ROLLING STONES SOME GIRLS LP 1st PRESSING w/BANNED COVER 1978 COC 39108
This album has been in storage for the last 35 years in a cool, smoke-free environment. As you can see from the photos, it's in excellent condition. Visually under bright lights, the vinyl looks very clean. But I am not an expert. PLEASE SEE PICTURES FOR CONDITION.
The album cover for Some Girls was conceived and designed by Peter Corrison. An elaborate die-cut design, with the colors on the sleeves varying in different markets, it featured the Rolling Stones' faces alongside those of select female & male celebrities inserted into a copy of an old Valmor Products Corporation advertisement. The cover design was challenged legally when Lucille Ball, Farrah Fawcett, Liza Minelli (representing her mother Judy Garland), Raquel Welch and the estate of Marilyn Monroe threatened to sue for the use of their likenesses without permission. Similarly, Valmor did take legal action and were given a monetary award for the use of their design. The original cover was quickly withdrawn and a newly designed innersleeve without the celebrity faces was launched. Even later releases were made without peep-holes and with hand-drawn sketches on the cover.
This is the original uncensored cover in Green-Yellow-Blue-Red (bright colors)
B/W (Liza Minnelli) side of inner sleeve has COC 39108 in right upper corner. And that code also appears on both sides of the record label.
From a smoke and pet-free home.
