Rolling Stone magazine, in their 100 Greatest Rolling Stones Songs article named "Back Street Girl" at number 85.[2] Mick Jagger in an interview with Rolling Stone in 1968 was asked how he felt about Between the Buttons. Of the album, he said: "I don't know, it just isn't any good. "Back Street Girl" is about the only [song] I like."[3]

The song is a waltz which showcases Brian Jones playing vibraphone and Rolling Stones contributor Jack Nitzsche on the harpsichord. Accordion was played by Nick de Caro.[4]

Notes


  1. Margotin and Guesdon are uncertain whether Jones participated in the recording, but suggest he may have played vibraphone, harpsichord, Mellotron or electronic organ. They also raise the possibility Jack Nitzsche played harpsichord in Jones' place.[5]
