Some Girls Sessions Outtakes - Bonus Tracks Material

Other Name Alias’: Accidents Will Happen

Track Origin, Inspiration, & History: This is the story of Claudine Longet (wife of Andy Williams) and the untimely shooting death of her ski instructor boyfriend Vladimir "Spider" Sabich. It was a bit of a scandal. See the complete story and song lyrics on this web page. I have traced three unauthorized versions of this track, which has been in underground circulation for over 20 years. There is most notably a longer and slower version that the Stones wisely chose not to use, as this fast version is the clincher.

The Words: 2nd Version Outtake

Claudine's back in jail again
Claudine's back in jail again
Claudine's back in jail again
Claudine...

Claudine's back in jail again
Claudine's back in jail again
She only does it, at weekends
Claudine...

Now only Spider knows for sure
But he ain't talkin' about it any more
Is he Claudine?

There was blood in the chalet
Blood in the snow
She washed her hands of the whole damn show
Claudine...

She shot him once right through the head
She shot him twice right through the chest
Judge ruled it was an accident Claudine...

Accidents will happen...

Well, Claudine's back in jail again
Claudine's back in jail again
Claudine's back in jail again
Claudine...

* Claudine's back in jail again
* Claudine's back in jail again
* Claudine's back in jail again
* Claudine...

* Yeah, poor Claudine
* Poor Claudine

* Claudine's back in jail again
* Claudine's back in jail again
* Claudine's back in jail again
* Claudine...

* Note: Edited from 3rd Version

Poor Claudine
Poor Claudine
Poor, poor, poor Claudine

Now I threaten my wife now with a gun
But I always leave the safety on
I recommend it, Claudine
Yeah, pistol whip me once or twice
Never ever try to take my life
What do you think about that?
Claudine...

Claudine's back in jail again
Claudine's back in jail again
She only does it, at weekends
Claudine...

Poor...poor
Poor Claudine
Poor Claudine

Whoohoo
What about your children Claudine?
Poor, poor children?

You're the prettiest girl I've ever seen
Only see you on the movie screen
Hope you never try to make a sacrifice of me Clau..(dine)
Uhh Uhh
Don't get, don't get too trigger happy with me Claudine
Itchy fingers

Yeah, Claudine's back in jail again
Claudine's back in jail again
Claudine's back in jail again
Claudine...

Recording Date: This track was put down in the early part of 1978 at Pathe Marconi. Interestingly enough, nearly all of these January – March session songs were not used on the “Some Girls” LP, other than Keith’s Before They Make Me Run. These sessions are now the source of much of the officially released Bonus Material tracks.

Comment: How interesting that the Stones have chosen to release this. Time has passed, so maybe not so controversial.

Other Name Alias’: None.

Track Origin, Inspiration, & History: A groupie girl song in the tradition of the infamous "Ruby Tuesday" and "Stray Cat Blues"? Maybe this is a French version ;-) This is a slight remix and remaster of the 1994 single release version. You can hear piano at the beginning. Vocals nearly totally reworked. Song structure is the same as the outtake with some of the old lines influencing the writing of the new ones.

The Words Outtake Version:

- Omitted Lines -
One, two, three...(whisper quiet)
Took her down to Balastida bought a brand new set of boots

Went down and get it on until ya'all got it ill

- Replaced With... -
I met her in a movie house, she was playin' the arcades
And posing with her hang down, lookin' a little bit unmade

A 'come and share my popcorn, it's not a federal offense

-Chorus-
She's so young
God help me, sh.. she's so young

- Omitted Lines -
I took her down to Barry bought her a barman's and a pool

Well, skin was white and pudgy, she got spots all on her face
And wearin' too much makeup, and she wasn't walkin' straight

She' s so young, God help me she's so young
Yeah...

-Chorus-
She's so young...

She's so dumb
Tell me what child she's so young

- Replaced With... -
Well, I took her down to Barney's, bought her a brand new set of boots

(Ends abruptly)

"Official" version closes right down to extended closing solo guitar outro notes.

Recording Date: Another lost track from January – March 1978 Pathe Marconi sessions.

