"Stoned" was released in the UK by The Rolling Stones on the Decca label on November 1, 1963, as the B-side to their version of "I Wanna Be Your Man".[1] Recorded in early October of 1963, it was the first song released to be credited to "Nanker Phelge", and the band's first original composition. Derivative of "Green Onions" by Booker T. & the M.G.s, this bluesy instrumental was not released in the United States on moral grounds[2] until its inclusion on Singles Collection: The London Years in 1989.[3] It also appeared on the 1973 UK-only compilation No Stone Unturned, and on Singles 1963-1965 (2004).[1]
