So Abbey Road and Stones are finally remastering Some Girls. They also have some version of Exile coming out, along with Sticky Fingers. It's confusing because Abbey Road just did a half speed remaster of Exile a few years ago. It got mixed reviews. I have it and find it pretty good. I prefer my original US though. Anyway, back to Some Girls, I'm happy that this is finally getting a new treatment. I've had my shares of copies and they all seem to have something wrong with them. I hear the Dutch orange version is the best, but I've never tracked it down. So here's the link for those that are interested. It's strange how they describe the lineage, but I interpret it as 'digital'. But on Amazon it's $18 bucks and 180 grams, so what the hell, that's dirt cheap for the Stones. https://shop.abbeyroad.com/Vinyl/*/Some-Girls-Half-Speed-Master/6HD600000KW
Holy crap! No kidding? Haven't seen any reviews yet but AllMusic (couldn't find it on Discogs) says it was recorded at Palo Alto High School (AKA "Paly") a rival school where I grew up (I went to Cubberley). Crazy! Does it say what year recorded. This blows my mind. I'll have to check this out.
EDIT: I see it's a pre-order. Will look forward to hearing more about it.

Description from Jazzwise-
"In the autumn of 1968, a sixteen-year-old boy named Danny Scher had a dream. He wanted to bring Thelonious Monk and his quartet to play a benefit concert at his high school in Palo Alto, California, in order to raise funds for his school and to help bring about racial unity in his community.
Armed with little more than a telephone, a persuasive pitch, an impressive knowledge of jazz and an iron-willed determination, Scher made the concert happen on Sunday, 27 October 1968. The concert was also recorded and lay, forgotten, in the vaults – until now.
On 31 July, Impulse! Records will release the previously unheard and unreleased High School recording in its entirety, via DSPs, on vinyl and on CD and vinyl.
The vibrant 47-minute set spotlights Monk’s steady touring band (tenor saxophonist Charlie Rouse, bassist Larry Gales and drummer Ben Riley) and features his basic touring repertoire. Included in the mix is Monk’s lyrical love song ‘Ruby My Dear’; a spirited ‘Well You Needn’t with solos by all bandmembers; the pianist’s captivating solo reading of ‘Don’t Blame Me’ by Jimmy McHugh; an epic dance through ‘Blue Monk’; and a playful charge through ‘Epistrophy’ (available as a single now).
The show ends with a truncated encore of the 1925 Tin Pan Alley hit tune by Rudy Vallée, ‘I Love You (Sweetheart of All My Dreams)’ and after a standing ovation, Monk saying his goodbyes because they had to leave to make their San Francisco date that evening."

OH man! First half of my senior year in high school. Knowing what I know now, I'd have cut class and hoofed it over to Paly. Where's a time machine when you need one!

Another must have Miles: Jack Johnson
That and Bitches Brew are VERY different from Kind of Blue. I feel like it's a whole different genre.

Are you just getting into jazz? If so, Bitches Brew may not be the right next record. It's very different. KOB is modal jazz whereas Bitches is experimental, avant garde. The next step for you might be something like John Coltrane "Blue Train" or "Love Supreme". They are closer to the modal sound, although a bit more faster paced.

Good plan!
That and the other three are all I have. Any other favorites?

Anyway, back to Some Girls, I'm happy that this is finally getting a new treatment. I've had my shares of copies and they all seem to have something wrong with them. I hear the Dutch orange version is the best, but I've never tracked it down.
So here's the link for those that are interested. It's strange how they describe the lineage, but I interpret it as 'digital'. But on Amazon it's $18 bucks and 180 grams, so what the hell, that's dirt cheap for the Stones. https://shop.abbeyroad.com/Vinyl/*/Some-Girls-Half-Speed-Master/6HD600000KW

My lyrics are in french though. So my copy must be - from france.
"In the autumn of 1968, a sixteen-year-old boy named Danny Scher had a dream. He wanted to bring Thelonious Monk and his quartet to play a benefit concert at his high school in Palo Alto, California, in order to raise funds for his school and to help bring about racial unity in his community.
Armed with little more than a telephone, a persuasive pitch, an impressive knowledge of jazz and an iron-willed determination, Scher made the concert happen on Sunday, 27 October 1968. The concert was also recorded and lay, forgotten, in the vaults – until now.
On 31 July, Impulse! Records will release the previously unheard and unreleased High School recording in its entirety, via DSPs, on vinyl and on CD and vinyl.