Comment: This is a cool “Some Girls” track, but it has already been nicely redone with a new vocal take and officially released as a bonus single track in 1994 on the Love Is Strong and Out Of Tears Maxi Singles. There are so many great “Some Girls” era songs still in the “can”, so why put this one out again? How about the coolest Wood-Richards guitar-weave ever recorded and never released: Fiji Jim? That was a good one. Or The Way She Held Me Tight? Or I Need You? Really, there is still so much, and to put this out again? I don’t get it. It’s filler on a bonus disc. Well, none the less, still a great "Some Girls" song that the Stones felt was worthy of re-release.

Other Name Alias’: "Yellow Cab", "Do You Think I Care?" and "Do You Think I Saw Her".

Track Origin, Inspiration, & History: Vocal rework and rerecording with nice clean remixing compared to unauthorized outtakes. There is an added piano solo before the pedal steel solo break. The Stones recorded many country tracks in France of all places. The only released result was Far Away Eyes until now. It is fitting that the country music be represented on this compilation because comprised the theme of many of these sessions.

The Words to the Outtake Version:

And 1..2..1..2..3..4...
Here I come

Do you think, I could ever care?
About a girl, who's ne-ver there
Do you think, I could ev-er care?
About a girl, who's ne-ver there

I saw her on the subway
'E'...
Saw her on the D Train
Saw her in the afternoon
After all the Giants game
Saw her on the freeway
Saw her on the high-a-way
Gimme a break, I need a Yellow Cab
Help me get out of this rain

Do you think, I could ev-er care?
About a girl, who's almost never there
Do you think, about the cloths she wears?
Would change her mind, or turn my hair

I saw her on the freeway
I saw her on the E Train
Saw her hangin' out
On 52nd & Broadway
I saw her on the highway
I saw her on the skyway
Aw, need a Yellow Cab, Ronnie
Let me get out of the rain
Oh yeah... Go ahead...

Instrumental Break #1
Let me try it... (faint)
Yeah... I saw her on the highway
'E'...
... on the D Train
I saw her eatin' a pizza
On 75th & Broadway
I saw her on the subway
'E'...
... on the by train
Aw... Gettin' tired of your shiverin'
Need a Yellow Cab
Help me get out of this rain

Do you think, I could ever care?
About a girl, who's almost never there
Do you think, I could ever care?
About a girl, that cares about the, cloths she wears
Do you think, I could ev-er care?
About a girl, that even dyes her hair

Keep goin'...
Do you think?
Whooo...

Instrumental Break #2

Whoohoo...

Ohhh... do you think, I would really care?
About a women, that's never there
Do you think, I would ever care?
About a woman, the cloths she wears
Do you think, I would ever care? (faint)
About a girl who's hardly ever there

Whooohoo.. Whooohoo..
Yeah boss, alright
Whooo...

Recording Date: Pathe Marconi, Paris, January 5 - March 2, 1978 sessions.

Comment: A great reworking of the underground classic and fitting for official release.

Other Name Alias’: None.

Track Origin, Inspiration, & History: I’ve listened to the original outtake version for nearly as long as the “Some Girls” LP and this is another interesting vocal rewrite and rerecording. A little less overall country “twang” present in the new vocal as well. There is an added pedal steel solo.

The Words to the Outtake Version: Nearly a complete re-write compared to the official version.

Oeeww, baby, baby, baby, baby...
Daddy drunk, daddy drunk himself to death
When he was 35 years old
Left five daughters and book ’em on the caitlin' row
Put ’em down an’ left an’ he left all pain to me
And a pullin’ outta Dallas, and the dirt back in Tennessee
Thank you honey

So I called big si-ster on the telephone
I said how y’all down there in area code 201
Girl you won’t, starve for fortune and fame
To earn big money in Dallas and make her name
Lonely hearts, they’re just made to break
There ain’t no spare parts
Ain’t no oil to change
One thing I'll tell ya'
Honey, I ain’t accustomed to lose
If I want something bad
I always find a way to get thru
One more time...
I tell ya something, I ain’t accustomed to lose
If I want somethin’ bad enough
I always find a way to get through

