‘
Some Girls’ was the 14th British and 16th American studio album for the Rolling Stones. It was released in 1978 and was the first album that included guitarist Ronnie Wood as a full-time member of the band.
This release soared through the charts topping the Billboard 200 as the Number One album. It went on to become the Stone’s best-selling record in the US and earned the band a Grammy nomination in the Album of the Year category.
The cover art was was conceived and designed by Peter Corriston with illustrations from Hubert Kretzschmar. The colors on the sleeves had several variations, depending on the market the album was sold in.
Then 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 Lucille Ball, Farrah Fawcett, Liza Minnelli (on behalf of her late mother Judy Garland), Raquel Welch and the estate of Marilyn Monroe.
The legal pressure forced a quick re-issue that saw the album cover redesigned with the celebrity faces removed, including those that did not launch legal action. Beatle George Harrison’s face remained but all the others were replaced with black and punk style colors. The wording “Pardon our appearance – cover under construction” was added to more or less explain the somewhat unpolished look of the cover.
