Interesting Rolling Stones news -- apparently the expanded Exile on Main Street reissue did well enough to occasion a similar deluxe edition of Some Girls, with live bonus tracks.
Here's Britain's The Guardian with the details.
And on a related note, here's something that just blew me away -- one of my favorite tracks from Between the Buttons -- "Yesterday's Papers" -- without the vocals. Recorded sometime between the 3rd and the 11th of August, 1966 at RCA Studios in Los Angeles, with the late great Jack Nitzsche on harpsichord
Words, as they often do, fail me.

Testing! Testing!!!
For a long time I thought of BTB as a collection of failed experiments. Coming as it did after Aftermath, still my favorite of their albums, it seemed a little pallid - only two decent rockers on it, Amanda Jones and Let's Spend the Night. But I'm starting to love it, maybe because there are so few "performance pieces" on it. No other "psychedelic" music from this time seems so full of personality, of subtle dread.

Yep.
And a very subtle humor too...
I never liked this song until I heard the vocal-less version. That's great.
This is almost ... charming, which is not a word I would ever have used to describe the song. Shows how great Jagger's vocal is. And Charlie's illustrations are wonderful.
"All Sold Out" - 3 rockers.
