Credited to Jagger, Richards and Taylor on the first pressing of the album. The credits were changed to 'Jagger/Richards' with the second pressing and on the 2002 SACD version Godzi" and "Panama Powder Room" were instrumentals from the Between the Buttons sessions and have never been released. They were recorded at RCA Studios, Hollywood on August 4-12, 1966.

Jagger was furious and even went so far as to taking out adverts telling fans not to buy these records. 'metamorphosis' is one of the most cynical, an album with one side taken up with demos jagger/richards punted to other artists (most of them pretty awful) and the other side taken up with outtakes from the groups later 60s records.Austriancharts.at – The Rolling Stones – Metamorphosis" (in German).

The material on the second side eclipses that on the first. “I Don’t Know Why,” from the Let It Bleed era, meanders aimlessly. (As a further instance of the album’s sloppiness, the song is mistakenly credited to the Stones but was in fact written by Stevie Wonder and two others.) “If You Let Me” sounds like Between the Buttons and is stylistically related to all of Buttons’ tragicomic intensity. “Jiving Sister Fanny” is again little more than a riff and a couple of words that go nowhere, proving that even the Rolling Stones can be mediocre when they’re off or think nobody’s looking.
