Well, Nico (among others) think it's Nicky. I suppose it's hard to know if it's just speculation. Just out of curiosity, why are you certain it isn't?
The words of the people involved at the time close to the time, but especially Nicky's own words in a 1967 Beat Instrumental in which he is excited that he'll be on a stones release for the first time... that being We Love You.
Given the stones were recording already by February 1967 it's understandible that through time their memories of when Nicky started recording with them will be a bit mixed up.

The only bad thing about "All Down the Line" I could manage to say was that I was very disappointed in the alternate mix on the flip side of "Happy." I love the EXILE mix. I love the official live versions except for the one on SHINE A LIGHT. However, I've noted those who spoke against it (especially the remark about Side 4) and the names have been struck from my Christmas card list.

All Down The Line is one of the best rock and roll records anybody ever put out, including them, imo.
Not a trace of doubt ever. As sure as that PUNCH peeps are talking about 8 seconds into Rocks Off. Oh yeah.
This for many in many ways, is one of the best rock and roll songs EVER....
Man I was working some shit jobs back in the day; night shifts on factory lines for all kinds of brutal dock and line work...and I'd hear that line
about the whistle blowing....and then Taylor would take off...
In many way, it's the best doing the best of their best....you got all the main players kicking it at the same time and that wouled never happen again on record or on tour....
For me it's MASSIVELY Great, fully realized incredible rock and roll record. One of the All Time Best.
Studio AND Live. It's definitional seminal perfect Rolling Stones for some fans, and I'm one of 'em. Nothing else sounds like this. It's great.
It's a great song.

..."but I still think that the great Stones album of their mature period is yet to come. Hopefully, Exile on Main Street will give them the solid footing they need to open up,
and with a little horizon-expanding (perhaps honed by two months on the road), they might even deliver it to us the next time around." (Lenny Kaye).
...Unfortunatelly, he was wrong...

Sweet Black Angel. I bet this song has never been performed in concert.

Ok - the 1972 concert version is too electric for me. That is not the intent of this masterpiece. It is a disservice on how this song was originally recorded.

Very different from the album version, I think this live version is great, very interessting. Still it might some more elaboration. What as pity they didn't give it another try

Don’t think I’ve ever heard that live version, it’s ambitious. Could have also been played acoustically in the asweet Virginia slot.
Most underrated?: Turd On The Run for me

Absolutely. I would even say "criminally underrated".
