Indeed! And it's interesting that a 1968 track minus Jones and Taylor could fit so nicely into Sticky Fingers as it did. Great track!

Are there any recordings of it from 68?

This track released today would receive some heat. Songs such as this glamorized hard drugs for my generation. People turn a blind eye to The Stones when it comes to lyrics and I glad for it as they captured a dark side to Flower Power and beyond. So many great songs from the 70's are about drugs. Layla pretends to be about Patti but the lyrics tell the story. "Darling won't you ease my worried mind."

Here is the original from 1969. It was the B side to "Something Better," which is the song she sang at the "Rock and Roll Circus.":

It's about a man needing morphine after a car crash. Not really that controversial?

Anyone know the personnel on this track with Marianne Faithful. No Ry Cooder it seems.

No one knows this. I don't. It's a drug tune and a downer. Brilliant but too dark to listen to a lot.
In the vein of "Tonight's The Night" by Neil Young

What was Marianne Faithful's contribution to that track?
