The Rolling Stones released Some Girls, the first album featuring Ron Wood as a full-fledged member, on this day in 1978. Wood had played on the previous two Stones albums, It's Only Rock 'n Roll and Black and Blue. The songs on Some Girls were culled from nearly 50 tracks the newly invigorated band had recorded, some of which later appeared on Emotional Rescue and Tattoo You, the band's 1980 and '82 releases.
