smiled sweetly
she smiled sweetly
and said don't worry, oh, no no no
oh, no no no
oh, no no no

Edit 1b for headphones, June 2021/February 2024. A live performance on the BBC television program "Monster Music Mash" in 1969.
From 7th October 1969 till 11th November 1969 a series of six programmes was hosted by Alan Price that went out on Tuesdays afternoon in the weekday children's slot. Price said of the show "I adore working with children... We want to give all the artists on the show the chance to perform two or three numbers, anything they feel like doing". (Children? What was he thinking!) Guests included Fleetwood Mac, Pentangle, Dave and Toni Arthur, The Moody Blues, Magna Carta and Slade. (Fleetwood Mac, The Moody Blues, Magna Carta, yeah, children's material? What were you thinking, Alan?)

OH WELL
(Peter Alan Green)

I can't help about the shape I'm in
I can't sing, I ain't pretty and my legs are thin
but don't ask me what I think of you
I might not give the answer that you want me to

oh well

now, when I talked to God I knew He'd understand
He said, "Stick by Me and I'll be your guiding hand"
but don't ask me what I think of you
I might not give the answer that you want Me to

RUBY TUESDAY
(Brian JOnes & The Stones)

she would never say where she came from
yesterday don't matter if it's gone
while the sun is bright
or in the darkest night
no one knows
she comes and goes

goodbye Ruby Tuesday
who could hang a name on you
when you change with every new day
still I'm gonna miss you

don't question why she needs to be so free
she'll tell you it's the only way to be
she just can't be chained
to a life where nothing's gained
and nothing's lost
at such a cost

there's no time to lose I heard her say
cash your dreams before they slip away
dying all the time
lose your dreams
and you will lose your mind
ain't life unkind?

goodbye Ruby Tuesday
who could hang a name on you
when you change with every new day
still I'm gonna miss you

I made this song sound clearer, brighter, happier and... bassier !

Edit 4a for headphones, April 2023. This is the album version, with the so called "barker intro", along with some (colorized) photos that I have never seen before.
Recorded May 18, 1967. "She's A Rainbow" was released as a single in December 1967. Charts: Holland #2 (it was in the Dutch charts for 16 weeks), Switzerland #3, Austria #8, Australia, Canada, Sweden #9, France #10, Belgium #13, Spain #19, US #25. It took fourty years before it charted #25 in Denmark. Didn't chart in what's wrong with U, K ?
The song was met with a mixed reaction when it was first released back in 1967 but, as the years have gone by, the track has quite rightly grown in appreciation. Now, the track is firmly seen as a highlight from the psychedelically twinged album "Their Satanic Majesties Request".

Mellotron (among others: the trumpet-dominated horn sound), percussion, guitar: Brian Jones. Lead vocals and percussion: Mick Jagger. Piano & harpsichord: Nicky Hopkins. Guitar: Keith Richards. Bass: Bill Wyman. Drums: Charlie Watts. Strings: arranged by John Paul Jones (who was doing session work two years before he joined Led Zeppelin). Nicky Hopkins: piano. The backing vocals were a joint effort by the entire band apart from Charlie Watts who had managed to escape his duties.

The whole recording process for the song and the album was a giant mess. Their legal ongoings at the time were causing issues after the infamous Redlands bust that saw Mick Jagger and Keith Richards spend time behind bars immediately after the time they began recording.
This meant that it took the band over eight months in total to record the album as the legal problems coupled up with their newfound adoration for psychedelic drugs created a recipe for professional disaster that somehow created incredible art.

In his 2002 book Rolling with the Stones, Bill Wyman describes the situations in the studio: "Every day at the studio it was a lottery as to who would turn up and what – if any – positive contribution they would make when they did," he said. "Keith would arrive with anywhere up to ten people, Brian with another half-a-dozen and it was the same for Mick. They were assorted girlfriends and friends. I hated it! Then again, so did producer Andrew Oldham and just gave up on it. There were times when I wish I could have done, too."

The so called "barker intro" is not on all lp's and digital releases of the album.
I got the lyrics of it from Steve Hoffman's site: forums.stevehoffman.tv/threads/shes-a-rainbow-spoken-intro.586901/
(copy ↑ and paste in your browser)

Sound engineer Glyn Johns and assistant sound engineer Eddie Kramer deserve to be mentioned here too: it must have been a real challenge for them to finally put together such a great song from the many many separate studio takes. A true great achievement! Maybe the spinning wheel in the intro more or less reflects how the choices of the takes came about... or not.

