When I said I would take the Some Girls bonus tracks over the original I wasn't kidding. I am still not kidding! Can't get enough of it! It's easily become my favorite Stones album of all time! Don't Be A Stranger is my favorite Stones song at the moment. Wish they would do it live.

I agree, there is some great stuff on there. I know it made an impression on my friends who are Stones fans but also ones who aren't - and it's been forever since that happened. Definitely plan on listening to it for many years to come.

Don't Be A Stranger gives me goosebumps! I think this song could heal the sick! Raise the dead! Or make a dead man........

It's hard to put into words, but this album just makes me feel so damn good all over.

Claudine is awesome!

I am glad I am not the only one who loves this disc. It's a great album by itself. There's not one bad song. They are all awesome. I played it constantly and I still think of those songs regularly since it came out. Its a classic album on its own. In an ideal world, this would have been number one by itself since it's truly that great. So Young is such a great classic Stones rocker. Don't Be A Stranger is great too.

Hearing others feel as I do concerning this "masterpiece" fills my heart with great joy! I am listening to it as we speak.

I was going to call it a masterpiece myself! :-)

Always willing to accept!

If anyone wants the bootleg LP (looks like the real deal) that was mentioned a few times here before, they have it at Amoeba in San Fran, almost picked it up myself but got UC with stickers instead and the 10" D&G...

I don't know, when my mouth gets rolling it's hard to say where the words come from!

Damn, would I ever like to see an entire concert devoted to the Some Girls and the Some Girls bonus tracks!

Mick, please do Don't Be A Stranger, Spare Parts, and Claudine on the upcoming leg of the 50 and counting tour! Please!

And, You Win Again!

I partially agree. It's a good album but they have left out the best outtakes from that period: 'Fiji Jim', 'Misty Roads', 'I Need You', 'Not the way to go', 'Lonely at the top' (Mick's awful solo version doesn't count!)....

Love You Too Much! Another classic!

Almost forgot: Keep Up Blues! And Do You Think I Really Care!

Keep up blues? I prefer the original, 'Some people tell me'! Guitars on fire!

They should few songs live,Love you too much and don´t be a stranger

Listened to it again,many times, the past few months.

Great Great stuff. Certainly, the bonus disc songs are a masterpiece. although i like the original outtake of Claudine better.

Have you guys heard the "Too Young" piano version?

Some Girl out takes are the best collection of anything they have put out since Some Girls.....what a prolific period...and to think there is even more from that period that they could mine...special.

Do You Think I Really Care is one og my favorite songs.

Yeah Open Up the Vaults from that period. Sorry Mick, release EVERYHTING from the Vaults!!! that way you can forget about recording a new album, and still get your money .

The deluxe bonus tracks are excellent.

They really deserved their own release in some way, to perhaps have gotten more profile.

I have been listening to this CD, specifially the bonus tracks more than any other Stones record in my house since that came out. My particular favorite is Do You Think I Really Care. God, that one has grown on me.

Bought meself a bunch of vinyl last weekend, include an extremely good copy of a Hank Williams greatest hits album.

I was not expecting 'You Win Again', what a pleasant surprise. I didn't know he had covered the Rolling Stones.

He did a very faithful to the original cover!
