What a great version of Miss You. Love the slash and burn guitars. Is this mostly Keith? Can someone please tell me where this Miss You comes from? Thanks!

For about three years disco ruled and made most current rock music at the time sound pale and colourless and boring. I suppose that rock music is in dire straights again.

I had no idea that Billy Preston inspired the bass line.
Why wasn't this version released on the Some Girls Deluxe Edition? Or the Super Deluxe Edition for that matter, which had a bunch of extra material that added no value to the two-disc-version?
So much hot stuff could have been released from this period... This was the last truly great time for the Stones as songwriting is concerned.
It's interesting how you can't get tired of listening to this 11-minute-version. I always wondered why this works so well, while the concert versions starting 1989 just tend to drag on and on... I know that for many Miss You is a highlight of the recent shows. Still the original version is so groovy and so tight!
Classic Stones!
You don't go out like you used to!

Is this 11.42 minute version available on a boot?
So true. It's easy to take for granted 40 years later, and I know a lot of fans are ambivalent about it (especially live) but this is a damned inspired song.Quote

We're so used to this song now, but when you think about it, it's impressive how "right" they got everything in it. The catchy chords and melodies, super hip disco bass line, 4 on the floor rhythm and electric piano, and with a great romanic Jagger lyrics, while not sacrificing any of the Rolling Stones style. No wonder it became a hit and a warhorse. And no wonder it fared way better than any of the funk and soul on Goats, IORR and Black And Blue.

I think some of the DNA of Miss You is in this song:

Brother Louie buy The Stories. It's smoking. I remember it as one of the biggest songs on Top-40 radio in the summer of 1972.
The comments for the clip say that this is the original by Hot Chocolate:

I always thought The Stories did the original but I could easily be wrong. The Hot Chocolate version is dark and swampy.
It would be really cool if it really did inspire Mick and Keith, you never know!
