SITTING ON A FENCE

"Sitting On A Fence" was a previously unreleased song recorded by the band in 1965 that wound up on the 'Flowers' compilation album 2 years later in the USA and even later in Britain. In the meantime, it was issued as a single by another group named Twice As Much. Stones producer Andrew Loog Oldham took on the same role on the cover version. The disc peaked at #25 in Britain.

SISTER MORPHINE

Mick Jagger and Keith Richards co-wrote "Sister Morphine" with the former's then partner Marianne Faithfull. The latter released her version as a single in 1969. Jagger produced this cut. A version by the Stones was included on the 1971 album 'Sticky Fingers'. Initially, Faithfull was not credited for her co-write. This has since been corrected.

YOU BETTER MOVE ON

In 1964, The Rolling Stones unleashed its 1st E.P. The release featured 4 remakes by the band. Among them was a cover of the Arthur Alexander song "You Better Move On". The track was included on 'December's Child (And Everybody's)' one year later.
