Agree 100%, and my favorite as well off the SG Deluxe. This one has so many classic Stones elements ... a deliciously bluesy, devil-may-care attitude, gloriously raunchy guitars and harp, sparkling drumming from Charlie, and a fabulous, preening performance by Mr Jagger (vastly improved from the original "Some People Tell Me" vocals). I love how he challenges the band to keep up with him, and they get their asses in gear and do just that.
The best part of all is how he pronounces "butt". A normal singer would have lacked the imagination and sense of humor to come up with the inflection he uses here, but Mick transforms the ordinary into the extraordinary with just this little twist. He does the same later with "that'll be me". This is what sets the Stones apart from everybody else.

The original is miles and miles better. The duelling by Richards and Wood is fantastic, and Jagger's growling voice is one of his best blues vocals ever. Shame they really butchered the original version.

So, they re-recorded the track completely for the some girls reissue?

Not unless Bill came back in the group. They had to have used elements from the past. I don't think Charlie has had anything to do with these 'brushups' of old tracks.
