album review artist: the Rolling Stones some girls delux edition five stars universal republic authors purpose I really like girls an awful lot," [|Mick Jagger] confided to //Rolling Stone// in 1978. "And I don’t think I’d say anything really nasty about any of them." And yet the eternal kick of //Some Girls// is that Mick has a deliciously nasty word or two for everybody. Just when the [|Stones] seemed to be fading away, they shadoobied back to life with some of their toughest songs ever: the punk sleaze of "Shattered," the soulful Keithness of "Beast of Burden," the late-night-disco desolation of the chart-topping "Miss You." The result was the Rolling Stones' funniest, trashiest, bitchiest LP – an all-time classic that remains their biggest- selling record. The //Some Girls// sessions were famously productive – mostly just the five Stones and engineer Chris Kimsey holed up in a Paris studio cutting dozens of songs. Some of the leftovers landed on later albums – see "Hang Fire" or "Black Limousine," both of which resurfaced on //Tattoo You// – while others were unfinished until now. The outtakes get refurbished with guitar overdubs and Mick's new vocals. But as on last year's //Exile on Main St.// reissue, the touch-ups usually improve bootleg versions – see "No Spare Parts," a twang-soul truck-stop reverie that finally gets the full-on Mick vocal it always deserved.

You can hear Mick and Keith rediscover their Glimmer Twins chemistry, whether it's a blues groove like "When You're Gone" or a romp through the rockabilly chestnut "Tallahassee Lassie." (And this is just a taste of the treasures still in the vault – where the hell is "Fiji Jim"?) The whole package catches the Stones on a roll, thriving on the punk and funk energy in the air, with Mick driving the music and playing more guitar than ever. It's the ultimate version of the album that invented the Stones we've known ever since: mean, vital, gloriously unrepentant.
