Some Girls

Introduction

When The Rolling Stones' album "Some Girls" came out, I didn't give it any time, mainly because the lead single "Miss You" was pretty dire, and I still find it pretty dire.

I now collect vinyl that should be music I like, but interesting artwork is also an attraction for me, and "Some Girls" has an interesting cut ot front cover.

The Cover

I found that the original cover was pulled, and wondered how much a copy would be. I got it for a fiver.

This is the Wiki entry for the cover:

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 first printing of the album was censored as The Rolling Stone lawyers could not get permission to use those actors' images. 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

Conclusion

These are the songs that impressed me, and it is said that this was their best since "Exile on Main Street". I didn't skip any songs, but the only one I don't like is "Miss You"; I can see me playing this album a lot from now on.
