I too always loved the end of this song (as well as just the whole song generally)...there's just something about the way it fades out the last thirty/forty seconds, such an easygoing trailing off just before the manic, over-the-top cover to "Let's Spend The Night Together"...the last 30-45 seconds or so of "Prettiest" are like being taken by the hand and strolled/escorted ever so lightly to the edge of a precipice which leads to a sharp, abrupt, very vertical drop to the next track on the album (again, the nutty cover to Jagger/Richards).
