(wNicky Hopkins)
-Although the Stones' psychedelic album Their Satanic Majesties Request of late '67 has taken a bad rap, they didn't entirely abandon the trippy sound even as they put it behind them and moved into a more blues-based rock for their next single Jumpin' Jack Flash and the album Beggar's Banquet (which had Street Fighting Man on it).
The released version of the song was recorded on March 29, 1968 at sessions held from March 17 to April 3, 1968 at Olympic Studios in London, England. This is an early "Beggars Banquet" session and it marks the final throws Stones psychedelic influence left from the "Their Satanic Majesties Request" period with the two works Jumpin' Jack Flash and Child of the Moon. It was initially only released as the B-side to the Jumpin' Jack Flash single released in May 1968. Neither song was to be included on the next Stones album " Beggars Banquet" perhaps because they did not fit in to the country folk theme that the album was evolving into at the time or more likely because the recordings had already been released as a single months before the December 1968 issue of "Beggars Banquet". Truly a transition period for The Rolling Stones captured in the time capsule of this recording session and this song. It was later released on compilation LP's such as the UK "No Stone Unturned", "More Hot Rocks (big hits & phased cookies)", and "Singles Collection - the London Years". The falsetto singing at the beginning of the song is not Mick. It's producer Jimmy Miller.
