ROCKS OFF - The Rolling Stones Message Board

Jeep Rocks Off Regular Offline Posts: 281 Frogland Gender:	Some Girls : 30 years ! Jun 8^th, 2008 at 10:24am June, 9th 1978. Release date of Some Girls album. It was thirty years ago ! My first Rolling Stones LP (just owned some K7 before this purchase). The last "classic" album of the band, as important as Sticky Fingers, Let it Bleed or Aftermath. Of course Tattoo You was a classic one, but not really an album, it was like an outtakes best of.

Ditto The Stones album that made me a fan. Maybe its sentimental reasons which see it edge Sticky Fingers as my 2nd fave Stones album, but it still holds up brilliantly three decades on.

great great record for me indeed. i just wish i had the origional record cover because i heard if it is in good shape it could fetch up to 4-5 g's...i used to play this on record over and over and had to buy extra copies. i mush have burned thru 4-5 of these. i think they changed the origional cover shortly afterwards... same art work but with different colors

i still listen to it.....when the whip comes down is a cranker....especially when your speeding down the thruway.

Are you fucking serious?

I've the original and I would doubt that very much, to be honest. Considering the shitloads it sold before they were forced to change it.

They didnt change the colours and keep the artwork - the whole point of the change was that some of the featured celebrities demanded that their images be removed or altered.

the classic rock station here in poughkeepsie had this record collector guy on a few years back and that was what he quoted and this is why i say this. i bet if it had the origional cover and shrink wrap and the little round red sticker on it that reads 6.99, i wouldn't doubt it.

It's a very good record, but I'm not going to pretend that its one of my absolute favourites. Its their 4th best 70's album, IMO, yet perhaps, the best Ronnie era release alongside the superior Tattoo You.

I don't know what it is really that stops me from fully embracing a record that so many here love so much. I think that perhaps the songs don't quite grab me as they perhaps should. The late 1970's is hardly a favourite music period for me anyway. I own very few records from the end of that decade.

You make Joey very sad .

Punk Rock kicked both ' The Rolling Stones ' AND ' The Who ' up the arse and as a result both bands produced some of their finest work in a long time :

Some Girls is great and make me a Stones fan at my early years, is some of a come back album IMHO. But still not the best ..

Me too.

Quote:

Well, I've been haunted in my sleep
You've been starring in my dreams
Lord I miss you
I've been waiting in the hall
Been waiting on your call
When the phone rings
It's just some friends of mine that say,
"Hey, what's the matter man?
We're gonna come around at twelve
With some Puerto Rican girls that are just dyin' to meet you.
We're gonna bring a case of wine
Hey, let's go mess and fool around
You know, like we used to"

God I love that song, and I love this album. Thirty years? I can't believe it. I was a teen back then. This was when I fell in love with the Stones.

spooky?

In the cool of the evening
When everything is gettin kind of groovy
I call you up and ask you if you
Would you like to go with me and see a movie
First you say no, you've got some plans for the night
And then you stop, and say, all right
Love is kinda crazy with a spooky little girl like you

You always keep me guessin
I never seem to know what you are thinkin
And if a fella looks at you
It's for sure your little eye will be a-winkin
I get confused, cause I don't know where I stand
And then you smile, and hold my hand
Love is kinda crazy with a spooky little girl like you
Spooky

If you decide someday to stop this little game that you are playin
I'm gonna tell you all what my heart's been a-dyin to be sayin
Just like a ghost, you've been a-hauntin my dreams
So I'll propose on Halloween
Love is kinda crazy with a spooky little girl like you

Spooky, spooky, oh whoa, all right
Spooky, oh yea yea
I said Spooky yea yea

The best drum sound on any rock album ever. Great, cohesive LP thematically, absolutely essential to the Stones myth of eternal rebirth and relevance.

I will be more than happy to sell my original for four or five grand if anyone's buying. But more likely you'd just want to go ahead and pick, say, this one up.