-Chorus-
Lonely hearts, they’re just made to break
There ain’t no spare parts, ain’t no oil to change

I could be there Thanksgiving afternoon
With a turkey in my hand
And ah oughta buy a bottle a boose’...
I took a short cut about a quarter down the turnpike road
And I’ll filler up with gas and filler about San Antone
An’ I’ll make it t’dallas about a quarter past, half past three
Just another 30 miles on the road back to 4-43

-Chorus-
You know, lonely hearts, they’re just made to break
There ain’t no spare parts, there ain’t no oil to change

I tell ya, I ain’t accustomed to lose
If I want somethin’ bad enough
I always find a way to get it, baby, including you
I tell ya something, I ain’t ever gonna lose
If I want somethin’ bad enough
I always find a way to get it, baby including you
I could be there, Thanksgiving afternoon
If I start off now put my foot down the floor, damn two
I spoke to big sister on the telephone
She said come on big brother
Why don’t you come on back home?

-Chorus-
I said, lonely hearts, they’re just made to break
There ain’t no spare parts, aint’ no oil to change

I tell ya, honey, I ain’t accustomed to lose
If I want somethin’ bad enough
I always find a way to get it, mmmmm
Talkin ’ bout you
If I want somethin’ bad enough
I always find a way to get it don’t I?
If I want somethin’ bad enough
I always find a way to get it don’t I?
If I want somethin’ strong enough
I always find a way to get it baby, shoo-gahh (sugar)
Ahhhh, yah, yah, yah
One more time....
Tell ya somethin’, babe, I ain’t accustomed to lose
If I want somethin’ bad enough
I always find a way to get it
If I want somethin’ bad enough
I always find a way to get it

-Chorus-
Lonely hearts, they’re just made to break
There ain’t no spare parts, there ain’t no oil to change

-Chorus-
Lonely hearts, they’re just made to break
Ain’t no spare parts, there ain’t no oil to change

Now, I’m, I’m a comin’ back
Comin’ back, thursday afternoon
If I don’t tumble down hard
Really gonna get, gonna get...

Recording Date: October 1977 – March 1978 Pathe Marconi sessions.

Comment: I like it. The new vocal references are interesting too. Sound quality of course is a big improvement.

Other Name Alias’: None.

Track Origin, Inspiration, & History: This is a cover song. Maybe inspired by the Waylon Jennings version. It’s a different vocal take than the circulating outtakes. There is a vocal marker: In the outtake he says : "we can never live these time again" in the official version it's "We can never live those times again". The official version has great stereo separation and instrumental clarity. There is a harmonica solo near the ending that is either up in the mix or added later. Maybe Sugar Blue.

Recording Date: Recorded at Pathe Marconi between June – October 1979. An “Emotional Rescue” era outtake.

Comment: This is a great version, and possibly a later take with a period vocal not previously heard. This is a younger sounding voice to me. Keith’s vocal has a TON of that great country soul oozing out. There’s enough to knock the whole barn down. This could easily have been one of those Keith LP closers that came to be in later releases during the Eighties and Nineties. It's hard to believe that this didn't come out sooner.

Other Name Alias’: None.

Track Origin, Inspiration, & History: This is a cover of a 1959 Freddy Cannon release.

Recording Date: Recorded at RCA Studios in Los Angeles in August 1978 after the completion of the “Some Girls” US tour. The outtake version surfaced a number of years ago on a release titled “One Night With A Tallahassee Lassie”. It is simply a remix and remaster of he original take. They also did some very solid versions of Jimmy Reed’s “My First Plea” with Keith on vocals at RCA.

Comment: This rockabilly number surprisingly fits into the whole “Some Girls” feel for me. It’s interesting that the Stones can now add it to a “Some Girls” compilation even though it was recorded after the sessions that produced he original album. This whole “opening of the vaults” initiative can really allow for a freedom and creative flexibility when collecting and collating songs for these later bonus releases.

