Release date: 02-10-2011 (originally released in 1978 )

2011 UK remastered limited 10-TRACK vinyl LP edition,pressing on 180gram vinyl.  Thirty-three years on from its original release, the re-mastered, expanded, Deluxe editions of Some Girls show why the 1978 album has often been hailed as the equal of Exile On Main Street. Some Girls is both a time capsule and a timeless listen. It features the band at their tightest and toughest, at their most vibrant and vital. It's an all-killer, no-filler, must-have album. It still packs a punch.

"Christ, Keith fuckin' gets busted every year," Mick Jagger fumed. Keith Richards was lost in drug hell, and the Stones were on the verge of destruction, but they bounced back with "Miss You," the sleazy "Shattered" and "When the Whip Comes Down." And Richards does his best song, "Before They Make Me Run."


With the advent of punk rock, The Rolling Stones, among many of their musical contemporaries, were being targeted by some in the movement as cultural dinosaurs, compromising their standing. Mick Jagger felt invigorated by the provocations and was determined to answer them lyrically. It helped, however, that almost all the punks had, openly or not, idolized the Stones in the 1960s and were heavily influenced by the band's rebellious records from that era.
At least as important for the band's reinvigoration was the addition of Ron Wood to the lineup, as Some Girls was the first album recorded with him as a full member. His guitar playing meshed seamlessly with that of Keith Richards, and what he lacked in virtuosity compared to his predecessor Mick Taylor he made up for in energy and dynamics; his pedal steel playing would become one of the band's hallmarks, and his unconventional uses of the instrument are prominent on Some Girls. In addition, Jagger, who had learned to play guitar over the previous decade, contributed a third guitar part to many songs. This gave nasty rockers like "Respectable" a three-guitar lineup that was as hard-driving as many punk bands.
