i just love how the Stones started to expand the length of their songs past the normal song length of the time (2:30-3:00). This and another song from Aftermath, "Goin' Home", are perfect examples of how they could write great songs past the normal length of songs back in the mid '60's.
@Stevetheperformer The opening "bass line" is played by the Hammond organ pedals. These early Stones arrangements are so interesting! Brian Jones was especially influential at this time...
LambCouplet, listen closely baby, the Farlowe version IS the Roll Rights with Chris simply laying down a vocal track. Remember, The Stones recorded several versions of this song. Who can blame them; great piece of work.
@priceshagger This IS the Stones' original version. There is a "Stones" version that has the same backing track as Farlowe's; it appears on the compilation Metamorphosis (1975), but is simply Jagger singing over that backing track -- many years later. It was released as a single, as you said, but was not the original version. Nor is it really a Stones song because none of the instruments are played by band members. This is the original and it is musically superior by a long shot.
I just got home from Vietnam and my brother took me to the local bar to have a brew. I was only 20 and not even old enough to drink. But the bar tender let me drink all night for free. There was this old high school girl who knew me and was singing this song to me while it played on the juke box. She was butt ugly and drunk. She was trying to piss me off but I was just so glad to be home.
@19streek Good for you. You handled that situation like a champ. The Vietnam War was such an atrocity for everyone in the world except for the guys behind the creation of the United Nations. No one with any knowledge can blame the soldiers for the Vietnam War. Glad to hear you made it back. Thanks for your sacrifice and positive attitude. Peace.
First heard this on the "Coming Home' soundtrack, I found it on the "Flowers album. It remains on my top 5 Stones tunes , Somehow though, They really miss Brian Jones.
@LambCouplet Musically it's the exactly the same, it is just the vocal that was laid down by Farlowe that differs from the Stones original. The Chris Farlowe version was produced by Jagger and the Rolling Stones 3 months after their April 1966 release which topped the UK charts. They used the original music track, and the voice of Chris Farlowe was added. This version is the album version which is quite different from their single release which was over two minutes shorter.
@priceshagger you are completely incorrect. The Farlowe version not only differs in tempo by being slightly more upbeat, but it has a string arrangement instead of the low key percussion of the original. Get it right mate.
I'd say that the harmony on the 'Stones version beats out the lady-soul background singers and strings in the Chris Farlow version, but both are great, as is the hybrid on "Metamorphosis" . This one, along with a few others from '65 and '66 (like "Connection") have an almost doo-wop quality, along the lines of "You Belong To Me" by the Duprees, but more subtle.
Dan McCafferty (vocal Nazareth), recorded this music too, but solo album. I don't know this version from RS. I write more or less english, but I hope who understand. They song is coal!
Love the track......Brian was kicked out before he died though, so they already threw their lot in with Mick Taylor and it would have gone the way it went. Comforting in a way, tragic in another.

Chris Farlowe's version sounds like Bruce Springsteen, c. 1978. Really. Give it a listen.
But nobody can beat Brian and Keith taking the vocals when Mick orders them to "sing a song".
