The Rolling Stones – Some Girls

Some Girls is the fourteenth UK and sixteenth US studio album
by the English rock band The Rolling Stones,
recorded 10 October 1977 – 2 March 1978 and
released on 9 June 1978 by Rolling Stones Records.

Performed by:
Bill Wyman – bass guitar (1–3, 5–7, 9), synthesiser (4)

It was the first album to feature guitarist Black And Blue (1976).

The cover of the original album was a die cut with peep-holes so you could see the faces of of Rolling Stones and female celebrities pictured on the innersleeve. Shortly after release the cover was withdrawn due to legal issues and a new designed innersleeve without the celebrity faces was launched. Even later releases were made without peep-holes and with hand-drawn sketches on the cover.

At least there are 15 known variations of cover/innersleeve so beware to list your LP correctly.

Below are some issues you should consider:

a) check catalogue #
b) check country
Even if catalogue # and country match your album there are other parameters to consider:

c) Is your innersleeve uncensored? (with celebrity faces)
d) Or is the innersleeve censored? ('Pardon our appearance.... under construction')
e) Or is the LP without peep-holes?

The uncensored and censored versions were released with different variations of the colour-band on the cover.
1) Green-Yellow-Blue-Red (bright colours)
2) Yellow-Blue-Red-Green (bright colours)
3) Blue-Red-Green-Yellow (bright colours)
4) Red- Green-Yellow-Blue (bright colours)
5) Yellowish-Bluish-Reddish-Greenish (pale colours) ('Some Girls' title typed in red)
6) Reddish-Greenish-Yellowish-Bluish (pale colours) ('Some Girls' title typed in blue)

Some later releases were made without peep-holes.
There are 2 known versions with hand-drawn sketches and with these colour bands:
7) Green-Yellow-Blue-Red (bright colours)
8) Yellowish-Bluish-Reddish-Greenish (pale colours)

Furthermore, a 180 gram release without peep-holes and with a photocopied cover of a censored version has been released Some Girls.