Other Name Alias’: "Shaved Stone" & "I Can't Help It"

Track Origin, Inspiration, & History: I have come across four different outtake versions of this song. Evidence that maybe they were taking it pretty seriously as a potential release. The earliest outtake version is an all out punk rocker. The Stones have again picked the best version though. This has a reworked and rerecorded vocal over the original musical tracks laid-down at Pathe Marconi.

The Words for the Fourth Version Outtake:

three, four . . .
I think I decided to get out of the rain
I wasn't thinkin' of your stayin'
But when you pulled me off the door- step
Somehow I knew I had the pain again
Somehow I knew I need the pa-in, yes!
I wasn't thinkin' cause the pa-in

'Cause I love too much
I can't help it if I love you too much
What did-you-do to make me love you too much?
I can't help it if I love you
I can't help it if I love you

Call it novelty fascination
I call it nasty education
Friends of mine, they'll snicker and sneer
Their all laughin' while I cry in my beer
I never give-in
I get scared is that I never give-in

'Cause I love too much
I can't help it 'cause I love you too much
What did you get to make me love you too much?
I can't help it if I love you
I can't help it if I love you

I need no help to make me a fool
Did it myself and it ... Richards: Unintelligible
I'm in here thinkin' about startin' up school
Richards: Unintelligible . . .you know
First believe it can happen to you
And when it does you know as much as I do

I love you too much
I can't help it 'cause I love you too much
What did you get to make me love you too much?
I can't help it 'cause I love you
I can't help it if I love you
I can't help it if I love you
Note: Only heard in verses of the first version
I can't help it 'cause I gotta get back

Recording Date: Pathe Marconi, January – March 1978 sessions.

Comment: Do you think Mick would be referencing “Martini Lunches” in the midst of the punk haze of the late 1970’s? No way, I still like the rework though. Again in the spirit of the original vocal take and sound of the initial recording made in the late 70’s.

Other Name Alias’: Some People Tell Me

Track Origin, Inspiration, & History: The lyrical melody is in the same vein as Robert Johnson’s “Walking Blues”, which was of course was influenced by Son House’s late 1920’s recording of “My Black Mama”:

Well my black mama’s face shines like the sun

Oh, no lipstick and powder won’t help her none

My black mama’s face shines like the sun…

- Son House

Recording Date: This track originated at Pathe Marconi during sessions held from January – March 1978, and is really a major upgrade and reworking of the original idea of a song. It came out real good.

Comment: Great Blues that somehow fits the feel of the “Some Girls” groove. Maybe it’s because it goes so well with the Sugar Blue harp playing on songs like Miss You and Some Girls.

Other Name Alias’: Petrol Gang (3:49)

Track Origin, Inspiration, & History: Original vocal take with edits & remix.

Fades in...

Aw, please Mr. President, say it isn't so
I don't have to sell my Cadillac, I just paid for

My friend says the trouble is this country's too Goddamn big
Maybe we should pull it in from the ages a bit
Maybe that way we'll have so far to go
I called Mr. Getty, I even called-up Texaco, Texaco
They got plenty left, they got, plenty to go
Hey Mr. President, say it isn't so
Aw, Mr. President, say it isn't so
Why do I have to sell my Cadillac I just paid for, I just paid for...
Ends abruptly (Fast breaths)

Recording Date: Pathe Marconi, January – March 1978 sessions.

Comment: There’s groove and soul to this that I have always liked immensely. A great simple jam with Ian Stewart and Mick noodling around in a Paris studio. It is so cool to make this the closing track. Stu would have dug this for sure.

This is an interesting and worthwhile effort to pull together enough outtake material to make a second part to the album nearly as strong as the original selection of songs with respect to styles, influences, and energy. The thing that really makes this work is the fact that the Stones kept with the feel of the original vocal ideas and melodies that is much cooler than say, applying contemporary vocals and vocal recording levels to period instrumental tracks. This didn’t work for me on several of the “Exile On Main St.” bonus tracks. Thanks for this, nice work.

The information and vocal transcriptions that follow are from original work on the "Underground Stones" series originally posted on "Undercover" mailing list and published in "Sticky Fingers Magazine". They are the vocals to the original unreleased outtakes and not the new official releases.

