This was the first single released from the group’s 1980 album “Emotional Resque” (US albums #1, UK albums #1). Also, this was their first single in almost 20 months, since “Shattered”.
The flip is a more bluesy & rootsy track, but the title song is not a very typical Rolling Stones song. Maybe that’s why the single didn’t do well in the Nordic countries.
List price: Very Good+ is $2, Near Mint is $4, same pricing for picture sleeves.
