Wyman's work as a Rolling Stone, both in the studio and during concerts, rarely involved him providing vocals. One notable exception was the song "In Another Land," released both on the Their Satanic Majesties Request album and oddly enough, released also as a solo Bill Wyman single. A second Wyman penned song, "Downtown Suzie", was released on a collection of Rolling Stones outtakes, with the title of the song altered by Rolling Stones manager Allen Klein without informing either Wyman or the band.
