Not an edit, April 2021. Recorded 24 February 1965 in London. This is the first version, same recording as version 2, but without extra backing vocals and without pedal steel guitar and with one extra "girls like you" at the end, so, faded out later.
Version 2, with pedal steel guitar and extra backing vocals added to create a stereo sound, was released in the UK on the album "Metamorphosis" in June, 1975. Although released as a Stones song, the only Stones believed on it are Mick Jagger and Keith Richards.
Lead vocals: Mick Jagger. Guitars: Keith Richards and John McLaughlin. Bass: Joe Moretti. Drums: Andy White.
Source file of this edit is track 9 of cd 4 of the 13 cd limited deluxe edition bootleg set "Collector Treasures 1961-1967" by Wonderland Records, catalogue number SF-6167.

I'D MUCH RATHER BE WITH THE BOYS
(Keith Richards/Andrew Oldham)
here I am
all alone and all dressed up to kill
'cause I'd much rather be with the boys
than be with you
here I am
with the gang I don't care where you are
'cause I'd much rather be with the boys
than be with you
I hold up my head up high when I walk down the street
now I'm a man I'm standing on my own two feet
don't try to call me 'cause now I know the score
and now I know that I don't need you anymore
don't put me on
it's over now, it's no good looking back
'cause I'd much rather be with the boys than be with you
who's fooling who
it's over and you've had all your getting from me
'cause I'd much rather be with the boys
'cause I'd much rather be with the boys
yes I'd much rather be with the boys
and the boys they would much rather be with the boys than with girls like you
girls like you, girls like you, girls like you, girls like you
