Mick Jagger (1995): “It’s a very in-your-face kind of sound and very clearly done. Nitzsche was a prolific producer who also scored many movies, including The Exorcist and One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest. They left to tour Australia the next day. The other Stones went to sleep after a long session while producer Phil Spector filled in on bass and his assistant, Jack Nitzsche, played harpsichord. Mick Jagger and Keith Richards are the only Stones to play on this. This started out as an up-tempo song called “A Mess Of Fire.” It’s a “don’t mess with me” song, with Mick Jagger addressing a well-heeled woman to let her know he’s not intimidated by her riches.
