Your wonderful story made me smile, Green Lady. What a great childhood memory for you.
A later pressing...original is in open DECCA letters not boxed, and in the orange not, azure coloured sleeve.
Or Keith.
By a complete fluke I heard this in the autumn of 1963
when one of my sister's classmates came back from a sojourn in the UK.
Who'da thunk it would turn into a habit of a lifetime -
thanks & praises, Rolling Stones!
Great!
More details please GL!
It was issued in UK two years later ....(this disc on Pye int.)

At this moment, it's still the 6th June in UK.
It might be Bill who does the falsetto.

I have all my dad's old Decca 45's, including Come On. The UK pressings didn't come with the picture sleeve, though.

1963 - Green Lady is off to school in Twickenham on her ancient and unreliable pushbike, hoping that today the chain won't come off yet again and make her arrive late and filthy from having to stop and reconnect it. All the three miles to school the song plays in her head and the pedals go up and down to the rhythm of "I wish someone would come along and run into it and wreck it" - and at school the older girls talk about the band they saw at the Island Hotel.

You should check the latest setlist. Sorry, but as many criticisms there are about the Stones, they are still awesome.Quote

Those of you that want to go the extra step there is a picture sleeve export edition. And of course there's the super expensive UK demo version. I've only seen it in pictures. Any proud collector have that one?

It seems that Mick told about Come On 50th anniversary today on stage:
"Tomorrow our first single COME ON was released 50 years ago, I don't know if I can remember the lyrics" Charlie plays, Mick sings

Mick Jagger 'over the moon' to hear debut single on the radio 50 years after its release
Sir Mick Jagger has recalled how he was "over the moon" to hear his first ever single on the radio - 50 years to the day after the track's release.
Exactly half a century ago today, The Rolling Stones issued their debut, "Come On", a Chuck Berry cover, less than a month after recording it for Decca Records.
The quintet recorded the song at Olympic Sound Studios in Barnes, south west London, on May 10 1963, a day after finalising their record deal.
They only ever played the song a few times live.
Frontman Sir Mick, speaking from Toronto during band's latest tour, said he still remembers the excitement of hearing the track on the radio for the first time.
"I was told by Decca that the record would be played that weekend by Brian Matthew on the big Saturday morning BBC show called Saturday Club, I was very doubtful if this was such a cert as Decca records had let us down so many times.
"But come the day I was glued to the radio at ten o'clock and there it was.
"First 45 played was ours - 'Come On'."
Sir Mick, who turns 70 next month, added: "We were, how's it go, over the moon."
Manager Andrew Loog Oldham wanted to get something out as quickly as possible.
Guitarist Keith Richards once said of the release: "At the time it was done just to get a record out.
"We never wanted to hear it.
"The idea was Andrew's - to get a strong single so they'd let us make an album which back then was a privilege."
Fans could expect to pay a few shillings for the track, if it was stocked by their local electrical store, but mint copies now change hands for £50. The track peaked at 21 in the charts.
When the one minute and 48-second song was recorded few could have ever imagined they would still be performing, but the band is currently on the road with its 50 & Counting Tour in Canada.
The Stones will headline Glastonbury Festival for the first time later this month, as well as playing two shows at London's Hyde Park in July.
Presenter Matthew, 84, is still hosting a BBC show on Saturday mornings, having hosted Sounds Of The 60s for the past 23 years on Radio 2.
