So it seems the great Everyting Is Turning To Gold is left off Some Girls Deluxe. I really like the song and think it's a missed chance.

I've tried to come up with some possible reasons:
1. They don't even know it's the non-album b-side from Shattered.
2. They don't think it's a good enough song which is why they left it off Some Girls in the first place.
3. They don't want to stop Sucking In The Seventies from selling huge amounts.
4. They want to include it in a future Tattoo You Deluxe with leftovers from '73-'81.
5. Don't worry, it's a hidden bonus track on Some Girls Deluxe!
6. Other reason?

What do you think? Like to hear your opinions.

They don't wanna fuel Ronnie's (fill-in-the-blank) habit du jour.

(Seriously I love the song.)

The reason is fans and forums. You know, -Whining little tourist who moan all the time, Too many would complain " Why is there a song, we already have, this really sucks, they are re-releasing old songs, dont they know we already have it, boo-hoo"...

It's been released before but yes, it should have been there as it's one of the best songs they recorded in the late 70s.

yes very good song indeed
I like the bridge

I'd find more reasons to argue if it were included!

Tis a shame. They could have put the nine minute version on. It is great!

Because its so incredible and awesome that it must be kept secret - for only the very few discerning and motivated fanatics to discover. A buried treasure.

Maybe Don Was will give an interview after SG deluxe is released and provide us with some details about his track selection for the outtakes and if there were any other tracks considered.

What's the problem here? The song is on Sucking In The 70's. That's enough.

Yes it's easy to find Everything Is Turning To Gold. Not at all a big loss for us that it's not a part of the Some Girls deluxe edition

It's different with "So Young" as it has never been released on an album, only as a CD single; which means that a lot of people yet don't have that track

It would have been nice to have one of the other unedited Everything Is Turning To Gold-versions in full quality, though.

Yes that would had been nice. Same goes for other Some Girls era songs like When The Whip Comes Down, Miss You and Some Girls. But no surprise that they didn't release such "jams" - as it would "bore" people - in their eyes

The eight track mixes of Miss You, Far Away Eyes, Shattered and BOB are conspicuously absent as well. Also the promo mix of Before They Make Me Run and the "dance mix" of Miss You which is the second longest recording in the Stones canon. A sampling of live audio NOT derived from the Ft Worth DVD would be likwise welcome. Reproductions of record sleeves, new graphic pieces derived from old artwork and promo DVDs are no substitution for real music.

Think it's possible that Miss You has had the most releases? Sometimes it seems Everything Is Turning To Gold has had more than three releases but it hasn't - the B-side to Shattered, Sucking In The Seventies and Flashpoint+Collectibles. Maybe Mick figured it didn't need more vocals like So Young did for some reason.

Sure, EITTG has been available on several compendiums but it's still an integral part of SOME GIRLS. Hell, it's not like there isn't room.

they need something "new" when the reissue the Some Girls Deluxe in 5 or 10 yrs.
something to get all of us to buy it again...it will also include Misty Road & Fiji Jim.


IORR............but I like it!

umm...if it's really that important...and it's not...you just burn it onto your own version of the album. sheesh....such whiners...

Well it is a Some Girls b-side & the only one. Deluxe editions by other bands (actually I was just browsing ELO deluxe editions last night) almost always contain the bsides from that album, even if on other compilations. It is not that hard to fit a 13th track on the disc, there's really no arguing, I'm sure they simply don't know enough about Stones history to have even thought of including it - if they did it would be on there.

Eggcellent point, I wasn't even thinking about those tracks myself, but that would have made this far more worthwhile, they should be on a separate disc.

Pete 66 some of your interpretations are plausible, but apart from the fact that point 1 “they don’t even know it’s the non-album b-side from Shattered” could also turn into “they do know that it’s the b-side from Shattered” (and it’s included in Sucking in the 70’s, as already mentioned by other posters), what intrigues me is your point 4:
“They want to include it in a future Tattoo You Deluxe with leftovers from ’73-’81” …
Now, I´m a quite faithful (indulgent?) fan / purchaser, I bought all the recent “not new Stones stuff” and “Stones related material” as the Exile CD + outtakes and Super Heavy, in a general way I’m satisfied, and I’m gonna buy the Some Girls special edition; but if they won’t release anything new in the meanwhile and the next step will be a Tattoo You Deluxe, then they’d rather rename the song into: “Everything Is Turning To Gold, Even What We Are Scraping From The Bottom Of The Barrel”, which in terms of title´s length would beat Lennon’s “Everybody’s Got Something To Hide Except Me And My Monkey”. But hey, records are done to be passed by, have you seen surfer McNamara taming a 30 mt wave on the Portuguese beach of Nazaré yesterday?
* For the chronicle, in Greek Mythology Dionysus offered King Midas the gift of turning into gold everything he touched, but after a while Midas asked him to set him free from that gift since he couldn’t drink or eat anymore…

..and why not 'I need you', 'Misty Roads' and Fiji Jim'?!! Was will tell...

well zip mouth angel is also fantastic.....I mean the combinations are endless...the grandkids will have to release those.

No whining, just wondering why they left it off.
