Just a quick drive by here. Lotsa great stuff coming from the Rolling Stones these days. First (or as far back as I'm going...), the release of a DVD from a 1978 show in Dallas. The movie was shown in select theaters around the world and is now out there for purchase. I haven't gotten a chance to spy on it yet but it'll be a part of my library soon enough. Then, comes the release of a re-mastered 'Some Girls' next Monday. As is the custom from our favorite class rock artists these days, there will be multiple versions (although they don't get too outta hand on this one); the CD, a Deluxe version with a 2nd disc of out takes (note: they did this with the re-release of 'Exile on Main Street' as well, where most are basic tracks which Don Was picked out and the band fleshed them out and added new vocals on some as well), and a SUPER Deluxe version with said CD's, a DVD, a 100 page book, a picture sleeve 45 of "Beast of Burden" (which they sez is rare...), five postcards designed for the set, a poster (also designed for the set) and a photo from a never released photo session at the time of the album's release. I've never been in a position (or was that much of a sucker) to dive in on the super-duper-you-want-how-much-for-that? versions but, never say never. IT'S SOME GIRLS!!!! I was always a Stones fan of sorts growing up ('Let It Bleed' is part of my DNA) but when 'Some Girls' came out, it was absolutely lights out. While there's many many bigger Stones fans than myself, I've never met one. Oh, and also being released is a concert CD from a legendary show in Brussels from 1973. Many say 1972 was when the Stones peaked but, you may wanna give this on a listen. More on those later So, adios for now...
