Part excavated original outtakes, part recently completed in 2011 by Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, and Don Was, this bonus disc plays like a complete, coherent companion to the original album, touching upon the same sleaze, down-and-dirty boogie, citified country, and blues as the original. Hardcore Stones collectors know that this isn’t entirely true - “Claudine,” a nasty near-libelous three-chord boogie about Claudine Longet’s shooting of her boyfriend Spider Sabich, frequently circulated on bootlegs - but it didn’t seem like there would be enough completed unheard material to fill out the 12-track bonus disc included in this 2011 Deluxe Edition. The joke goes like this: all the bonus material for Some Girls wound up on Emotional Rescue and Tattoo You, the two records that succeeded it, both heavily reliant on tracks started during the Some Girls sessions. Some Girls may not have the backstreet aggression of their '60s records or the majestic, drugged-out murk of their early-'70s work, but its brand of glitzy, decadent hard rock still makes it a definitive Stones album. Using "Star Star" as a template, the Stones run through the seedy homosexual imagery of "When the Whip Comes Down," the bizarre, borderline-misogynistic vitriol of the title track, Keith's ultimate outlaw anthem, "Before They Make Me Run," and the decadent closer, "Shattered." In between, they deconstruct the Temptations' "(Just My) Imagination," unleash the devastatingly snide country parody "Far Away Eyes," and contribute "Beast of Burden," one of their very best ballads. Instead, their rockers sound harder and nastier than they have in years.
Even though the Stones make disco their own, they never quite take punk on their own ground.

Opening with the disco-blues thump of "Miss You," Some Girls is a tough, focused, and exciting record, full of more hooks and energy than any Stones record since Exile on Main St. By 1978, both punk and disco had swept the group off the front pages, and Some Girls was their fiery response to the younger generation. During the mid-'70s, the Rolling Stones remained massively popular, but their records suffered from Jagger's fascination with celebrity and Keith's worsening drug habit.
