Hit: 5 Stars
The remastering job on The Rolling Stones' Some Girls album produces a noticeably superior sound with guitars, vocals, bass and more sounding clearer and sharper than ever; we finally get a REALLY good idea of what The Stones actually sounded like when they recorded these songs. I love the music on this album; The Rolling Stones demonstrate that they could do a variety of songs and make every one of them sound great! The Stones had very productive recording sessions for this album; and this shows in the high quality control music that we get. The artwork is good even if it's not what was the band originally wanted.
Mick Jagger sings "Miss You" so darn well I'm convinced nobody could have sung it better than he did; his vocals are brought out really well by the remastering job. This disco influenced style of rock music goes just right with his singing and it makes "Miss You" a very strong opening tune for this album. Jagger and the band bat this straight out of the ballpark; the now extra clear, sharp percussion marks the beat really well. "When the Whip Comes Down" has a distinctly rock flavor to it; this rocks hard and The Rolling Stones deliver this with gusto--to say the least! The music again fits in quite well with the lyrics and that's awesome.
"Just My Imagination (Running Away with Me)" is a shining example of just how well The Stones could cover a song; they sing this one with heart and soul and they never let go of a superfluous note! Mick Jagger in particular has the perfect voice for this tune; and the guitar work enhances this remastered ballad even more. "Just My Imagination (Running Away with Me)" is a fine example of a rock band covering a tune that certainly wasn't rock when I heard it done by The Temptations!
"Some Girls," is, of course, the title track and it features an excellent arrangement for guitar. In addition, "Far Away Eyes" has a fine country flavor; when The Stones perform this they totally amaze me with their incredible sense of timing and their flawless delivery. "Far Away Eyes" is one of my favorite songs on this album.
"Respectable" features some mighty outstanding, bluesy "wailing;" but the element of rock is unmistakable and the combination of the bluesy flavor with the hard rock element hold this all together very well. "Beast Of Burden" is one of their best hits ever; "Beast Of Burden" has a fine arrangement and Mick Jagger's singing on this remastered, extra clear track proves he can pull it all off without a hitch. Those backup vocals aren't too shabby, either! The album ends strong with The Rolling Stones performing the fierce, punk rock number "Shattered" which was a huge hit for them; it remains one of their best songs to this day.
Overall, the excellent remastering of Some Girls by The Rolling Stones gives us a lot to enjoy. The music is outstanding and, especially with the remastering, this is nothing short of a brilliant work of art. I highly recommend this for fans of The Stones and people who like bands similar to The Rolling Stones. In addition, this CD is a great place to start if you're just getting to know the timeless artistry of The Rolling Stones.
Some Girls Poster
Some Girls introduced a whole new generation to the music of the Stones. The infectious dance groove of Miss You topped the US charts, as did the album in 1978. Both releases also made the Top 3 in the UK, where the country-flavoured Far Away Eyes, featuring Ronnie Wood on pedal steel guitar, enjoyed substantial airplay. Respectable, the follow-up single in Britain, proved that they could match the punks they had influenced so much. The US market preferred the mid-tempo Beast of Burden which went Top Ten there. A cover of The Temptations' Just My Imagination (Running Away With Me), the driving When The Whip Comes Down, Keith Richards' vocal turn on Before They Make Me Run and the urgent Shattered - a US Top 30 single - make this a must-have album, which has already sold over 6 million copies worldwide, and still provides the group with concert highlights 30 years on. Peter Corriston's striking cover design, controversial at the time, remains a classic.Classic Rock Music CDs
