Early Pressing with "Contains the single Miss You" COC 39108 Sticker SEALED Pink Top with Blue Pastel Letters US Issue Catalog Number: COC 39108 First Pressing / First Release Rarest Variation No Cuts, Slices or Holes 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 colours 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. "On the original album there were old-fashioned film stars, but because we were stupid and never got permission from them, we got stopped a lot from using them," explains Stones frontman Mick Jagger. Other versions of the Some Girls cover art were then created--one with hand-drawn generic women, another with '70s celebrities like Carly Simon, Linda Ronstadt, Britt Ekland, and even President Jimmy Carter in drag (the latter of which of course never saw a commercial release). But the version most Stones fans have in their record collections is probably the one with all faces removed and a "Pardon Our Appearance - Cover Under Reconstruction" banner slashed across it ("as if the cover were a Manhattan department store doing renovations," according to liner - notes author Anthony DeCurtis).
