Edit 2 for headphones, March 2021. This is the mono song from the first UK album, "The Rolling Stones".
Recorded January 3, 1964. Released in the US on the third album, "The Rolling Stones, Now!" (February 12, 1965).
A (live) stereo version is since many many years on various bootleg albums, and after many many years it was released on the deluxe version of the album "Grrr".
Guitar: Brian Jones.* Vocals & percussion: Mick Jagger. Drums & percussion: Charlie Watts. Bass: Bill Wyman. Keith Richards: busy changing his name into Richard.** Source of this edit is the song on "The Rolling Stones, Now!" (London 820 133-2).
* Keith Richards: "I've never heard anybody, before or since, get that Bo Diddley thing down. Diddley himself was astounded, saying that Brian Jones was the only cat he knew who'd worked out the secret of it."
** After The Rolling Stones signed to Decca Records in 1963 their band manager, Andrew Loog Oldham, dropped the "s" from his surname, believing "Keith Richard" in his words "looked more pop". In the early 1970s Richards re-established the "s" in his surname.
MONA (I NEED YOU BABY)
(Ellas McDaniel, stage name Bo Diddley, real name Ellas Otha Bates)(April 1957 song)
I say hey Mona, oh Mona
I say yeah, yeah yeah yes Mona, oh Mona
I tell you Mona what I wanna do
I'll build a house next door to you
then I see you sometimes?
we can blow kisses through the blinds
yeah come out come out on the front
and listen to my heart go bumpety bump
gee baby that's no lie
without your love I surely die
I say hey, hey Mona, oh, Mona
I say yeah, yeah yeah yeah Mona
oh, Mona
I say hey hey Mona, oh Mona
I say yeah, yeah yeah yeah Mona, oh Mona
I tell you Mona what I wanna do
I'm gonna build a house next door to you
then I see you sometime?
we can blow kisses through the blinds
yeah come out come out on the front
and listen to my heart go bumpety bump
gee baby that's no lie
without your love I surely die
I say hey hey Mona, oh Mona
I say yeah, yeah yeah yes Mona, oh Mona
