The Making of The Rolling Stones Some Girls PART 2 

All of your documentaries on the Stones are extremely well done with such great detail I can't believe there are not millions of views. Maybe it will be found through time - the quality of work is definitely there to warrant growth of views. When I was younger this would have been a dream to have access to such amazing content though I am still very interested today just health issues have taken more concern. Thank you for your time making these, they are masterpieces to any true Stones fan.

Many thanks Flipside! Your dedication, deep knowledge and hard work and deep dives into our wonderful Stones is much appreciated!

Your knowledge and research of this legendary band is off the Richter scale! The gear run downs are fantastic as well, all very interesting. Many thanks Steve!

Fantastic job Steve, so much interesting stuff that I didn't know and I love the way you present these documentaries, you are a star. I'm looking forward to the next instalment of the ''Some Girls'' saga and thank you, as a Stones fan, that your great work is much appreciated.

Thanks Steve. I'm running out of ways to compliment you on these great documentaries so I'll just say that once again I thoroughly enjoyed this installment.

Another Steve classic y'all !!! Bow down in the presence of greatness...these videos are on a whole other level. Thank you for your many, many hours of hard work FlipSideCT.

Thanks again, Steve! I will be looking out for part three. Why the Stones never released the outtakes as a separate country-ish album still baffles me. We may have the 'Some Girls Reissue Bonus Disc' now on which they're featured on, but still, I think it could stand well on its own... In a just world, 'Do You Think I Really Care?' (or 'Yellow Cab') would have seen a 1978 release and continued airplay. But I guess we didn't deserve it!

Watched the Black and Blue parts and the first two of these Some Girls ones...amazing presentation and insight into the era, the sessions, and inner workings. Love it. Being born in '75, my existence doesn't know a world without these already established legends and the music permeated my soul as far back as the womb due my mom being a huge music fan. Its interesting that the finished album has always been known to be more Mick driven, but a closer look at these sessions show Keith coming up with many great ideas and loose songs that just didn't get finalized at that time. Thankfully, the deluxe editions of this album and Tattoo You gave us a few of those workings, as well as others that only add to the era and create a new listening experience and new realty. In regards to Do You Think I Care, I have spent quite a bit of time listening to that back up part as I was confused about how an old Keith vocal could be in sync with the new Mick vocal - after some time, its clear that its Mick laying down a very good modern impersonation of the late 70s Keith to back up his own new vocal. Its really too bad that Misty Roads and Munich Hilton never made a deluxe edition. Even if Mick couldn't wedge words well into Hilton, an edited and polished-up instrumental official release of that tune would have been a great addition. Looking forward to continue with your videos!

It is obvious how much work you put into these labors of love. They are truly from fan to fans. So well done. You focused a lot of the outtakes, which I think is great. Because the Marconi sessions from '77-'79 gave us a huge amount of top songs.

The RU-vid algorithm recommended me this last night and Im very impressed by the quality man. Im 31 and I got into this record when I was 27 after going through a rough patch in life. This was the first record of their's I listened to in full and I really liked how every track goes together. Made me explore the rest of the Rolling Stones catalogue outside of the hits. Big thanks for truly deep diving into this album and time period of the band. Pretty much anything I wanted to learn about it in terms of the sound and why the album became this behemoth is in this documentary. Ill definitely be checking out the rest of your videos! 🤘🏾✌🏾

These stories about the stones are truly gems!. Thanks for sharing them with the world!. Cheers.

I appreciate your Stones videos SO much and it is a real treat for me when one of these pops up. You bring so much more to the music and an awareness of just how hard they work to build these incredible songs. Maybe Some Girls will end up being the single album that best captures the Stones, the way they will be remembered. Thanks Steve, really interesting!

I was minus 6 when this came out but still to me the greatest rock ‘n’ roll band ever and these are the best documentaries

Best stones documentary’s ever made. I’m still trying to get them to recognize your work. Than you for this incredible work. Freaking awesome!!!

