Nicky Hopkins was featured on piano. He and Ian Stewart made significant contributions to The Stones on keyboards, but were never credited with being official members of the group. Hopkins and Stewart both toured with the band as well.

On "Monkey Man," Keith Richards played electric and slide electric guitar; Bill Wyman played bass and also provided vibes; producer Jimmy Miller assisted drummer Charlie Watts on tambourine.
