Here you have the UK 1st release, of the 1978 Some Girls Album by the Rolling stones with the die-cut cover revealing celebrities printed on the inner cover. 

The album is Stamped ‘STIRLING TJ’ on both sides, then the matrix number is etched on the A side CUN 39108 A3U and further round it is stamped PP. On the B side CUN 39108 A3U and further round it is stamped GDP.

The labels and inner carry the release number ‘CUN 39108’, and on the top right corner of the back cover the fuller matrix appears, ‘CUN 39108 and 0C 064-61 016*, with the 064-61 016 boxed.

Condition is conservatively VG+ for the vinyl. Vinyl has full gloss and just 3 or 4 fine hairlines. It plays fab on my B&O setup. The cover is at least VG+ just a small bit of creasing on the outside corners – see pictures. The insert is EX+

Vinyl weight is 122 grams. The faces are uncensored. The colour banding has fully bright colours, from top to bottom: green, yellow, pale blue and pink. On the inner the celebrities’ lips are red. Some of the long haired celebrities’ have bright yellow hair. The dress, bottom right, and the dog bottom left are also bright yellow. The flip of the insert has celebrities pictured in black and white. It says Made in Great Britain on the labels.

The cover art became the source of legal action when some of the celebrities whose faces were used threatened to sue the Stones’ for using likenesses without permission. The list of angry celebrities included Liza Minnelli (her late mother Judy Garland appeared on this version), Lucille Ball, the estate of Marilyn Monroe, Farrah Fawcett and Raquel Welch. This led to this version being withdrawn and later versions had blank spaces where those celebrities appeared

As already mentioned, this version is STIRLING TJ stamped in the run out, the TJ meaning it was mastered by the legendary Ted Jenson who mastered Hotel California for the Eagles, Norah Jones Come away with me and Green Day’s American idiot and many more classic albums
