Cover art for Sittin On A Fence lyrics by Rolling Stones, The

Very beautiful and relatively little-known song from The Stones' deep catalogue. Recorded in early Dec., 1965, in LA, during the sessions for the album "Aftermath," but did not make it onto the pressings of the either the UK or US editions of that album." It made it in the States, finally, on the catch-all album "Flowers," summer 1967, which was originally not released in the UK. Finally released in the UK on "Through The Past Darkly: Big Hits, Vol. 2," late summer 1969, though not onto the US pressings of that album. Made it onto the second "Hot Rocks" anthology, subtitled "Big Hits and Fazed Cookies," released in both the UK and the US in 1972. Personnel: Mick Jagger: lead vocal; Keith Richards: acoustic guitar and harmony vocal; Brian Jones: lead acoustic guitar and harpsichord; Bill Wyman: bass; Charlie Watts: tambourine.