SHE'S A RAINBOW
(Jagger/Richards)

alright there, now listen very close I'll explain the game, I'll tell you how to do it, now, love, all you gotta do, love, is when the whistle blows, I want you to give it one spin, one spin only on your ball, any prize, take what you like, one winner, one prize, the pick of the stall, are you all ready? (whistle blows, wheel spins)

she comes in colors everywhere
she combs her hair, she's like a rainbow
coming colors in the air
mm, everywhere, she comes in colors

she comes in colors everywhere
she combs her hair, she's like a rainbow
coming colors in the air, oh, everywhere
she comes in colors

have you seen her dressed in blue
see the sky in front of you
and her face is like a sail
speck of white so fair and pale
have you seen a lady fairer

she comes in colors everywhere
she combs her hair, she's like a rainbow
coming colors in the air, mm everywhere
she comes in colors

have you seen her all in gold
like a queen in days of old
she shoots colors all around
like a sunset going down
have you seen a lady fairer

she comes in colors everywhere
she combs her hair, she's like a rainbow
coming colors in the air, oh everywhere
she comes in colors

she's like a rainbow
coming colors in the air
oh everywhere
she comes in colours

Edit 1a for headphones. Fleetwood Mac during a live performance, November 3, 1969 in Norway in the Oslo sports hall 'Njardhallen'. A place where sports people think they are doing the world a good service and don't realize they are just ego tripping. I have worked as a porter in a hospital and watched the crowds come in with sports injuries. They don't do this world any good, no, they cost us tons of money!
No, as far as that concerns... I don't like it this way... *

LIKE IT THIS WAY
(Daniel David Kirwan)

better love me, baby
love me all the time
better love me, baby
let me know you're mine
don't care what you say
you're gonna like it this way

give me all your love
'cause I know you need
give me all your love
'cause I know you need
a little bit of that holdin'
a little bit of that squeeze, yeah

better love me, baby
love me all the time
you better love me, baby
let me know you're mine
I don't care what you say
you're gonna like it this way

* You might think I'm overreacting: well, that's mostly because sports today is an idolatry, an idolatry that runs so deep, that for more and more people life is about sports only, it controls their thinking and acting. That is stupid, for a game is about pleasure and never should it be a way of life.

Edit 2b for headphones, December 2020/February 2024. Dubbed video.
Autoharp: Brian Jones.
Recorded May 12, 1965, released on "Got Live If You Want It", December 10, 1966.
Source file of the edit is the album "More Hot Rocks", Japanese mini lp (uicy-93033/93034).

I'VE BEEN LOVING YOU TOO LONG
(Otis Redding)

I've been loving you, too long, to stop now
you were tied, and you, want to be free
my love is growing stronger as you become a habit to me
I've been loving you, a little, too long, I can't stop now

with you my life, has been so wonderful, I can't stop now

you were tied and your love is growing cold
my love is growing stronger, as our affair, affair grows old

I've been loving you, my, my, my, my, a little too long
I don't wanna stop now, oh, oh

I've been loving you, little too long, I can't stop now
oh, oh, I can't, I can't stop now
don't make me stop me now
it's too late, it's too late, it's too late

I can't stop, I can't stop now
don't leave me, don't leave me, don't leave me now, my, my, my
I can't, I can't stop loving you now, no, no, no
my, my, my, my, my, my...

Edit 1d for headphones, November 2012/January 2024. Brian Jones performs a non-sixties solo, way ahead of his time. The video is "Top Of The Pops" on New Year's Day 1964. In this video Mick Jagger is only 20 years old. Keith Richards just turned 20 a little over one week ago. Second UK single. The first Stones single that hit the UK top 100. Recorded on October 7, 1963. Released as UK single on November 1, 1963, went to number 12 on the charts.

Released in 1972 on "Milestones", in 1975 on "Rolled Gold: The Very Best Of The Rolling Stones", in 1989 on "Singles Collection, The London Years", in 2012 on "Grrr!" and in 2016 on "Stray Cats", album 15 of the box set "The Rolling Stones In Mono". And probably on some zillion other compilation albums...

Lead slide guitar & backing vocals: Brian Jones. Lead vocals: Mick Jagger. Rhythm guitar: Keith Richards. Bass: Bill Wyman. Drums: Charlie Watts.

John Lennon & Paul McCartney wrote this for the Stones while visiting them in 1963.

