Rd, and the rest of you that have this already. I gotta know one thing before I plunk down $25.00...

Did they edit the shit out of every song?
Is it going to piss me off like listening to Irresistable Bitch and Erotic City from the B-Sides disk of "The Hits/B-sides"?


they don't edit any of the songs on disc one... but in order to fit 20 songs on disc 2, some of the songs are presented in the form of the single edits... that said, it doesn't really mar the set and the edits are barely noticable... only the hardcore fan would even realize it...

the following songs are presented in the form of single edits:
- miss you
- beast of burden
- fool to cry
- mixed emotions
- anybody seen my baby?
- undercover of the night
- emotional rescue
- it's only rock & roll

but, if you are looking for a set that is an introduction to the stones or the one release that sums it up, you should still get this set... very nicely done...



miss you
beast of burden


Ah, fuck a duck, these are two of my favorite songs. And yes I will notice they are edited. mad


go out and buy "some girls" then... it's a kick-ass album and has been remastered... has "miss you," "beast of burden" plus a ton of other great songs on it...


I don't have Some Girls, bought Rewind instead (another comp, I was just starting, still am LOL). Are the versions I have on Rewind edited too? :O

star

BTW, somebody explain to me the appeal of Brown Sugar?? That song irritates me, I don't know why folks think it's so great... neutral



i don't have that one, but i'm almost positive that they are... gimme the song lengths and i'll let ya know...

Maybe it's the subject matter: double entendre of oral sex with a black woman/shooting heroin that bugs you? shrug
Anyhoo, this is one of my favorites.


I don't remember a heroin reference, but I do remember references to raping Black slave women - still trying to figure out what the fuck is appealing about that... neutral

BROWN SUGAR

Gold coast slave ship bound for cotton fields
Sold in a market down in New Orleans
Scarred old slaver knows he's doing alright
Hear him whip the women, just around midnight

Ah, brown sugar how come you taste so good?
Ah, brown sugar just like a young girl should

Drums beating cold English blood runs hot
Lady of the house wonderin' where it's gonna stop
House boy knows that he's doing alright
You should a heard him just around midnight

Ah, brown sugar how come you taste so good?
Ah, brown sugar just like a young girl should
Ah, brown sugar how come you taste so good?
Ah, brown sugar just like a black girl should

I bet your mama was a tent show queen
And all her girlfriends were sweet sixteen
I'm no school boy but I know what I like
You should have heard me just around midnight

Ah, brown sugar how come you taste so good?
Ah, brown sugar just like a young girl should

I said yeah, yeah, yeah, whew
How come you... how come you taste so good?
I said yeah, yeah, yeah, whew
Just like a black girl should

here it is...


Some girls give me money
Some girls buy me clothes
Some girls give me jewelry
That I never thought I'd own

Some girls give me diamonds
Some girls, heart attacks
Some girls I give all my bread to
I don't ever want it back

Some girls give me jewelry
Others buy me clothes
Some girls give me children
I never asked them for

So give me all your money
Give me all your gold
I'll buy you a house back in Zuma beach
And give you half of what I own

Some girls take my money
Some girls take my clothes
Some girls get the shirt off my back
And leave me with a lethal dose

French girls they want Cartier
Italian girls want cars
American girls want everything in the world
You can possibly imagine

English girls they're so prissy
I can't stand them on the telephone
Sometimes I take the receiver off the hook
I don't want them to ever call at all

White girls they're pretty funny
Sometimes they drive me mad
Black girls just wanna get fucked all night
I just don't have that much jam

Chinese girls are so gentle
They're really such a tease
You never know quite what they're cookin'
Inside those silky sleeves

Give me all you money
Give me all your gold
I'll buy you a house back in Zuma beach
And give you half of what I own

Yeah baby why don't you please come home

Some girls they're so pure
Some girls so corrupt
Some girls give me children
I only made love to her once

Give me half your money
Give me half your car
Give me half of everything
I'll make you world's biggest star

So gimme all your money
Give me all your gold
Let's go back to Zuma beach
I'll give you half of everything I own

That's per Mick during an interview (Rolling Stone, I believe) several years ago. However, I can see why the lyrics could be offensive. I dig the guitar riffs though

She Was Hot and Waiting On a Friend are two glaring omissions. She Was Hot is in my top 10 stones songs, one song i never get sick of hearing and a somewhat neglected classic.

i get into the groove of it... it could be an instrumental for all i care... especially the harmonica solo... love that...

although, if it were an instrumental i would miss the part about "gimme half of your money, gimme half of your clothes" and "some girls give me children - i only made love to her once"... :LOL: that shit cracks me up...
