Not this time Bub! This is the Stones at their best!

Mick, and Keith reaches down and touches our souls. I like this, how it rolls slowly, but mick 's voice——down a moonlight mile,  — lets do it! Yeah! Babbee!

Once hiked into the Desolation Wilderness in the Sierras with some good friends as a young dude - at night, in a full moon. This song and, for some reason, "Crow Black Chicken" by Ry Cooder ('Boomer's Story') were the internal sound track for me that night. I later put together a show on my college radio station trying to re-create the feel of that night. Used those 2 songs of course. Still have a tape of it around somewhere....  Always loved this song - withstands the test of time really well if you ask me.

Aw jeeze, I wanna have this album back!!!!!! My Mom and Dad took it away from me when I was a young pup!

This song is good for the ears...

This is the Mick Taylor influenced Stones. He was a great addition

If I'm not mistaken, the inner sleeve featured what appeared to be the same dude (Mick?) in only an unflattering pair of early seventies tightie-whiteys. No?

Don't get me started! 

A world without LP cover art.  How life has changed.

Hmmm, I didn't realize there was a "non-zipper" version. I worked in record stores back in the day, and this album always came with a piece of corrugated cardboard between the discs to prevent damage. If they removed the zipper, it would have been for financial reasons. This was probably one of the most expensive album covers to produce, along with Led Zep's lll & Physical Graffiti, The Who's Tommy, Yessongs, The Let it Be box with the photo boolket, and so on.

Am I the only one here who remembers owning the very first issue of this album; the one that actually had a real zipper on the front cover that was later removed from later issues because it (the metal zipper) was considered too risque?

   No, I still have a copy with the zipper...somewhere.  It would dent the back cover of album in front of it when stored on a shelf - we always joked that that's why they released "Jamming With Edward" shortly thereafter, to protect the next record.  I'm pretty sure Andy Warhol designed the cover for this LP.