An interesting comment was written on Youtube by Matt Padden:
"The possible reason for the inaudibility of Charlie Watts on this classic Stones single is the fact that their co-manager Eric Easton "produced" this session, rather than Andrew Loog Oldman, their other manager. This was the first occasion (and the last) that Easton took on these duties. There are no overdubs on this recording, it's completely live in the studio - indicating it was perhaps a slightly rushed 'balance check' that led to the drums being drowned out."
Thanks Matt.

in addition Mike Madunic wrote:
Not completely true. Easton co produced "I Wanna Be Your Man" with Brian Jones who double tracked Mick's vocals and replaced some of Keith's guitar parts with his own. (A GREAT choice btw.) Also there at the time was Tony Bramwell who worked for the Beatles and stated that Brian Jones did the majority of the production work on the song. Thank you Mike.

I WANNA BE YOUR MAN
(Lennon/McCartney)

I wanna be your lover baby
I wanna be your man

tell me that you love me baby
tell me you understand

I wanna be your man
I wanna be your man
I wanna be your man
I wanna be your man

I wanna be your man
I wanna be your man
I wanna be your man
I wanna be your man

tell me that you love me baby
tell me you understand
tell me that you love me baby
tell me you understand

I wanna be your lover baby
I wanna be your man
I wanna be your lover baby
I wanna be your man

Edit for headphones, March 2023. A song from the 1965 album "For Your Love" (reissue with 13 bonus tracks). I cut short the dull & much too long intro, so that we can enjoy the great guitar work almost instantly... sometimes I'm impatient, you know. Browsing my music files I sometimes hear songs with much too long intro's, ideal for babbling radio dj's, a pest for music lovers...

Edit 3 (version 2) for headphones, January 2024. The Rolling Stones released two versions of this song. Version 1 is the US single, recorded in London UK, and slower, with an organ intro. Version 2 was recorded November 8, 1964 in the US at "let's hear it for the" Chess studios in Chicago and released January 15, 1965 in the UK on "The Rolling Stones no. 2".
Tambourine: Brian Jones. Organ: Brian Jones. Guitars: Brian Jones & Keith Richards. Vocals: Mick Jagger. Bass: Bill Wyman. Drums: Charlie Watts. Source album of the edit is the 1966 US version of the album "Big Hits (High Tide And Green Grass)(Japanese mini lp 2006 remaster - uicy-93019).

This song was originally recorded by the jazz trombonist Kai Winding and his orchestra on the Verve Records label in October 1963. His version was mostly instrumental with just the lyric "Time is on my side" sung by the background trio of Cissy Houston, Dionne Warwick and Dee Dee Warwick.

The first fully vocal version was recorded by the New Orleans Soul singer Irma Thomas. Her version was released as the B-side of "Anyone Who Knows What Love Is (Will Understand)" in June, 1964. The Rolling Stones released their version of the song in the US on September 26, 1964, and it became their first Top 10 hit in America.

Keith Richards said of this song: "In America we were basically known for heavy, slowish kind of ballads. Time Is On My Side, Tell Me, Heart of Stone, that was what we were known for. Strangely enough that was our thing. Every single was a slow song. Who would believe it? You'd think they'd be clamoring for out-and-out rock and roll, but no, it was the soul ballads that happened for us in America."

This was one of two songs The Stones performed in 1964 on their first Ed Sullivan Show appearance. The other was "Around And Around." Sullivan was shocked by their looks and promised to never have them back. He ended up inviting them back several times. A sort of Dutch raw herring experience... with this difference: not several times but weekly...

TIME IS ON MY SIDE
Jerry Ragovoy (under the pseudonym of Norman Meade)(a member of The Coasters).

true lyrics of version two (you'll find them only here!):

time is on my side, yes it is
time is on my side, yes it is

now you always say, that you wanna be free
but you'll come running back (like I said you would baby)
you'll come running back (like I told you so many times before)
you'll come running back to me

yeah, time is on my side, yes it is
time is on my side, yes it is

searching for good times, but just wait and see
you'll come running back (I said you would darling)
you'll come running back (spend the rest of my life with you, baby)
You'll come running back, to me

go ahead baby, go ahead, go ahead and light up the town
and baby, do anything your heart desires, remember, I'll always be around
and I know, I know, like I told you so many times before
you'll gonna come back
yeah you'll gonna come back baby
knocking, yeah knocking right on my door, yeah!

time is on my side, yes it is
time is on my side, yes it is

'cause I got the real love, the kind that you need
you'll come running back (I knew you would one day)
you'll come running back (I told you before)
you'll come running back, to me

yeah time, time, time is on my side, yes it is
I said time, time, time is on my side, yes it is
I said time, time, time is on my side

Not an edit. This is a nice, though narrow, stereo version. It is on the 1986 album "The Yardbirds - The Greatest Hits 18" (Overseas Records - catalog number 30cp-114). I'm getting a bit tired of all those people who are making digitally extracted stereo (D.E.S.) songs, even when some songs are already released in stereo. With some exceptions, the majority sounds crappy, sorry.
It's why I (will) rename my « processed 'stereo' » additions in the titles into "wide mono", for I don't D.E.S. and I'm beginning to avoid what's going on there.
Moreover I just don't trust it: some guitar sounds are so specific, what D.E.S. produces must be artificial = not the real sound.