Cheers for all the hard work you put in on these. I’m enjoying hearing about eras of the stones that often get somewhat neglected

I have been waiting for this for what felt like ages and it didn't dissapoint! Thanks SO MUCH for doing these videos man they are freaking awsome. I'm gonna have to go back and watch part 1 again now. Can't wait for part 3.

I must say, you did a fantastic job with this documentary !! Made by a real fan for real fans! Excellent job !

Loved parts 1 and 2. Can’t wait for part 3. Thanks for all the hard work Steve!

Brilliant Steve. Your attention to detail amazes me still. Your previous videos always contains wonderful dissections of the songs inspires me to listen to the music more carefully and appreciate the more subtle moments. Thank you for your kind hearted generosity in creating these works!

Gidday again from Australia, Steve. And thanks again for your long hours you put into these cool videos. I really mean it, mate. Your love for the Stones is obvious and I was obsessed with them by this stage. Keep up the great work!! 🎸

These series are truly one of things I look forward to the most on RU-vid. Thanks for your time and effort in putting them together. I learn a ton, not only about the Stones, but also other musicians/groups etc. You rock!

Insanely absorbing. Thank you so very much, Steve.

Took me a couple of weeks to enjoy this one... You're the coolest. Thank you!

I got to say right off the bat. I really like the sound of 'Its a Lie". Brings me back to the mid to late seventies Stones sound. I am almost half way through now Steve and I am really enjoying this. Its funny. I used to listen to the Stones a lot. In the past ten years or so not as much. But when you post one of these videos I am grabbing a Stones album to listen to the next day. I was spinning Goats Head for a week straight when you did the GHS post. That Some Girls Sessions CD would be a very cool find on vinyl. I loved how this band always had so many songs in the can. I am going to cut the comment here and watch the rest later on. I got to head out for a few. So far so amazing Steve~ Rob/Boston

Great work Steve, all your efforts are really appreciated by us stoners...

You know Stevie,I often pull your work out of my vast library just to keep my batteries charged. You say it so often and I can't help but totally agree in my own way that the outs during the time of "Some Girls"+ ,"Rescue " are some of the coolest work of the decade. If it only had been pressed and sold in the States,they woulda been a total groove, man. Happy 2023. Rocky

Awsome man, thanks so much! I was in my late teens when this hit, we were 30' from the stage at JFK when I saw them for the first time during the Some Girls tour, and front and center for Keith's benefit concert in Oshawa. Looking forward to part 3!!!

My new favorite you tube channel! You rock. God bless you

Thank you - this was over the top excellent as always!!! I always learn a lot and find your use of music, videos, stills, and many sources well researched as well as very entertaining!!!! Peace!!!!

Watched last night. Don't know how i missed it after watching all the others. Great thanks. I had to check my SG vinyl copy. I have the original uncensored. Sweet! No mention of 'We had it all' by Keith. Since I was able to download Unknown Dreams from RU-vid it has been my most played album - I didn't even know he could play piano. I have just ordered the Deluxe SG to get the bonus album. Like a new release! Cheers and regards.

As you’ve heard (read) me go on ad nauseam by now, you know how much I love your videos/ documentaries. This one, though, I keep coming back to. I remember working in the city at restaurant when Some Girls came out and then not long after, Emotional Rescue (Summer Romance, Down in the Hole, and She’s So Cold are three of my favorite Stones’ songs). There was an ‘edge’ throughout all that was going, near and far, and New York was just ‘the end of the world,’ (being young, whereas would one want to be? ). And these two albums sort of reflected what many (certainly myself) were feeling. The Stones just seemed like the true Ny band. Years later, when I heard ‘Do You Think I Really Care,’ all those emotions came back. A round about way of saying I think you’re a terrific historian and your work is very much appreciated. Thank you!

Love your work man! Thanks!

GREAT WORK and exposure a real treasure for us fans! Been watching this a few times! thank you!!

I've been looking forward to this-cheers!

The Greatest Fucking Rock & Roll Band In The World. Great outro to prove it. I am fortunate enough to be old enough to have had the opportunity to buy the first version album cover copy on vinyl. And I gotta say your turning me on to alot of history and such that I have never heard about before, Thanks.

Thank you, your videos are fantastic.

