Album Description: 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.
Album Description: Digitally remastered reissue of the veteran British Rock band's 1978 album. 10 tracks including 'Miss You', 'Beast Of Burden' and 'Shattered'.

4 Times the Charm
This is the 4th time I've purchased this album starting with the original release so yeah I guess I like it (and those who "borrow" it from me really like it too). Early on the Stones were criticized for being derivative in their concept albums - trying to keep up with the Beatles or the latest trends. This album is simply, uniquely the Stones. All their influences are here but they've been fully Stonesified. This album is a seemingly effortless classic. Excellent!
