...and Miss You is on the set list for the (now ended) concert in Edinburgh tonight. Amazing in itself.

The song and album of my transition from elementary to high school.

Aside from some great music, the album cover was also memorable.

The album cover for Some Girls was conceived and designed by Peter Corriston, who would design the next three album covers with Illustrations by Hubert Kretzschmar[. An elaborate die-cut design, with the colours on the sleeves varying in different markets, it featured the Rolling Stones' faces alongside those of select female celebrities inserted into a copy of an old Valmor Products Corporation advertisement. The cover design was challenged legally when Lucille Ball, Farrah Fawcett, Liza Minnelli (representing her mother Judy Garland), Raquel Welch, and the estate of Marilyn Monroe threatened to sue for the use of their likenesses without permission. Similarly, Valmor did take legal action and were given a monetary award for the use of their design.

The album was quickly re-issued with a redesigned cover that removed all the celebrities, whether they had complained or not. The celebrity images were replaced with black and punk style garish colours with the phrase Pardon our appearance – cover under re-construction. Jagger later apologised to Minnelli when he encountered her during a party at the famous discothèque Studio 54. The only celebrity whose face was not removed was ex-Beatle George Harrison. As with the original design, the colour schemes on the redesigned sleeves varied in different markets.

This album kicks ass. 40 years? Damn it, I remember it clearly.

This particular song is really good but got very little airplay even on AOR.

I read an article once about songs whose lyrics are mis-heard and one of the ones mentioned was on this album. Instead of hearing "I'll never be your beast of burden" some people heard "I'll never be your pizza burnin'."
