Edit for headphones. From the bootleg "Genuine Black Box" by "Scorpio".
This song was recorded by the Stones 20-21 November 1963 in Regent Sound Studios London, but never released officially. It became the first recorded Jagger/Richards song by another artist, George Bean. Mick also claims this was the first song he and Keith wrote, but Keith claims it was "As Tears Go By".

This song and "My only girl" (a.k.a. "That girl belongs to yesterday") and "Leave me alone" are the earliest known Jagger/Richards compositions, intended to be recorded by other artists.
Gene Pitney recorded "My Only Girl" and his single became the first released Jagger/Richards song by another artist in late 1963. George Bean was the first artist to record a Jagger/Richards song, "It should be you", but it was not released till early 1964.

Brian Jones, lead guitar. Keith Richards, rhythm guitar. Bill Wyman, bass. Charlie Watts, drums. Piano: Ian Stewart. Mick Jagger, vocals.

IT SHOULD BE YOU
(Jagger/Richards)

she's sweet and tender, but I remember
the girl I once knew, made me feel so blue
she loves me madly, I treat her badly
'cause girl, it should be you, it should be you
it should be you, it should be you...

I went a-wrong, when you were gone
it seems ashame, but I'm to blame
she loves me madly, I treat her badly
'cause girl, it should be you, it should be you
it should be you, it should be you...

what can I do to win her back
she kisses me but it's not the same

I'm broken hearted, since we parted
I wanna pick up, from where we started
she loves me madly, I treat her badly
'cause girl, it should be you, it should be you
it should be you, it should be you...
