I DON'T KNOW WHY - Mistakenly credited to Jagger/Richards when it came out on Metamorphosis and released as a single, but this is a Stevie Wonder penned song. The Stones were in the middle of recording this tune with Mick Taylor when they were interrupted by a phone call early in the morning of July 3rd '69, informing them that Brian had died. They did not feel like playing anymore after that and the song was finished a few days later.

This is a great little song written by Bill and recorded by the Stones in May '68 during the Beggars Banquet sessions. Great acoustic guitar on this one. Wasn't released until '75 on Metamorphosis, too bad. Mick shows us he can sing a B.Wyman tune and when you listen to this one it sounds as much a Stones song as any other, more so than Bill's In Another Land, his only other penned song released by the Stones. I have seen this tune mistitled on boot as Sweet Lucy.

Still A Fool: Mistakenly referred to as Two Trains on many occasions. This is the studio version of the Muddy Waters classic. Distorted vocal maybe through a harp mic.
