Nanker Phelge was a collective pseudonym used between 1963 and 1965 for several Rolling Stones group compositions. The origins of the name are explained by Bill Wyman in his 2002 book, "Rolling with the Stones"... When the Stones cut "Stoned" - or "Stones", according to early misprinted pressings - as the B-side to "I Wanna Be Your Man", Brian [Jones] suggested crediting it to Nanker/Phelge. The entire band would share writing royalties. Phelge came from Edith Grove flatmate Jimmy Phelge, while a Nanker was a revolting face that band members, Brian in particular, would pull. Thus any credits attributed to Nanker Phelge are the collaborative work of Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Brian Jones, Charlie Watts and Bill Wyman and The ASCAP files for the very earliest Nanker Phelge compositions also list early Rolling Stones member Ian Stewart (also known as "the sixth Stone") as a co-author covered by the pseudonym.
