This is very clearly an old mono "Oldham" recording, with girls added to both channels, a pedal steel guitar (that I unfortunately could not cut out, I don't like that whining sound) added to the right and a guitar to the left.
I edited this song, for the mono song that is the base of it was just a bit too much on the left channel.
Recorded on February 24, 1965. This song wasn't released until 1975 on the "METAMORPHOSIS".
Lead Vocals: Mick Jagger. Guitars: Keith Richards, John McLaughlin. Bass: Joe Moretti. Drums: Andy White.
I'D MUCH RATHER BE WITH THE BOYS
(Richards/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, then 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
Yes I'd much rather be with the boys
Yes 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...
