The Rolling Stones’ archives are full of hidden gems, and Do You Get Enough? is a perfect example. An early version of Don’t Be a Stranger, this playful track was recorded during the Some Girls sessions in France, January–March 1978. With Ian Stewart’s piano and Bill Wyman’s marimba adding a jaunty, experimental vibe, it’s a peek at the Stones in their raw, creative phase. You can almost hear the band laughing, swapping riffs, and testing ideas that never made it to the album—proof that even their unreleased tracks have stories worth discovering.

Do You Get Enough?

Sometimes the hidden corners of The Rolling Stones’ archives are more revealing than the hits themselves. Take Do You Get Enough?, an early version of Don’t Be a Stranger—originally titled as Feel No Pain No More. Recorded during the Some Girls sessions at EMI-Pathé Marconi Studios in Boulogne-Billancourt, France, between January 5 and March 2, 1978, this track never made it to the official album. But that’s part of the charm: you get a peek at the Stones in the raw, tinkering phase. With a jaunty piano and marimba groove, thanks to Ian Stewart and Bill Wyman, it’s playful, experimental, and undeniably fun. You can almost hear them laughing in the studio, trying out ideas, swapping riffs, and wondering whether this one would click with fans. It’s a snapshot of creativity in motion, a side of the Stones that rarely made it beyond the tape reels.

Studio antics and hidden tracks

The Some Girls sessions were notoriously electric, a mix of work and play. The band would jam, swap instruments, and explore rhythms that sometimes went nowhere—or, in the case of Do You Get Enough?, somewhere completely unexpected. Tracks like this show that even in the late ’70s, the Stones were still experimenting, pushing their sound while balancing humor and serious musicianship. Martin Elliott’s book The Rolling Stones Complete Recording Sessions 1962–2012 paints a vivid picture of these creative bursts, and listening to this unreleased gem, you can practically feel the energy.

Why unreleased matters

These hidden recordings aren’t just curiosities—they reveal the Stones’ process, their willingness to take chances, and their sense of musical adventure. Fans get a backstage pass to ideas before they were polished into hits, and that’s a thrill you can’t get from the standard albums. Do You Get Enough? is proof that even the “discarded” tracks have stories worth hearing, riffs worth savoring, and moments that make you appreciate just how inventive The Rolling Stones really were.
