The Rolling Stones-Jumpin' Jack Flash b/w Child Of The Moon
Decca Records
Released in the UK on May 24, 1968 (USA June 1, 1968)
USA/UK Chart Peak #1
Released in spring 1968, Jumpin' Jack Flash is the greatest single of the Rolling Stones' career. It was the record where they officially left The Beatles in the dust. The track was originally slated to be included on the 1968 album Beggar's Banquet (but left off in the 11th hour.) It was a wicked mix of psychedelia and hard rock that featured one of the greatest guitar riffs in rock history (it also hit the #1 spot all over the planet.)
I first heard it while driving in my mother's 1967 Pontiac LeMans in the early summer of 1968 and it blew my 8 year old mind sky high. I just had to have the record at once (mom actually gave me the 89 cents it cost and I snagged it at the Woolworth's in Bridgeport, Connecticut (it was a key moment in my life and I remember it like yesterday!)
Worthy covers were done by The Flamin' Groovies and Johnny Winter.
