Some Girls introduced a whole new generation to the music of the Stones. The infectious dance groove of Miss You topped the US charts, as did the album in 1978. Both releases also made the Top 3 in the UK, where the country-flavoured Far Away Eyes, featuring Ronnie Wood on pedal steel guitar, enjoyed substantial airplay. Respectable, the follow-up single in Britain, proved that they could match the punks they had influenced so much. The US market preferred the mid-tempo Beast of Burden which went Top Ten there. A cover of The Temptations' Just My Imagination (Running Away With Me), the driving When The Whip Comes Down, Keith Richards' vocal turn on Before They Make Me Run and the urgent Shattered - a US Top 30 single - make this a must-have album, which has already sold over 6 million copies worldwide, and still provides the group with concert highlights 30 years on. Peter Corriston's striking cover design, controversial at the time, remains a classic.
Some Girls- In what was, as Jagger put it, “...an answer to the strengthening popularity of punk rock...”, this Grammy®-nominated LP with songs like When the Whip Comes Down, Respectable, and Shattered provided fans with a taste of "Stones Punk." Including Keef’s excellent Before They Make Me Run, this album was a reflection of their most impressive recording sessions in some time. The Stones covered a Temptations song for the third time with the inclusion of Just My Imagination (running away with me).
In what would be their most recent single to reach #1 in the US, Miss You successfully broke the Stones into the dance music charts without compromising their premiere rock status. There are over a half-dozen variations of this album’s cover (most common of which is featured in the center), including the highly sought after first pressing which, after protests from Sophia Loren and Lucille Ball regarding their respective featured likeness, was pulled from the shelves. The original album cover concept was that of Peter Corriston's, whom would also provide the Stones with their Undercover peel-off sticker jacket in 1983.
