Recorded: Chess Studios, Chicago, USA, June 10-11 1964
*Rarely issued officially in ‘The Best of the Rest, The Rolling Stones Story Part 2’ (German compilation, 1983)

From Martin Elliott’s book THE ROLLING STONES COMPLETE RECORDING SESSIONS 1962-2012:
This time the Stones latch on to a Big Bill Broonzy song. They play a typical plodding blues with the obligatory wailing harmonica. It’s certainly not a classic and has not officially been made available, either in the USA or the United Kingdom . In Germany, a boxed set of Stones’ material included the song, a fact which may have disconcerted some Decca personnel! The basic attitude adopted at the Chess sessions was to have a good time and lay down as many tracks as possible, usually in just one take. Tell Me Baby catches the enthusiasm but not th skilful direction of other tracks.
