  Nanker Phelge - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nanker Phelge (aka Nanker/Phelge) was a pseudonym used for early Rolling Stones group compositions.
Phelge came from Edith Grove flatmate Jimmy Phelge, while a Nanker was a revolting face that band members, Brian in particular, would pull.
Thus anything credited to Nanker Phelge refers to a Mick Jagger/Brian Jones/Keith Richards/Charlie Watts/Bill Wyman composition.

 Review: Nankering with the Rolling Stones
Phelge was trying so hard to be funny in his “reading instructions” but he didn’t strike me as anything but pretentious.
Phelge can’t seem to remember the names of some of the people.
My final little bone to pick is with how Phelge makes himself look so noble by backing away from the Stones when they got famous so that he wouldn’t seem to be a “hanger-on”.

'Phelge' was for Jimmy Phelge, a friend of the band who shared the infamous Edith Grove apartment with Mick, Keith and Brian, and who, though not in the band, was 'one of them,' so to speak, so using his name was a tip of the hat to their friend.

 STONES HISTORY & DISCOGRAPHY
In June of 1963, the Stones released their first single, a Chuck Berry tune, "Come On." The group performed on the British TV show "Thank Your Lucky Stars," where the producer told Oldham to get rid of "that vile-looking singer with the tire-tread lips." The single reached #21 on the British charts.
After proving themselves with a series of chart topping hits, Jagger and Richards began writing their own songs using the pseudonym "Nanker Phelge." "Tell Me (You're Coming Back)" became the band's first U.S. Top Forty hit.
January of 1965 was the year the Stones broke another # 1 in the U.K. with "The Last Time" and broke the top ten in the U.S. with the same tune.
