Universal Music has now announced the U.S./Canadian release dates for "No Spare Parts," the single taken from the 2011 remastered reissue of the Rolling Stones' 1978 album "Some Girls."

"No Spare Parts" will be released in the digital format the week of November 14, 2011, and on 7-inch vinyl on November 25, 2011.

As previously reported, "No Spare Parts" is one of the previously unreleased bonus tracks on the "Some Girls" album remastered reissue, which goes on sale on November 21, 2011.

Here's the official press release from Universal Music:

LTD EDITION 7" VINYL TO CELEBRATE RECORD STORE DAY'S "BLACK FRIDAY"

Universal Music Group has announced that The Rolling Stones will issue the previously unreleased track "No Spare Parts" on exclusive limited edition 7" vinyl to mark Record Store Day's "Black Friday", Friday, November 25. A digital download version of the single will be available the week commencing November 14.

"No Spare Parts" is one of twelve bonus tracks that have been unearthed for inclusion on the forthcoming deluxe and super deluxe reissue of The Rolling Stones' Some Girls – widely regarded as one of the band's greatest albums. Some Girls will be released on November 21.

"No Spare Parts" captures the daring and diverse spirit of the album's legendary sessions. Recorded in Paris in 1978, the song tells the story of a trip from Los Angeles to San Antonio, Texas featuring Mick Jagger on electric piano, Keith Richards on acoustic piano, Ronnie Wood on pedal steel guitar, Charlie Watts on drums and Bill Wyman on bass. With a country guitar twang, subtle groove, and soulful storytelling, it's a powerful and poignant acoustic tune from The Rolling Stones, and an essential addition to any fan's catalogue.

The limited edition 7" version of the single will also include Some Girls album track "Before They Make Me Run" on the B-side.

Other never-heard-before tracks featured on the Some Girls reissue will include "We Had It All", "I Love You Too Much" and "Don't Be A Stranger."
