Vinyl Condition: NM | ROLLING STONES RECORDS - COC 39109 - USA

Cover Condition:  NM | In Shrink With Insert

Original Sleeve:  Yes  
Item:   Original 1978 "SOME GIRLS" first pressing vinyl with the UNCENSORED withdrawn/banned custom designed gimmix cover ... The cover was completely re-designed when several of the Hollywood stars used for the cover threatened lawsuit unless their images were removed, as follows:

The elaborate die-cut cover design, with colors varying on different sleeves, featured The Rolling Stones in garish drag alongside select female celebrities and lingerie ads. The cover immediately ran into trouble when Lucille Ball, Farrah Fawcett, Liza Minnelli (representing her mother Judy Garland), Raquel Welch, and the estate of Marilyn Monroe threatened legal action. It was withdrawn and the women's likenesses removed. Jagger later apologized to Minnelli when he encountered her during a party at the famous discothèque Studio 54.

The ROLLING STONES most aggressive, sarcastic album -- with lots of punk influences, that we have not heard since the Stones beat-punk sixties. All said, there are lots of memorable songs -- these guys out-rock anybody on the block with this, their heady dose of sleaze 'n' roll that constitutes their last great album and one of the last great albums of rock's last great decade.

"Miss You" is pop mania, a track that's both irresistibly catchy and moodily evocative; "When the Whip Comes Down" is smart and sleazy and one of the album's real highlights; 'Just My Imagination' is a brilliant reinvention, "Shattered" is Jagger at his strutting best …. Every track is a triumph of style and a fulfillment of renewed purpose. Too bad it would be the last time the Stones' style had a renewed purpose….This is also the one and only time that the twin guitar attack of Richards and Wood is given its full due on record: Wood's slide guitar adds a whole dimension of hookiness over Keef's gnarled riffs, lending the whole proceedings a cool, breezy quality that belies the filthy decadence of the songs, which after all are a country-fried bit of Motown going down on the Bowery. As for Mick, well, he's in finer than usual fettle, here, sneering and jeering his way through his group's most aggressive set of songs, all the while maintaining a sharp ear for the hook. And this is, for certain, the shining hour for one of rock's greatest drummers, Mr Watts, who plays fast and loose and sloppily clicks his sticks against the rims and reinvents the hi-hat all over again. And did I mention Bill Wyman's heroically stoic bass lines, which are often the songs' strongest elements?

Grading Information Below

Grades for vinyl :
M : new, un-played, perfect, usually sealed.
NM: like new but possibly carefully played a limited amount of times. Should play near perfect with almost no noise or imperfections. May show very faint imperfections from paper scuffs or tiny needle marks.
EX : as above with a few light needle marks, or a few light surface scuffs, and/or lightly audible marks. A very nice used record.
VG+:  between VG and EX, shows some scuffs and light scratches but no deep scratches and should definitely play through without skips or jumps but will likely play with some pops and ticks.

VG : still showing gloss but lots of small scratches and scuffs or some light groove wear. This is a used, played record that may have a skip, may have light surface noise throughout, pops, ticks, and maybe some light distortion/sibilance. Depending on availability, I do not consider VG to be a complete junk grade.
VG- to G : a record in less than VG condition generally plays poorly but I feel is still worth offering due to rarity.
Grades for covers:
M : perfect. like new, no wear, square flat corners, solid seams, spine etc., Usually sealed
NM : overall appearance of front and back near perfect but may have a very small problem such as a small corner ding/couple tiny spine chips, but nothing noticeable without close inspection.
EX : as above, nice "Strong-Solid" feel, but may have more spine wear, a bent or dinged corner or two, very light ring wear, any other issues such as splits, tears, hole punch, or moisture will be mentioned.
VG+:  Between VG and EX, no major seem splits over a an inch or two, no major water damage.  Edge chipping and smaller splits possible, ring wear, and small name or writing possible but should be noted.
VG: still has a nice overall appearance, but may have the following defects: seam splits, spine splits, small tears, ring wear, writing, stains, water damage, stickers etc. in various degrees.
Please also note that the majority of sleeves do have some sort of split in them and we do not measure or mention splits in inner sleeves. If you are concerned with the splits of inner sleeves please ask.
