Satisfaction is 50 Years Old . . . In June, 1965 it begins its journey. 50 years later it continues to rule its world. Richards recorded the rough version of the riff in a hotel room. He ran through it once before falling asleep. He said when he listened back to it in the morning, there was about two minutes of acoustic guitar before you could hear him drop the pick and then me snoring for the next forty minutes. The Rolling Stones first recorded the track on 10 May 1965 at Chess Studios in Chicago – a version featuring Brian Jones on harmonica. The group re-recorded it two days later at RCA Studios in Hollywood, with a different beat and the Gibson Maestro fuzzbox adding sustain to the sound of the guitar riff. Richards envisioned redoing the track later with a horn section playing the riff: this was just a little sketch, because, to my mind, the fuzz tone was really there to denote what the horns would be doing. The other Rolling Stones, as well as producer and manager Andrew Loog Oldham and sound engineer David Hassinger eventually outvoted Richards and Jagger so the track was selected for release as a single. The songs success boosted sales of the Gibson fuzzbox so that the entire available stock sold out by the end of 1965. -- La Wik https://youtube/watch?x-yt-ts=1421914688&v=poXvMBhjSWk&x-yt-cl=84503534
