Possibly that gentle vibraphone part that some mistake for an organ and some a marimba.

I don't really know the difference between a marimba, a vibraphone or a xylophone. I know Bill Wyman plays one of those three on the 'new' cut Don't Be a Stranger and it's pretty fantastic.

Sorry...was posting the link about Nick, but just saw Her Majesty already did so above.
The Stones are listed among his credits at the end.

There's a reason many of us mistake the accordian playing for Brian.

Well, Brian can take credit for one thing. The accordian is played in the spirit of Brian Jones. Sensitive, emotionally resonant playing was his forte. I remember reading Charlie describing Bill's playing as feminine. Yes, Bill played a sensitive bass, sometimes. He could just as easily lay down Brown Sugar and shake the world. Brian's, and then Bill's, sensitivity was vital to their sound and is very much missed today. They were the water signs in the group, up agains the fire of Leo Mick and Saggitarian Keith. There's a reason many of us mistake the accordian playing for Brian.

Keith's acoustic playing on this is ace! Great accordion too of course.

Here's how I asked, just to give better context.
"Hi there!
Currently re-reading 2Stoned, great stuff!
Wondering if Andrew can recall who played accordian on the stones Back Street Girl from Between The Buttons? Some say it was Brian, but it has the feel of a more advanced player.
Hope all is well in the world of loog? Best wishes from cold and rainy aberdeen in Scotland."
