• Originally the flip side of “Let’s Spend the Night Together,” “Ruby Tuesday” became a hit in its own right when the A-side, with its sexual insinuations, proved too controversial for some radio stations to play.
• Ironically, “Ruby Tuesday” became a Number One hit, while “Let’s Spend the Night Together” only hit Number 55 on the Billboard Hot 100.
• The version of “Ruby Tuesday” that appears on Between the Buttons is a few seconds longer than the version that appears on the single.
• “Ruby Tuesday” and “Let’s Spend the Night Together” appeared on the American version of Between the Buttons only. It was the last Stones album to appear in different versions in the U.K. and the U.S.
• For the recording of “Ruby Tuesday,” the Stones returned to RCA Studios in Hollywood, where the previous March they’d held a prolific session that yielded songs such as “Paint It, Black,” “Lady Jane,” and “Mother’s Little Helper.”
• In his memoir Stone Alone, Bill Wyman remembers the scene at RCA Studios and in Los Angeles at that time: “We loved this studio because it was custom-built: with no windows, we neither knew nor cared whether it was night or day but just kept playing on. As I arrived two girls we had met in Phoenix were hanging around outside. I got them into the studio quietly and told them to strip and walk in on the boys to shock them, which they did. Andrew grabbed one and pulled her into the control room for ‘action’ in front of everyone.”
• Mick Jagger has never been a fan of the Between the Buttons album, mostly because the four-track recording process was too limiting. “Oh, I hate that f***ing record,” he said in 1986.

Nevertheless, Between the Buttons still earned a gold record and reached Number Two on the Billboard Top 200.
