The Rolling Stones - Some Girls (Deluxe)
The Rolling Stones - In 1978, surrounded by the raucous punk movement, rising disco scene, funked out R+B and the last wobbley hi-heeled stagger of glam rock, the "worlds greatest rock band" released an album of self-renewal that is regarded as one of their most successful -- critically and commercially -- and is now ranked as the best-selling disc of the band's fifty (!) year career...The album spawned the #1 hit and dance club fave "Miss You" along with Stones classics "Shattered", "Beast of Burden" and "Respectable" // Release: Some Girls (Deluxe/Super Deluxe Editions, November 22) // What you get: Deluxe Double CD adds a second disc of a dozen outtakes, rarities and covers while the new expansive (and expensive: $150) super deluxe box edition adds a "Beast of Burden" vinyl single, DVD (three music videos, three live performances from Texas '78), hardcover book, postcards and photos...track listing below...
Quote: "I learned quite a lot from doing the tracks on Exile about how you do this without it being too much psychological damage.... The Exile ones seemed really quite old and even though this is just seven years later it was just more immediate to me in some ways. This album was so much of a piece while Exile was recorded over such a period of time, over maybe three years and different sessions." - Mick Jagger // What we like: More than any other Stones album up to that moment, Some Girls found the band taking in contemporary stylistic elements and working them into their own distinctive sound rooted in blues, country and rock-'n-roll...Keith Richards talks about Girls as a rejuvenating and defining moment for the band after some self-described "coasting" and it's obvious that the band felt that they had something to prove -- which, of course, they did...

I became a Rolling Stones fan when I was twelve years old. The song that did it was Honky Tonk Women. I was listening to AM radio and they played Jumpin' Jack Flash and Honky Tonk Women back to back, well those two songs together floored me. I took my paper route money down to Woolworth's and bought the LP. Later I bought the single because on the LP was a song called Country Honk instead of the single version . Anyway I fell in love with that LP and the band. In 1978 when Some Girls came out I was blown away again. I had heard Miss You on the radio and was amazed that the Stones were doing a "disco" song. Miss You was disco, but it also had that classic Stones sound and feel to it. When the album came out II only needed to listen to it one time to know that this was another GREAT Rolling Stones record. There was not a weak song on the whole damn LP. Now in 2011 I am preparing myself to be blown away one more time by this legendary Rock and Roll Band. I feel like I'm twelve again.
