The Rolling Stones’ reissue of 1978′s Some Girls comes with an added bonus: “No Spare Parts,” a previously unreleased track from the time the album was recorded, will hit stores as a limited-edition vinyl single. Listen to the track below:

The mid-tempo, mostly acoustic track has a similar feel to other classic Stones ballads like “Wild Horses,” with Keith Richards’ rhythm guitar and Mick Jagger’s vocals carrying the bulk of it.

It’s also a strong indication of the depth Ronnie Wood added to the layers of music when the band brought him aboard in 1975.

The new mastering and layers of effects on the vocals and electric guitar also gives the song a more modern feel, even though it was recorded in the 1970s. The limited-edition vinyl single, which will also include “Before They Make Me Run” as a B-side, is due out November 21.

The reissue of Some Girls will also include unreleased tracks called “We Had It All,” “I Love You Too Much” and “Don’t Be a Stranger.” What do you think of the “new” Rolling Stones track “No Spare Parts?” Let us know in the comments section.