Fantastic! thanks for another interesting and deeply researched doc. I appreciate all the alternate tracks. I don't know how you do it but please keep making these. I'm always happy to see another new one posted. Great work!!

Have this added to watch later. Probably watch it tonight. Good to see you back, kind sir. Looking forward to this

DUDE....I have checked every other hour for a month waitng on this. You are doing good work. It's the Lords work........

Great work as always Steve. Thanks for all your efforts in research. What could possibly come next?

You win again !!!! The stones should do a country album before they exit stage left ! Do you think I really care ! Genius of love ‘ Don’t stop !

May say to Steve - thanx, ya make people Happy, we're is Not much happiness at all. Thank ya so much, for your faszinating stones-stuff! Praises aaron

Wow this is exactly what I needed after this week. Thank you so much for another great video. Please don’t stop.

Hi Steve!! OH man...another gem!! I saw this released the other day, but have been waiting for some time to just sit and enjoy it uninterrupted!! As usual...now...I can't wait for the NEXT one!!! :) Thank you and keep up the good work...we ALL know how much time and effort these things take....very much appreciated!! CC

Another great Stones documentary. Looking forward to Part 3 and beyond!

Awesome, thank you -yourdedication -your love and clarity helps demystiphy the Mystique of these guys..no matter how much insight you add about the group,they are still somewhat illusive In getting to Really know what makes their tick tock last. A fearless and charming cockiness, projected as confidence.. the Stones make the audience feel alive and life is worth living.

Inner Grooves words are perfect , amen Steve , anther big treat, thank you!

Thank you so much for all your work on these! Really appreciate it.

Can't tell you much I enjoy watching your docs... Thank you, & keep up the great work!!

you do these very well friend allways enjoy

Steve, you are the Funk & Wagnalls of Rolling Stones knowledge, and we are your humble students. So much info that you share with us on this video and all your other vids. A tonne of never heard of tunes before. Thanks to older siblings I have been a Stones fan since i was about 5 years old, and now I am 55, and you keep on expanding my knowledge, which I thought I had a handle on before. Thank you, thank you, thanks you, for all the work you have done in this labor of love that you obviously enjoy. Cheers - Adrian

Great stuff again Steve. Really enjoy these. Labour of Love I'm sure. Thanks again

Dude! Nice work. It's like you are sitting in my living room telling great stories. I appreciate you and your passion. I'm new to your channel. Let it bleed, Some Girls and Tattoo are my regular drivers. Got to see Steel Wheels in Vancouver BC. First and only time; great show. I haven't looked yet, but have you done a Doc on Tattoo? If not, we're ready! Thank you for all the work.

Yo Steve, listen man, you’ve hit a home run again! I thoroughly enjoyed this doc . Again, lots of little things that I really did not know. As you know I am always impressed by all of your stuff. I’m always impressed with your labor, time, and so much effort as well. You always do it right, fan to fan! I especially liked the way you touched on a lot of these earlier songs that were left in the can. I agree man, some of them sound a lot better than the ones they used on later albums. I love the way you went into detail about all the different ways that they put so many different album covers together. I liked it, that was incredible. As a guitar player I like the way you always mention whenever they do songs in a different key from studio than on the stage and I know there are a few of them at least that they change for the stage. Well Steve, look, I’m really waiting for some girls number three because I love the way you break the songs down. OK then, cheers my friend, you keep on rocking. You are the king of this kind of stuff! Talk to you soon.-Philly DC.

Probably a good thing guys like you and me weren’t in the studio with them because we would have wanted all the throwaways put on the release

These documentaries are invariably time well spent and result in stone-fests the whole next day or longer. Thank You.

"No Spare Parts" sounds like it could have been based on "Gangster's Moll."

Thank You for sharing your knowledge and research on the Stones, luv your docs !!

