Hey you guys, I just bought the 12" version of Miss You.
I got in the in mail today and it turns out that it is a sealed copy.

My question: Should I open so I can play it and enjoy it or just collect because it's sealed?

Keep it and buy another one. It`s easy to get and not that expensive. But remember: there is nothing that beats this fat 12" sound. Best sound you can get.

If you got girls out there....play it!

I guess I could just buy another one later on in life...

Buy yeah, I own every Stones album on vinyl. CDs suck big time.

There is something special about the vinyl sound... but to say that "cds suck big time" is pretty exaggerated. I remember the first time I heard a new cd... I was amazed at the crystal clear sound, no hiss, etc. Now we hear the crackles of an old LP and get nostalgic, but remember, those crackles and hisses were once a menace. There is a warmth to the sound of a good record, but I must admit I definitely enjoy hearing all the highs and lows and the crispness of a well-produced modern recording... even a smartly remastered old recording. I like being able to hear what I couldn't hear before. I think the cd is the best medium technology has been able to give us. I miss LP artwork, but I think LP sound is more or less reproducible on cd. Anything lost is so minimal as to be barely recognizable.

Nevertheless, I think that Miss You 12" is a gem... Keep it in good condition if you end up opening it and listening to it. I think records are meant to be listened to... If the difference in condition means you'll miss out on a few bucks if you plan to sell it someday, then keep it wrapped, but what's the point if you're not going to sell it? I say listen and enjoy, just take good care of your treasure! Good find; congrats.

All very good points!! Well said.

Does it have the picture sleeve? Pink vinyl? If so, I'd leave it sealed and find a copy w/out the picture sleeve on black vinyl -- it's more common and it will actually sound better if you wanna play it.

Sealed does not necessarily mean that it's new. You can re-seal a used record. I would open it and see if it's really new. But that's my personal opinion, you may prefer to leave it sealed.

It's not worth anything if you don't enjoy it at some point. Then again, it is Miss You and that mix is on other things.

I bought the pink one in 1978 - I've played it many times and enjoyed fully.

Any one heard this extended mix before?




Gimme Shelter

For sure someone did some editing on the multi track that was posted awhile back by akgameboy

Have a copy as well on pink vinyl with Far Away Eyes on the flip. Great track and sounds so much more warm and heavier on vinyl!! Great groove and brought the Stones back to the top when punks were trying to punk them...."no one can out punk Keith".

Can someone post the lyrics for the extended version of miss you plz?
