Wasted cover. The Stones don't bring anything unique to the party. And nothing and no one would ever top the Temps' classic. I half suspect the Stones just needed to fill out the album.

most excellent (can't top the Temps : )
They like it so much that they covered the Temptations again on Some Girls with "Just My Imagination". If I had to pick just one then I'd keep "Just My Imagination". Really like the dualing guitars of Keith and Ronnie.

I really liked this album when it came out (I was in junior high school), and I can remember actually putting a quarter in a jukebox at the local pizza parlor to hear some of the singles from it. It still sounds just as good now as it did then.

Helluva combo with the Tops.

The Stones version is just the right amount of deference to the original, combined with their inimitable rock and roll swagger.
Maybe they're both 10s?! It is possible, you know.
Fun version, but Marvin Gaye makes this song Godlike.

Following the Four Tops. Outstanding.

Not necessary. They didn't bring very much to the song.

There was a decent mid-70's compilation released that included their best of the 70's (so far). But I always thought "Dance Little Sister" was the weakest part of it, and would have preferred they substituted the Motown cover. But then, they would have had to pay more royalties, and that would never fly.
