I used to have the vinyl double album More Hot Rocks (Big Hits & Fazed Cookies), that included this song; the 3.48 length version.

The original was recorded in West End of London at Regent Sound in January and February of 1964 with two demo versions with, and without, piano.  In a 1971 interview with Rolling Stone, Keith Richards disclosed that most all of the songs on their first album were dubs.   Whoever happened to be at the studio at a given moment would add something.  The group truthfully didn't have much control over the process.

Released in the UK the earliest version did not include the piano; which was corrected with the later release of the LP.  In June of 1964 the shorter edit, 2:47 in duration, was released as a single in the US and peaked at number 24 on the Billboard Hot 100.
