The Rolling Stones "Some Girls" COC-39108 ultra-rare pastel, 1978 factory-sealed 1st-pressing promotional (die-cut with celebrity faces) Monarch-pressing.  The Monarch presses are generally considered to be the best sounding of all the Stones' pressing plants, and the pastel covers with "Some Girls" in red print is a tough one to find.  These first pressings did NOT have the round MISS YOU hype-sticker.  Priced to go.

Packaging and Artwork History and Scandal:

The album cover for Some Girls was designed by Peter Corriston, who would design the next three album covers as well, with illustrations by Hubert Kretzschmar. An elaborate die-cut design, with colors varying on different sleeves, it 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.

 The album was quickly reissued with a revised cover that removed all the celebrities whether they had complained or not, and were replaced with black and punk style garish colors with the phrase Pardon our appearance - cover under re-construction. Jagger later apologized to Minnelli when he encountered her during a party at the famous discothèque Studio 54. The only celebrity whose face was not removed was that of ex-Beatle George Harrison. A third version of the album cover with hand-drawn women was found on the 1986 CD reissue.
