Released on 24 May 1968, "Jumpin' Jack Flash" (backed with "Child of the Moon") reached the top of the UK Singles Chart and peaked at number three in the United States. It topped the US "Cashbox" chart for one week and the WLS 890 Hit Parade for four weeks. Some early London Records US pressings of the single had a technical flaw in them: about halfway through the song's instrumental bridge, the speed of the master tape slows down for a moment, before coming back to speed. The first Rolling Stones album on which the song appeared was their 1969 compilation album, "Through the Past, Darkly (Big Hits Vol. 2)", one year after the single was released. Since then, it has appeared on numerous Stones compilations, including "Hot Rocks 1964–1971" (1971), "30 Greatest Hits" (1977), "" (1989), "Forty Licks" (2002), "GRRR!" (2012) and "Stray Cats", a collection of singles and rarities included as part of "The Rolling Stones in Mono" box set (2016).