This is one of those biographical Rolling Stones songs, and quite literal with respect to the chronology of events. More accurate than say Midnight Rambler as these things go. At the age of 19 Claudine Longet was the lead dancer with Follies BergFre show in Las Vegas. She met Andy Williams while in the follies and married him, although she was 14 years younger. She had three children with Williams, and in the mid sixties pursued an acting and singing career. She met Olympic skier Vladimir "Spider" Sabich while at a celebrity ski tournament in Bear Valley in 1972. By 1975 she and her children had moved into Sabich's stone and log chalet in the Starwood section of Aspen, Colorado. Things went well between the two for nearly a year until the relationship started to deteriorate and Sabich asked that she leave the premises by April 1, 1976. On March 21, 1976 Sabich was shot dead on his bathroom floor with a .22 caliber pistol. Longet was responsible for what her lawyers described as an "accident". She said that Sabich had been showing her how to use the gun when it went off. Ballistics experts at the trial testified that the safety catch was defective on the gun. He was killed by a single bullet (the only inaccuracy in the song is the reference to three shots) to the abdomen and bled to death on the way to the hospital. He was 31 years old. On January 14, 1977 she was convicted of negligent homicide and spent 30 days in the Pitkin County Jail. Claudine was granted family rights during the week which meant that she only served time on the weekends. She went on to marry her defense attorney and continues to live in Aspen.

I first heard this song in 1981 after I had stopped in a local "hole in the wall" record shop on the way home from work one evening and found the LP "Accidents Will Happen - Claudine". I couldn't believe what I was hearing. Claudine and the other songs released on this disc for the first time represented the most significant collection of outtake recordings since Trade Mark of Quality's "Bright Lights Big City". It is likely that this Eva Records release is possibly the work of the guys at TMoQ. Claudine was recorded at Pathe Marconi Studios Paris, France, the time period between Mid-January to March 2, 1978.

There are three versions of the song:
1st Version (8:02): A slow tempo with Jagger singing in a meandering drawl. Dual guitar weave.
2nd Version (3:32): This is an uptempo little number with a country two-step feel to it.
3rd Version (3:03): Edit of the 2nd version (2 chorus versus removed in the center section of the song; noted by * in the transcription).

Gemstones:

Best quality sound found on "Static In The Attic". Clear stereo mix with no audible tape hiss. All sources used on this disc are impeccable! "Lonely At The Top" CD's are also very good sources.

Missing In Action:

The song is taunting and not completely factual, so it is no surprise that the Stones "establishment" had some concern with the litigation that would ensue had it ever ended up as the closing track on "Emotional Rescue". The song and the incident are dated now, but for those who still write about "Spider" today, there are still many good memories.

Maybe a song about a girl from Texas. In the tradition of the infamous "Ruby Tuesday" and "Stray Cat Blues"... This is the first version with original vocal. Debut release on Outsider Bird disc "Paris Results" in January, 1993. Recorded at Pathe Marconi Studios, Paris, sessions October 10, 1977 - March 2, 1978.

Great rhythm tone and riff with splendid solo's from Ronnie Wood. This was "too great to make you wait", and was released on the Love Is Strong CD single from 1994's "Voodoo Lounge". Reference the Holland/Benelux edition. Note that the official version has a reworked lyric.

"Rolling Stones - Paris Results" Outsider Bird Records (PR 1 A/PR-1 B). 200 numbered copies on blue vinyl.

"Rolling Stones - Paris Results" Outsider Bird Records (OBR-CD 93-001). 500 numbered copies with a red rubber stamped cover.

A great swinging rhythm with Jagger sounding particularly "punk" for this session run through. This would have been a nice addition to Some Girls. Remember that this title was initially released in the vinyl age, and LP's were basically limited to 23 minutes per side in the old days. Maybe this could have replaced Lies...would have worked for me.

"Some Girls" outtake from Pathe Marconi, Paris, January 5 - March 2, 1978 sessions.

There is an over dub to replace the pedal steel with straight guitar licks (or vice versa). The guitar take is a Telecaster set for "extra dry country style" (bridge pick-up).

