"Have You Seen Your Mother, Baby, Standing in the Shadow?" is a song by the British rock 'n' roll band The Rolling Stones. It first appeared as a single in September 1966 and was included as the opening track on the UK version of 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 Rolling 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 U.S. (a first for the band), and reached #5 and #9 on those country's charts, respectively.
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!.
The track was released on the 2002 compilation album, Forty Licks with the abbreviated title of "Have You Seen Your Mother Baby?".
It has not been played live by the Stones since the 1966 Tour (It was only ever played live by the Stones over a span of 12 days!); however, Mick Jagger performed it in New York in 1993 during his only solo show promoting the album Wandering Spirit.
The B-side is "Who's Driving Your Plane?", a bluesy track.
