This stereo version of the song is on the album "Hot Rocks 1964-1971" (Europe 2 cd release - 2002 remaster, cataloge nr 882 334-2). It has Brian Jones on guitar on both channels, as well as the (pretty faintly audible) piano; the rest is the mono version of the song, so, centered.
Quite something different than this is the mix on "Hot Rocks 1964-1971" (USA 2cd release 1986 remaster, cataloge numbers ABKCO 66672 and ABKCO 606-607): that "Satisfaction" is MONO !
This video's version of the song is also on the Japanese 2cd version of "Hot Rocks 1964-1971" (mini lp remastered 2006 - uicy-93031-32).
Some more facts about the 2cd album "Hot Rocks 1964-1971": the European and the Japanese releases each have 16 songs in stereo and 5 in mono. The US ABKCO release has the same songs, but only 11 songs are stereo (one is narrow stereo) and 10 songs are mono (one is even off-centered mono)(wow, how low can an sound engineer sink).
And very much different is the mix on some releases of the album "Hot Rocks 1" (1985 London remaster 820 141-2), which has a fade in, yes, a fade in !!! That sound engineer needs a shrink. It has Brian Jones on guitar at the right channel (Brian is always on the right channel ;-) together with the piano (very clearly audible)(even the false note at 1.36 * ). On the left channel are Keith Richards on fuzz guitar (playing the riffs), Charlie's drums, Bill's bass and the tambourine. Mick Jagger's vocals are centered. The fade out of this mix is about three seconds longer!
But there's more to tell about "The Rolling Stones - Hot Rocks 1" London 820 141-2. The West German second release has "Satisfaction" wrongly labeled as MONO, but it really is stereo. Same goes for "Time is on my side", "Play with fire", "Get off of my cloud"... they are also labeled mono, but they are in true stereo on the cd.
There are more issues with this album 820 141-2: there is a French release (German third manufacture) that has the FIRST second only of "Heart of stone" in stereo and the rest of the song jumps to mono, while labeled stereo; "Mother's little helper" is also labeled stereo, but it is MONO. Even "Paint it, black", labeled as stereo, is mono!
It looks like some people really should not release Rolling Stones cd's on a monday. What a mess.
I also read somewhere that the US releases of "Hot Rocks" have all the songs in mono or processed (fake) stereo. Unbelievable.
Some people who complained about all these stupidies and about the second German true stereo release not being available anymore got the answer: if you bought one, enjoy the mistake, it will never be released again ("the Hot Rocks 1" with only two songs in mono and the rest (ten songs) in stereo). What a bunch of losers. Is that how you treat your customers? To "celebrate" these loser's attitude: if you want you can DOWNLOAD the album here, where only "As tears go by" and "19th nervous breakdown" are mono. The rest is true stereo. You must be fast, for I think this link will be disabled after some time.

NO WORRIES about the standard virus message, it's completely safe, stupid Google always gives that message (as if any virus would reside on their server parks)(assholes).
* in this video you can only very faintly hear the false note at 1.37
