As a mix-nerd of The Rolling Stones' recordings, I can confirm that Long Long While only exists in mono and that a stereo version has never ever appeared either officially or non-officially. Records claiming otherwise, are either wrongly labelled or are in fake-stereo.

Yes, it's on the old Decca compilation "No Stone Unturned" in the dreaded "Electronically re-processed for stereo". Horrid.

Is this 'electronically re-processed Stereo' the same Mix as the Ping-Pong-Stereo of 'Paint It Black' and 'Under My Thumb' or does this 'electronically re-processed Stereo' sound like the Pseudo-Stereo generated by a High-Pass/Low-Pass-Filter as at the Beatles US-Capitol-Mixes?

What's wrong with the stereo mix of UMT?

Nothing, but I would say it's still a kind of Ping-Pong-Stereo -- when listening via Headphones: Drums, Bass & Marimba are left, Guitars are right, Vocals & Percussion are in the middle.

For some reason, I thought this mix worked nicely on this particular song.

Never heard it in Stereo anyway. I think everything recorded in Chicago and in the RCA studios in Hollywood have been recorded in a way that should be possible to release in stereo, but either there is no interest or the session tapes are lost. I don't know where or when Long long while was recorded but if in 1966, no matter where, everything was recorded at least on 4 tracks? One can also wonder why tracks released in fake stereo suddently appears in real stereo on later releases? Why not real from the start?

Plus, who knows if each and every session multitrack tape still exists? In cases where a mono master tape is all that's left, no true stereo mix will ever be possible.
