The Rolling Stones Re-Releasing 'Some Girls' In November

You can put the ongoing Jagger/Richards beef discussion on hold for a second, Rolling Stones faithful, because there are slightly more pressing matters at hand. Universal Music Group is re-releasing the band's classic 1978 album, Some Girls, this November with some fancy new bonus material, though how much of that material you get depends on which version you purchase.

There will be super-deluxe, deluxe, and digital editions available, with all three being remastered and expanded. While a press release wouldn't divulge details on the expanded portion of the album, it did note that producer Don Was recently unearthed several "undiscovered gems."

And should you cop the super-deluxe Some Girls, though, you will get the following: a previously unseen Helmut Newton photo session from 1978, an essay by Anthony DeCurtis on the album's cultural context, and a 7” single of Beast Of Burden/When The Whip Comes Down in its banned sleeve.

The re-release of Some Girls drops Nov. 21.
