SOME GIRLS was the first full album with Guitarist Ronnie Wood his slide guitar style particulary was a feature of the sound plus meshed with the similar riffing of Keith Richards.Mick Jagger added a third guitar sound for the track “Respectable” This was the Rolling Stones 14th album released around the peak of Punk and Disco era with inspiration for Jagger from the disco and club scenes in New York, It helped that most of the punks idolised the Stones. The album recorded in Paris and with Keith still under the possibilty of going to Jail.

One of the Hits  “Miss You” certainly had that disco appeal Prince reported that he wished he had written that song,  included on the album were some of the Stones best songs, with some still played on tour today. There is the country style of “Beast Of Burden” then the cover of the Temptations “Just my Imagination” The  Sexist lyrics of title track caused some fury  “Some Girls”with its risque lyrics that mocked the stereotypes of women with virtuoso Harmonica from Sugar Blue, there is the Glam/Punk of “Shattered”  Ian McClagan Woods bandmate from the Faces added organ and piano. The cover had a lingerie, cartoon type sleeve with various female celebrities some of who threatened legal action pictured on the die cut sleeve which came in various colours.
