31. 8th November, 1964 : Chicago, Chess Studios. Producer: Andrew Oldham. Sound
Engineer: Ron Malo.
- Fanny Mae (Buster Brown/Robinson or Waymon Glasco) -unverified
- Good Bye Girl (BW)
- Key To The Highway (William Broonzy/Charles Segar) -STU on piano
and maybe Howlin’ Wolf on guitar
- Little Red Rooster II (Willie Dixon) -unconfirmed
- Mercy, Mercy I (Don Covay/Ronnie Miller) -early faster, funkier version
- Time Is On My Side III (Jerry Ragavoy) -guitar intro, STU on organ;
The Rolling Stones No.2-version
- What A Shame (MJ/KR) -STU on piano; 7“-version
Note: Good Bye Girl is also known as Get Back To The One You Love among
collectors. Lead singer of this BW-composition is MJ!
It is possible that the Stones re-recorded, overdubbed or mixed Little Red
Rooster on this occasion as well.
During their 2nd U.S. tour (& their first really successful one) they again spent a couple of days at the Chess studios in Chicago, though the results weren’t quite as consistent as before. ‘Goodbye Girl’ (also known as ‘Get Back To The One You Love’) is a rare Bill Wyman composition sung by Mick, & although it’s no ‘Satisfaction’ it’s still a pretty good rhythm ‘n’ blues-pop song. ‘Key To The Highway’ is the Muddy Waters song & sounds more like a ‘jam’ than an attempt at a polished take, & ‘Mercy Mercy’ is a faster but weaker early version of a song that they’d later re-cut.