* A tape of Pathe Marconi outtakes circulated with this song soon after the release of "Some Girls". Partial, cuts-off early.

Partial, cuts-off early. This LP was indeed made from the rare Seventies tape. The LP plays a little fast.

* "Some Other Girls (Some Girls Rehearsals Vol. 1)" Whom Records (Whom-SGR-1A/1B). No count, the intro. fades in.

200 numbered copies on blue vinyl with a rubber stamped cover and rear insert. The alternate guitar version first surfaced on OBR releases in January, 1993.

An unfinished track with potential. A meandering little country song with just the right amount of Telecaster "twang". Arguably a stronger number than Far Away Eyes. Tasteful piano lines fill the voids. Jagger seems pleased with the track as they're going through it, and they went to the extent of experimenting with two different versions by altering Ronnie's guitar track.

"Some Girls" outtake from Pathe Marconi, Paris, January 5 - March 2, 1978 sessions.

+ Slow "growling" version with Jagger calling-out "one more (line)" on the verses (2:27)

"All Mixed Up" Outsider Bird Records OBR (RS-033 A/B). First 60 LP's on multicolor splash with basic color pink; splash white, black, and blue. Numbers 61 to 180 on "shocking" pink vinyl.

* "Rolling Stones: Paris Rehearsals" 2LP Whom/Gimme Shelter Music (SGR-3 A/B), Marbled gray/blue/yellow/green colored vinyl

The Stones challenged by punk rockers like the Sex Pistols, The Clash, and Ramones. Getting slagged for the first time as being out-of-date. They prove that they aren't with songs like this and the energized and inspired "Some Girls" album. Richards sounds great towards the middle-end of the song, just a bit hard to understand. This should have been released as a b-side in the late Seventies/early Eighties.

Jagger rehearsing with Ian Stewart on Piano. We hear Jagger with the original Rolling Stone, who would have been a Stone had it not been for Andrew Loog Oldham. The track is rollicking boogie woogie piano as only "Stu" can play it. Recorded at Pathe Marconi, Paris, January 5 - March 2, 1978 sessions.

"Rolling Stones - Paris Results" Outsider Bird Records (PR 1 A/PR-1 B). 200 numbered copies on blue vinyl.

"Rolling Stones - Paris Results" Outsider Bird Records (OBR-CD 93-001). 500 numbered copies with a red rubber stamped cover.

"The Rolling Stones Better Results" Outsider Bird Records (TTFLT 305 023-1 U456) 300 numbered copies with a blue rubber stamped cover.

Notice how the piano riff evolves into a rolling groove after Jagger's coaxing of Stewart at the half-way point in the song. There is also a light drum cymbal playing along and slight bass drum stomp.

"Some Girls" outtake from Pathe Marconi, Paris, January 5 - March 2, 1978 sessions.

3rd Version: ** The same vocal and instrumental as (*). The guitar mix is very different and favors the rhythm rather than the leads. Additional lead lines are also over dubbed in the introduction section of the song. Both "lead" and "rhythm" mixes are brilliant. (3:51)

* A tape of Pathe Marconi outtakes circulated with this song soon after the release of "Some Girls".

First surfaced on this LP circa 1979. Negative photo shot of vintage 1978 Jagger/Richards. Maybe the inspiration for the thermographic photography used on the "Emotional Rescue" cover. This is an alternate shot to the one seen on the cover of the 1980 "Emotional Rescue" issue of "Relix" magazine. The song plays fast and slightly out of pitch.

* (Disk 3, track 6)"Hot Stuff Vol. Two: In Studio" Great Dane Records 4CD book packaging with color booklet. (9P1950124901, 9P1950124902, 9P1950124903, 9P1950124904)

Swamp rockin' boogie! Coolest chops since Dance Little Sister. Never commercially seen the light of day. What A Shame. Similar to Break The Spell from "Steel Wheels", except it's a much stronger track. Chalked full of names and numerology, which is a bit unusual for Stones lyrics. Jagger delivers a strong vocal with just the essential edge of raspyness. Billy Dean is quite a character, and would clearly fit in with the crowd at the Voodoo Lounge!
