"Have You Seen You Mother, Baby, Standing in the Shadow?" is a song by the British rock 'n roll band The Rolling Stones. It first appeared on their 1966 compilation album Big Hits (High Tide and Green Grass).
Written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, the song was recorded in the late summer of 1966. It is famous for its horns arrangement (arranged by Mike Leander; this is the first Stones song to feature brass) and is one of the earliest songs to use feedback from the guitars. The Stones have said that they were unhappy with the final cut, bemoaning the loss of the original cut's strong rhythm section.
It was released as a single in September 1966 simultaneously in the UK and the US (a first for the band), and reached #5 and #9 on those country's charts, respectively. The b-side is "Who's Diving Your Plane?". The UK single is famous for its cover featuring the band dressed in drag. Peter Whitehead's promotional film for the single was one of the first music videos. A fan favourite, the song appears on many hits compilations and was recorded for the live album Got Live if You Want It!.
