I'm wondering, the vocals on No spare parts does nok sound like the rest of the original Some Girls vocals. Is it new like Plundered my soul?

Of course, but not as bad as on PMS, imo.

it's a mathematical proposition. the modern vocals will sound proportionately better as determined by the era of the song for which he's doing the overdubs. 1972 v. 1978? that's about a 14% improvement if you figure one song is roughly 40 years old and the other about 33 years old. rocknroll is always best analyzed through modern mathematics.

Thank you StonesTod - you're absolutely right, who cares for heart, sould and a good pair of ears as long as there is something like modern mathematics

After the deluxe edition of Exile, a month after the release of Superheavy and now that I finally heard "No Spare Parts" I'm really impressed by the exceptional work of Mick Jagger. I'm really looking forward to the release of SG and I won't mind even if Mick re-recorded all the vocals as long as the finished product is as good as the Exile bonus-disc or No Spare Parts.

I had a quick listen.
Near the end the main voice is the overdub, but I thought some of the background vocals may be from 1978. At some point I thought I heard two jaggers: one from 1978 and one from 2011.

omg. i knew that they've been making scientific break-thrus with the physical laws of the space and time continuum, but this is really ground-breaking if true.

please refresh my memory...

Did the song that became PLUNDERED MY SOUL have any lyrics or vocals before
Mick added to it before the deluxe release? Or was it an instrumental only?

It was well done and well received.

NO SPARE PARTS is being received well too but the old vs. new vocals is an issue for some.

My point? I don't know...i guess I'm wondering if NO SPARE PARTS is at a disadvantage
because there is something previously recorded to compare it to. Better to judge
the 2011 NO SPARE PARTS on its own merits. Personally I like the 2011 version better.

Last night i finally had a chance to listen to most of the "new" Some Girls songs as they
appeared on bootlegs (& are currently on YouTube) and am very optimistic. Originally was
hoping for a bunch of rockers that mirrored SOME GIRLS '78 but i'm liking the country feel
on many of the "new" songs.

definitely 2 jaggers...question is whether they are both 2011 jaggers.
my gut feeling is old & new jagger.

The first guitar bit sounds a lot like Ronnies sound on the I feel like playing album. Also new?

Right on. Let's analyze it to death. Cheers

Don't have a clue if the acoustic is old or new.

Sounds like the vocal is new, especially the 'baby' part - way different than the original vocal. Overall though I think it's pretty damn good regardless of the whens.

This story claims that the vocals aren't new!

Let's drink to the hard working people

sounds like new vocals to me...

I'm not really analyzing it, or at least not for anything else that I'm curious.....
