Loved this era Stones more than any other..Most creative

[herbertluthe]

always reminds me on an evening in Rangoon about 1982 when my room mate played that song in a cheap hotel on a cheap cassette player - wonderful evening!

Child of the Moon was the B side on the Jumping Jack Flash 45. The first time I played it, I thought the record was warped. Sort of a transition from Satanic Majesties to Beggars Banquet.

It is very nice acustic version. A piece of art

[JayGorham]

Great song and so cool to hear it in it's infancy.

Me learning acoustic guitar after already playing oboe for 10 years even in the Air Force Academy band, I loved learning this song on acoustic guitar.

I wonder where that 3 pickup Les Paul Custom is today. Def a 7 figure guitar.

Bridge between Satanic Majesties and Beggars

It's amazing what Brian Jones could have done if he would applied himself more to the music. 😢

This version is not quite enough! All you have to do is compairing it with the one where Mick sings.... So much better!!! When I was thirteen, I heard it over and over and over.... Still, there was a friend of mine who played it on acoustic guitar and all the others would sing along, thousands of times!!!

[Incognito-jfdr]

Even Stones demo's are better than anything around today

[rman]

The stones were and are an inigma. No virtuosos or world class song writers. But their songs are phenomenal. And every instrumental and vocal track were so musical. And everything they did, you can feel such strong blues roots. And you can't discount the it factor of Jagger and Richard's. Those guys were born to be front stage rockers. After the Fabs, they are the greatest of pop rock.

Personnel? I would guess Keith on all the guitars, Keith or Bill on bass, Nicky on piano, Charlie on drums. Any info?

[gordonely]

Mick & Keith learnt a lot from Andrew Loog Oldham ~ he was a terrific conman , but gutless when Keith got busted by the cops .
