Rolling Stones with Bill Plummer, Bobby Keys, Jim Price, Nicky Hopkins.

Kick ass and roll; the Stones shift their butts on this two minute electric rock'n' roller. Nicky Hopkins pounces on the black and white keys and the sax squeals in surprise while Bill 'winkle pickers Comet' Plummer plays the upright bass. The track's foundation, however, is the enraged guitar work of Keith Richards and the Route 66 type lyrics of Mick Jagger, which travel the States. Ah, let it rock, wham bam, round and round we go! Mention is made of the President, Richard Nixon aand the First Lady, Pat Nixon. It is classic Stones material. An early unavailable out-take has Keith on vocals and is probably the original version recorded before the overdubs were made.
