Artist: Marianne Faithfull
Author: Mick Jagger/Marianne Faithfull/Keith Richard
Label: Decca
Year: 1969
Produced by Mick Jagger; B-side of Something Better but shelved after two days in store when Decca realised where this song was about. Only 500 copies got released. First time Marianne sang a song she wrote, losing her angelic voice in the process.
Covers:
Rolling Stones [recorded at the tail end of March '69, when Marianne's version was just released; Ry Cooder plays bottleneck; saved up for Sticky Fingers]
Faithfull's song was credited Jagger/Richards on the Stones version until 1994. Is it Richard or Richards? Since his Canadian drug trial in '77 he re-started using that 's' officially. Richards is Keith's real name; Richard was his stage alias since Cliff was his idol.
