Interesting thing. I just bought Mixed Emotions 7” single. When I tried to play it, the needle jumped like crazy on it. I’ve heard that if a vinyl is too brickwalled the needle won’t stay on the tracks properly, but I’ve never seen one before. The single is unplayable. Anybody else got this single and noticed the same?

I do not know if anyone pointed out that this is an open G song with minor chords. Not many Stones open G songs have minor chords. It also has a key change in it. Also something not done many times by the Stones.

There is no key change in Mixed Emotions. It stays in D the entire time with exception to the bridge.
You're confusing modulation for key change, and neither happens in Mixed Emotions. I can't think of any Stones songs that modulate or have a key change. EDIT: you mentioned Dear Doctor. LOL - that's funny. As soon as I read it I literally laughed out loud. Are there any others? I can't think of any.
A lot of bridges. Hey Negrita... Mixed Emotions, Sad Sad Sad, Shattered, there are MANY songs with bridges.

I bought the CBS/Columbia single when it came out in 1989 (because of the B side), and I have never had any problem playing it. At the time there was no brickwalling yet.

Strange. I wonder what’s the case then. Never seen the needle jumping so wild on a vinyl.

It's not a bad track. I like the sharp guitars in the intro. I don't think it has the quality for a first single though. Which it was.
It's more of a filler than a hit. If someone understands what I'm talking about?

Perhaps. To me it has a hit chorus, but the verses are filler. I like it, though.

For about 5 seconds in Sweet Neocon there is a key change, when they play the "riff"

I am sure you are correct. On dear doctor there is a key change. At least that’s how I play it. I play it in E then it changes to A. I think, lol

How can you modulate without changing the key you're in, I ask.

SomeGuy
Modulating involves a key change or else it isn't a modulation. This is not to say that you can't turn back into the original key of course.

It's a single. It's definitely better than a B side. It fits with what it applies to, their comeback in 1989. Not that memorable now. For god's sake, they have worse singles. Don't Stop. Highwire. She Was Hot. Mixed Emotions is head and shoulders above those A sides.

She Was Hot doesn't belong in that list. That's GREAT single.

I second that! She Was Hot is an excellent song! Had they not released the thundering UOTN first perhaps She Was Hot would've had a bit more success. Maybe edited to be a little shorter but fantastic regardless.

To me both "She Was Hot" and "Highwire" are great songs, whereas "Mixed Emotions", considered up against their career, is a rather moderate song from a moderate album.
[ Whether the only outright great song on STEEL WHEELS, "Continental Drift", might have become something approaching a hit, if released as a single, I really am uncertain about. ]

I like the chorus, very melodic and almost ABBA-esque.
