From Martin Elliott’s book THE ROLLING STONES COMPLETE RECORDING SESSIONS 1962-2012:
Take your pick on the backing cast. Andrew Oldham and Mick Jagger recorded the song principally for Chris Farlowe. The track is orchestrated and features female bacing vocals. Art Greenslade arrange dthe backing track, which was also used for the Chris Farlowe single. Mick Jagger produce dthe single and thereby prompted a British number 1 for Farlowe in June 1966. The contemptuous lyrics fired yet another swipe at the demeanour of women. Decca released the track with Mick Jagger on vocals as a single in 1975 from the dubious Metamorphosis compilation. At the same time Chris Farlowe’s version was released and Dan McCafferty, ex-Nazareth Scottish rock singer, completed a bit of history with the unusual appearance of three versions of Out of Time in the lower reaches of the British charts in September 1975. out of time metamorphosis
