THE ROLLING STONES – Some Girls – Vinyl LP 1978 Original Celebrity **read Descr!. Condition is "Used". Shipped with USPS Media Mail.
album cover for Some Girls was conceived and designed by Peter Corriston, who would design the next three album covers,[3] with illustrations by Hubert Kretzschmar.[9] An elaborate die-cut design, with the colours on the sleeves varying in different markets, it featured the Rolling Stones' faces alongside those of select female celebrities inserted into a copy of an old Valmor Products Corporation advertisement. The cover design was challenged legally when Lucille Ball, Farrah Fawcett, Liza Minnelli (representing her mother Judy Garland), Raquel Welch, and the estate of Marilyn Monroe threatened to sue for the use of their likenesses without permission.[3] Similarly, Valmor did take legal action and were given a monetary award for the use of their design.[10]
The album was quickly re-issued with a redesigned cover that removed all the celebrities, whether they had complained or not. The celebrity images were replaced with black and punk style garish colours with the phrase Pardon our appearance – cover under re-construction. Jagger later apologised to Minnelli when he encountered her during a party at the famous discothèque Studio 54. The only celebrity whose face was not removed was ex-Beatle George Harrison. As with the original design, the colour schemes on the redesigned sleeves varied in different markets.
A third version of the album cover with the hand-drawn faces from the original Valmore ad was used on the 1986 CD reissue
