This is the original/1st pressing US release is the uncensored version which was withdrawn shortly after its release to be replaced by a censored version, COC39108.
The album cover for Some Girls had concept origination, art direction and design by Peter Corriston. It features a unique die-cut design and shows 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. Similarly, Valmor did take legal action and were given a monetary award for the use of their design.
That is what makes this so rare! The album was quickly re-issued with a redesigned cover that removed all the celebrities whether they had complained or not, and 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 that of ex-Beatle George Harrison.
Smoke free home, will ship as soon as payment is made.
Thanks for looking!
