The 1978 album is getting the reissue treatment with its November 21st street date, but on Thursday, Stones fans will be able to get their hands on “No Spare Parts,” one of the tracks from the original sessions.
First recorded by Chris Kimsey in early 1978, the song is an unreleased track recently discovered by producer Don Was for inclusion on the deluxe and super-deluxe editions of "Some Girls."
“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.
The new version of the song made its debut on BBC Radio 2 early Thursday, but the official version hasn’t surfaced as of press time – however, a bootleg version has been floating around online for years - so we’ll offer a first taste of that until the band makes it official and releases it via regular outlets later today.
The updated version is expected to have re-recorded vocals by Mick Jagger – so this earlier version may not deliver that….we’ll provide an update with the new version when it surfaces.
