"Stoned" was released in the United Kingdom by the Rolling Stones on the Decca label on 1 November 1963, as the B-side to their version of "I Wanna Be Your Man".[2] Recorded in early October 1963, it was the first song released to be credited to "Nanker Phelge", and the band's first original composition, derivative of "Green Onions" by Booker T. & the M.G.s.[citation needed] This bluesy quasi-instrumental[3] features Jones on harmonica and Stewart on tack piano, with occasional vocals from Jagger who huskily recites "Stoned .... outa mah mind .... where am I at?"[4]
The single was briefly released in the United States on the London Records label in March 1964,[4] but was quickly withdrawn on "moral grounds"[3] until its inclusion on Singles Collection: The London Years in 1989.[5] It also appeared on the 1973 UK-only compilation No Stone Unturned, and on Singles 1963-1965 (2004).[2]
The title was altered to "Stones" on some copies of the British release. The title "Stones" also appears on some foreign E.P.s.