Hello Steve; Part 2 of the Some Girls documentary a continuation of incidents & events that occurred during the recording of the LP. Which includes various sessions, demos, outtakes & bootlegs recorded while making this landmark LP. As explained the story paints a picture of the band as it relates to recorded tracks both issued & unreleased. Showing off some not so well known Stones tracks that are wonderful to hear. Coupled with Keith's court dates & his relationship with Anita that caused unneeded stress for both Keith & the group. A outstanding compilation of Stones tracks taking the viewer thru this period of their career. Good video, filmed, spliced together with a photo gallery & musical soundtrack in a well narrated & informative way. Take care, Tina & Pat!~

so well done sir! what a blessing that you gathered all this info together like this

Thank you so much for all your hard work on these videos they are a fan’s feast!

Another solid doc brother. This fan appreciated your effort and passion. Cheers brother. (All will be complete when you drift into the Jones years)

Thanks, really enjoyed this like all your docs. Appreciate your hard work.

You are the best, Gracias

I've got bhind on watching. I need to catch up. Great Job.

I love Micks interview that kicks this off - nice and cagey. The Rutles was such a good movie and soundtrack - I listen to that soundtrack as much as I do some Beatles albums. Love your deep dive into the boots and where they ended up and the differences.

Another great video Steve. Many thanks from Wales.

Great work man! J from France 🇫🇷.

Genius! Thank you again. Always improving. There was a slow song that remind me “Put Me In The Trash” (MJ’s solo Wandering Spirit).

thank you so much! pt.II it's only rock&roll but i love it! you make my lazy days, i love the behind the scenes info given and your presentations of all your stuff. best from Organ, NM rey :)

Another excellent and easily digested piece of work. This fan enjoyed it!

Wood 'Da Doo Ron Ron' was an incredibly lucky break , they couldn't have found a better Taylor replacement. Thanks for this. Anything pre 80's Stones is guaranteed to get me out of a dip.

Steve, Rocky here mate, just tuned in ,puttin ‘‘em both on the reels. Already know it’s top knotch but gonna check it out and comments too. Get back to ya. Peace mate, Rocky

Wonderful!👏👏👏👏👏👏

Stevie, my friend, here goes. If I step on your toes ,please let me know.To wear out a cliche,you hit this one way out of the park.For only a 2nd episode of this Doc. and given your history,you are proving that you are my and I hope thousands of others their Stones guru. ( shakey what ? )Alright,enough with the soft talk.Alright man,this is an on point expose.After Pt. One,I was lead to believe that this was going to be a 2 part doc. Enjoyed every minute of this.Your info is extremely accurate and I know,I scratch and (steal)to get the same at a snails pace.This was relaxing and ez to watch.If I might add a point or two. Moons ago I received a disc of the 21 song “Girls” from a German friend.(an engineer) I think I know where you’re going for Part 3.You said it yourself.Please let the fans know this L.P. was a work to combat ( andI don’t believe) falling sales because of internal problems,(Yeah right) and to deal with an era full of disco and punk.Everybody needs to know in their own polite way they’re giving everyone their ass to kiss. As Keith quoted “ we out punked the punks,They can’t play, we can.” I know this has been long winded.( sorry mate )In Pt.3 please dissect the songs as only you can.Sorry for the Magna Carta. Peace, Rocky

Love your documentaries, great job

That was great. Funny you highlighted Summer Romance only last week it came on the radio and it hit me exactly how you described. Great rock n roll. More so than when I listen to ER.

I read Faeeah Fawcett appeared on the Some Girla album cover

Always some new info from ur videos, thanks Steve

Great work as usual.Thanks.

Outstanding as usual Steve.

THANK YOU !!! Excellent as the previous ones !

Excellent video documentary, as always….Mick and Keith should hire you as the official band biographer :)) Can’t wait to see the next chapter..

The Stones lost some fans with this, but not me . Very underated and I think one of their best considering the radical change in Rock n roll in the late seventies . I wasn't burning Disco LPs or Punk LPs I was in deep and the Stones didn't let me down . 😎❗

Once again, just plain outstanding!

