With »Some Girls«, Jagger and Co. competed against punk in London and disco in New York. The follow-up to »Black And Blue« freed the Stones from the stigma of the dinosaur band in 1978, in the age of the Sex Pistols and Studio 54, consolidated their fame, installed them as rebellious, spotted glamour hard rockers. » "Some Girls" is the best Stones album since "Exile On Main St.", wrote the international music critics shortly after its first release. With a good six times platinum status, »Some Girls« is now also the most commercially successful Stones LP of all time. In Paris, virtually without guest musicians, back to basics, as a pure guitar band, with blood and sweat, the Stones recorded a »Rock ́n ́Roll Noir« work, with politically incorrect, sexist lines such as: »Black Girls just want to get f****ed all night / I just don ́t have that much jam« of the title song. Counterpointed by their #1 single "Miss You", the biggest disco song ever recorded by a rock band. Similarly great and yet completely different: the Top 10 single »Beast of Burden«, recently covered by The Kooks.
