The song is one of the additions to the forthcoming reissue of the 1978 album, due November 21.
The tune was premiered Thursday morning on BBC Radio 2, after years of being circulated on the bootleg market – check out the original version/mix here.
First recorded by Chris Kimsey in early 1978, the song was recently discovered by producer Don Was for inclusion on the new deluxe and super-deluxe editions of "Some Girls" (there's also a box set version coming).
“No Spare Parts” captures the daring and diverse spirit of the album’s legendary sessions. Recorded in Paris, the song tells the story of a trip from Los Angeles to San Antonio, TX featuring Mick Jagger on electric piano, Keith Richards on acoustic piano, Ron Wood on pedal steel guitar, Charlie Watts on drums and Bill Wyman on bass.
