Amongst many eagerly-awaited extras, the Super-Deluxe edition of 'Some Girls' includes special packaging, 100-page hardback book, two CDs, a DVD, a stunning, previously unseen Helmut Newton photo session from 1978, an essay by esteemed author and journalist Anthony DeCurtis (putting the album in its cultural context), and a 7" single of "Beast Of Burden" / "When The Whip Comes Down" in its banned sleeve.
'Some Girls' is the groundbreaking album which introduced the music of the Rolling Stones to a whole new generation of fans. Justly considered one of the finest works by Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts, Bill Wyman and Ronnie Wood, 'Some Girls' topped the US charts over three decades ago and remains the best selling album of their storied career.
This new package includes some undiscovered gems that include tracks that have recently been unearthed from the Rolling Stones vaults by producer Don Was.
'Some Girls' holds a special place in the history of the Rolling Stones and demonstrates why they remain one of the most thrilling and influential bands of all time. The 1978 album features a Keith Richards' classic "Before They Make Me Run", a signature song he stills performs defiantly to this day. 'Some Girls' documented Mick Jagger's love of 70s funk reflected in "Miss You", the dance track that wrongfooted many people, made the club and urban charts, and made it okay for other mainstream acts at the time to 'go disco'.
Thirty-three years on from its original release, the re-mastered, expanded, Super Deluxe edition of 'Some Girls' shows 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. 'Some Girls' - now bigger, brighter and better than ever.