In 1964 this song charted #44 in the U.K.

"Good Morning, School Girl" is a blues standard that has been identified as an influential part of the blues canon. Chicago blues vocalist and harmonica pioneer John Lee "Sonny Boy" Williamson first recorded it in 1937. Nineteen hundred thirty-seven !
Subsequently, a variety of artists have recorded versions of the song, usually calling it "Good Morning Little Schoolgirl".

Edit 2b for headphones, March 2014, January 2024. Bad quality video, sorry. A song from the legendary album "Aftermath"... you don't own it? Wow, you are missing something ! Second edit: clearer, brighter, happier, for bigger smiles on faces... more organ & bass.
The video was made for publicity for the single "Have you seen your mother, baby, standing in the shadow?", so, the Stones all dressed up as mothers. Source cd of the edit: "Aftermath" (UK version)(Japanese mini lp remastered 2006)(uicy-93021).

Recorded March 6 - 9, 1966. Released on "Aftermath" in 1966. The album you need. Buy it.
"Stupid Girl" was the b-side to "Paint It Black" in the USA.

Acoustic & electric guitars: Brian Jones & Keith Richards. Lead vocals: Mick Jagger. Drums: Charlie Watts. Bass: Bill Wyman. Organ: Ian Stewart. Harpsichord & percussion: Jack Nitzsche. Backing vocals: Keith Richards.

STUPID GIRL
(Jagger/Richards)

I'm not talking about the kind of clothes she wears
look at that stupid girl
I'm not talking about the way she combs her hair
look at that stupid girl

the way she powders her nose
her vanity shows and it shows
she's the worst thing in this world
well, look at that stupid girl

I'm not talking about the way she digs for gold
look at that stupid girl
well, I'm talking about the way she grabs and holds
look at that stupid girl

the way she talks about someone else
that she don't even know herself
she's the sickest thing in this world
well, look at that stupid girl

well, I'm sick and tired
and I really have my doubts
I've tried and tried
but it never really works out

like a lady in waiting to a virgin queen
look at that stupid girl
she bitches 'bout things that she's never seen
look at that stupid girl

it doesn't matter if she dyes her hair
or the color of the shoes she wears
she's the worst thing in this world
well, look at that stupid girl

shut-up, shut-up, shut-up, shut-up, shut-up
shut-up, shut-up, shut-up, shut-up, shut-up
shut-up, shut-up, shut-up

like a lady in waiting to a virgin queen
look at that stupid girl
she bitches 'bout things that she's never seen
look at that stupid girl

she purrs like a pussycat
then she turns 'round and hisses back
she's the sickest thing in this world
look at that stupid girl

Edit for headphones. The source of this edit is the mono alternate take of the 2011 reissue of the november 1965 album "Do You Believe In Magic" (Legacy – 88691901362). "Younger Girl" missed the Hot 100 in the US, but it was a hit for "The Critters" in mid-1966, got to # 38 in the UK. "The Hondells" in 1966 made it up to #42 in the US Hot 100. The song is basically "Prison Wall Blues" (1930) by Cannon's Jug Stompers, with a few lyrical changes.

One of those few songs that you think "why does is stop so suddenly?"... can't it go on for just a little more? or a lot more?"

YOUNGER GIRL
(John Sebastian)

she's one of those girls who seems to come in the spring
one look in her eyes and you forget everything
you had ready to say
and I saw her today, yeah

a younger girl keeps a-rollin' 'cross my mind
no matter how much I try
I can't seem to leave her memory behind

I remember her eyes, soft dark and brown
said, she'd never been in trouble, even in town
a younger girl keeps a-rollin' 'cross my mind

no matter how much I try
I can't seem to leave her memory behind

a younger girl keeps a-rollin' 'cross my mind
and should I hang around, acting like her brother
in a few more years, they'd call us right for each other
and why, if I wait I'll just die, yeah

A younger girl keeps a-rollin' 'cross my mind
No matter how much I try
I can't seem to leave her memory behind
I remember her eyes, soft dark and brown
said, she'd never been in trouble, even in town
a younger girl keeps a-rollin' 'cross my mind

she's one of those girls who seems to come in the spring
one look in her eyes and you forget everything
you had ready to say...
