The Rolling Stones number one hit, “Have You Seen Your Mother Baby, Standing in the Shadow?” was originally a single that was released during the year of 1966. It was included on their compilation album, “Big Hits (High Tide and Green Grass).” It was released during the winter of that year, originally recorded during the hotter summer months as an end of the year single for the band. The most notable part about this song is the amazing timbre that it has to offer due to the usage of brass instruments. Mike Leander was responsible for the amazing horn arrangements that are heard in this tune. “Have You Seen Your Mother Baby, Standing In The Shadow?” is one of the few Rolling Stones songs of this era that was released back to back in both the United Kingdom and the United States as a simultaneous single. Two fun Rolling Stone facts about this song are that the band was not happy with the final recording as they felt that the rhythm section was suffering. And, it was one of the first rock and roll songs that introduced the now very popular guitar feedback. This song is a big time favorite amongst many Rolling Stones fans, and as a result has appeared on many different Stones’ recordings. Including the 1966 ““Have You Seen Your Mother Baby, Standing In The Shadow?,” and a live album called, “Got Live if You Want It!,” as well as the popular, best-selling album, the Rolling Stones 2002 compilation of greatest hits, “Forty Licks.” One final and hilarious fact to note about this tune is that the single that was released in Britain has garnered much fame for featuring the entire band dressed in drag on its cover! “Have You Seen Your Mother Baby, Standing In The Shadow?” Live Footage Below!
