A Psychedelic Mystery Unearthed: Another Stones’ Lost Track Resurfaces
For decades, it lived in obscurity—known only by a few collectors (only by the name) under cryptic working titles like Dream Pipe. Now, She’s Doing Her Thing, an unreleased Rolling Stones track from 1967, has finally surfaced in a bootleg version, offering fans a rare glimpse into a forgotten corner of the band’s most experimental period.
Recorded between October 2–5, 1967 at both De Lane Lea Studios and Olympic Studios in London, the track was born during the famously trippy Their Satanic Majesties Request sessions. Unlike the polished psychedelia of the album’s official tracks, She’s Doing Her Thing drifts in a more groove-driven, organ-soaked direction—thanks in part to the unmistakable presence of guest keyboard wizard Nicky Hopkins.
She’s Doing Her Thing—But Why Wasn’t It Released?
Written by the legendary Jagger/Richards duo, the song blends swirling keys, laid-back vocals, and an infectious rhythm, suggesting it may have simply been too stylistically distinct—or too ahead of its time—to make the final album cut. While the Stones were stretching the limits of rock with Satanic Majesties, She’s Doing Her Thing walks a more Latin-calypso-whatever path within the psychedelic haze.
Its recent appearance in bootleg form gives fans and music historians a chance to re-evaluate this overlooked track as more than just a studio leftover. It’s a time capsule from one of the Stones’ most creatively bold chapters—messy, moody, and full of strange charm.
For those curious about the Stones’ deeper cuts, She’s Doing Her Thing is not just a curiosity—it’s a missing puzzle piece from a very weird and wonderful year.
