Like other posters here I hadn't heard it before--because unless you bought the 45 at the time, how would you have even known about it?
I suspect Mick wrote it around the same time as he wrote Winter, because after about the 3-minute mark the song reminds me of the playout to Winter, the same sort of vocal intonations and vaguely the same melody. But the playout of Winter is far more effective, whereas this song sounds derivative.
It's not a terrible song, but it just doesn't distinguish itself as anything more than generic, though it fulfills the purpose that a B-side should.
But I can see why it never made it as an album track. Had this been included on Tattoo You, it would have been cited as that album's one weak point.

It was on 'Rarities' in 2005.

I own a copy of Rarities, so I have actually heard it before--a testament to the flatness of the song, at least for me.

I think it's a fine song, but I think people way oversell it. It is in no way their best ballad, I'm sure wouldn't crack the top ten.

Come on Mathijs , it is a great 70's Stones track , better than a lot of material that is on Goats Head Soup or It's only Rock n Roll albums... Love Keith's wah wah (that's Keith right?) guitar and has a great outtro ... very underrated.
