About "Back Street Girl"

From the original Rolling Stones Album "Flowers" (26 June 1967)

It was written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards. It first appeared on the UK version of their 1967 album Between the Buttons but was not included on the US version, being replaced by the hit singles "Let's Spend the Night Together" and "Ruby Tuesday". It was first released in the US on the 1967 album Flowers.
The song showcases Brian Jones, playing the accordion and recorder while Jagger sings.
The song has since been covered by alt-country supergroup, Golden Smog on their debut EP, 'On Golden Smog', and also by Social Distortion on their 1988 album, Prison Bound.
The song was also covered on the album "Inside Out" by Bobby Darin. The theme of the song is taken directly from the movie "Back Street", originally starring Irene Dunn and remade at least twice. [From Wikipedia]