1978 , quite an interesting and important year for rocknroll . As i get older , i wonder if it only seems that way because it was my generation. But watching this just reminds me, that it truly was a high tide of creativity

I so look forward to your Stones releases...you never disappoint and always put out an entertaining doc, chock full of info that satisfies even the most rabid fan. As you so perfectly put it, these productions of yours are a labour of love by a (SUPER COLOSSAL) fan for fans. The “Coming Soon” statement at the end, letting us know there is a next installment, also put a personal stamp on your work. I had that ABKCO 2 LP greatest hits set that you showed and hadn’t seen it for decades. In fact, it was the first music I owned of the boys, in the late 70s. Once I started getting all their full albums, I got rid of it and have wondered for years who was behind it. It never dawned on me that it was by ABKCO as it has a chintzy look. I was too young to realize that ABKCO was a real record company. With a name like that I filed it away as a K-Tel like release which made no sense at all for a major band since K-Tel did compilations of songs of bands or years. I also remember the Rutles special. I was in Jr High when that came out. I'd forgotten Mick’s whole interview and had no recollection of Ronnie (as a punk) at all. It’s wonderful how the band keeps putting out “new” releases of older music that hasn’t seen commercial exposure before. Many think they have completely mined the vaults for those reissued lps/cds but I still think they have a treasure trove that’s unheard by even superfans. Just look at the 3 bootleg CDs of outtakes in 2020. The gems on Fully Finished Studio Outtakes were impressive and very worthy of commercial release. While the band’s sound has evolved over time, from lead guitarist to lead guitarist, it changed the most while also staying the same once Ron came on board. Ron gave the band a different style than what Brian and Mick T produced, but at the same time he adds a consistent sound. It’s punkier, bouncier, choppier, and not as smooth or experimental as what Brian and Mick T brought to the band. His weaving seems to be what Keith needs as they act like a team. Ron brings much more than his underrated musicianship though. He brings value as a translator, negotiator, peacemaker. Without him, the band may not have continued after the late 70s. I'm glad you mentioned Keno.org as his message board is where I first heard about you and your Stones doc series. That was good of you to give more detail about the tragedy with Scott Cantrell’s death. It does sounds like there was a lot more going on that was kept quiet, and that Anita wasn’t conducting herself in the most appropriate manner to put it politely. I hadn’t heard that Jeff Sessler and Mackenzie Phillips were also there. I managed to score a copy of the original Some Girls album cover, albeit without the disc inside but I was fine with that. You speak of getting us to check out the Live in Texas from 78 concert. You are so right about that show. When that release came out, the concert became one of my favourites of theirs right up there with Ladies and Gentlemen in 72, At the Max in 90, and No Security, San Jose in 99. They really sizzled on stage in Texas. Thank you again for this Maestro of Minutiae! I can’t wait for Part 3, which I'm glad you announced was coming as I was thinking there was so much more to be talked about.

Thanks and kind regards Steve a for another nice installment . Wonderful to learn more about this time stopping album from that period. Fondly still recall how sweet those chords were from 'Beast of Burden' in the summer of '78 the first few times through a crappy car radio in my 74 Toyota Corona. They were their catchiest and smoothest in years. FYI have you heard of the "Blushing Brides"? They were a CDN stones cover band who played in the east here on both sides of the border. They started in my college town ( Kingston, On) actually and were like our own 'Otis Day and the Knights' lol . Just had their 40th anniversary tour in 2019 w a stop at , of course, the "El Mocambo'.

Are you ok? Just checkin on ya. Can't wait for some more stones stuff.

Well done. Thank you!

I cannot thank you enough. I am a fan like u

Summer romance was in the rehearsals for their snl show in 78

nother good one thank you!..that live Happy version is smokin hot

I love the crazy working titles , broken toe...lmao

I wish Ronnie had kept the pedal steel guitar in their albums. The Stones always had a bit of twang. I always hear a lot of country music in Delta blues. Back in the day, "black" and white music were very similar in rural America.

Monumental! Historic! You uncover all Stones! Summer Romance I loved so much! Hope you get to Emotional Rescue and Tatoo You! That's the culmination of the Rolling Stones! Take your time! Great job, Bro'!

Fabulous

I’ve been very excited

This documentary opens up with a very funny Johnny rot in impersonation by Mr. Jagger

love your docs. Are u gonna do some on Goat's Head or Only Rock n Roll? greetings from Greece!
