MARIANNE FAITHFULL Sister Morphine (Original 1969 Japanese 7" vinyl single, a Rolling Stones-related grail record if ever there was one! In Japan, Sister Morphine was released as the A-side track, with 'Something Better' on the B-side. Manufactured by King Record Co. Ltd., the wide centred yellow & black London label fully credits [Jagger, Faithfull, Richard] as the writers, arranged by Jack Nitzche and produced by Mick Jagger. Housed inside a London Stereophonic turquoise blue company inner, with a unique 4-sided picture inlay sleeve. The front cover is a stunning colour image of Marianne, inside is a Japanese language biography and English language lyrics, with an advert back cover depicting ten contemporary single releases on the London label. A true rarity, nearly impossible to find, and one we're extremely pleased to have in our hands!)
TRACKLISTING AND EXTRA INFORMATION
Side 1: Sister Morphine
Side 2: Something Better
"Sister Morphine" is a song written by Marianne Faithfull, Mick Jagger and Keith Richards. Faithfull released the original version of the song as the B-side to her Decca Records single "Something Better" on 21 February 1969. A different version was released two years later by the Rolling Stones for their 1971 album Sticky Fingers. Jagger produced the track.
The personnel for the Faithfull version are Marianne on vocals, Jagger on acoustic guitar, Ry Cooder on slide guitar and bass guitar, Jack Nitzsche on piano and organ, and Charlie Watts on drums. It was recorded during the Let It Bleed sessions.
The original UK Decca single credited Faithfull as a co-writer, but when London Records issued the single in the United States, her name was omitted, as it was from the credit on Sticky Fingers. After a legal battle Faithfull retained her rights as a co-author, acknowledged by the 1994 Virgin Records reissue of the Stones' album catalogue from Sticky Fingers through Steel Wheels.
In the United Kingdom, Faithfull's single was withdrawn by Decca due to the drug reference in the title, after an estimated 500 copies had been issued, but in other countries the single remained in release. In some territories such as the Netherlands, Italy and Japan, “Sister Morphine” appeared on the A-side. Faithfull performed "Something Better" sung live to a backing track at The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus, but the programme was never televised and no contemporary performance of "Sister Morphine" is known.
