Definitely attributed to the wrong album—Satanic's is certainly the Stones' most psychedelic album, which I believe was kind of a response to Sgt. Pepper's. I always thought it was a fantastic Stones album, pretty cerebral to say the least. Don't know if it still holds the record, but I believe it was the most expensive album cover in its day.

However, Child of the Moon was never on it. As mentioned previously, Child was first released as a B side. Later, it appeared on the compilation More Hot Rocks. Boy, I wish I kept my vinyl of *that*!
 
The song can also be found on the obscure Decca import No Stone Unturned:

You can still buy a used copy of the vinyl 45 rpm via Amazon, but it may not have that great cover sleeve.

That is correct.  The 45 jacket art even showed the Stones from the rear on the B-side .  Kinda cool at the time.

That's gotta be the fuzziest fuzz bass I've ever heard. Maybe even a little moldy.

Yeah, I thought the same thing. It's definitely not on my version (LP) either. This site says it was "Recorded in July & October, 1967. Released as a US B side to the "Jumping Jack Flash" single on May 24, 1968". Sounds about right.

I liked this the first time when it was called "Rain" and The Beatles were singing.

The Stones are just fine but there ain't much they did the Beatles didn't do first (unless you want to count recording a disco album).

This album is pretty much the zenith of their Beatle-copying, ain't it?

You too? At the least, I hope there's some dumpster diver who got rich because of dear od mom. And, the song is very, very ordinary - especially for the Stones.

This was the last album of theirs I liked.

They look so bored now...they can't need the money so why bother...I hope they don't feel the urge to marry anymore children though.

One of my favorite of the more obscure Stones tunes. (If an "obscure Stones song" isn't an oxymoron.) But this is NOT on "Their Satanic Majesties." It is from the same time period, but was the "B" side of (I think) "Jumpin' Jack Flash" and later turned up on one of the compilations.

I remember buying the Jumping Jack Flash 45, ummm, a few years ago. This was the B side. Sounded pretty good at the time. I think Charlie Watts was going for a Ringo Starr drumming knockoff here. The record art (sorta like shown on this page) was kinda neat, too. The A side had the front of the guys and the B side had them from the back. FWIW....

The Stones are one of those special bands where their commercial stuff is also their best stuff. This one isn't one of those songs.
