Product Description

Rare Actual 1978 Japanese First Pressing Of Classic Rolling Stones LP ~ Still In Top Condition! Very Novel Die-Cut Cover With Original Inner Sleeve Featuring All The Celebrity Photos Which Due To Legal Issues Were Removed After The First Pressings. Includes 4-Page Insert With Lyrics In English & Japanese. 

Condition — Vinyl: NEAR MINT!

Condition — Cover: NEAR MINT! Amazing condition for an LP that is over 42 years old!!

The featured female celebrities Lucille Ball, Farrah Fawcett, Raquel Welch, and the estates of Judy Garland and Marilyn Monroe took offence to their images being used on the sleeve and threatened legal action. Stock was recalled and the cover altered to cover their faces. Only the first batch of ‘Some Girls’ made it onto the shelves for sale.

Japanese vinyl pressings are highly sought after by audiophiles and collectors, due to their beautiful packaging and premium sound quality (which explains why American audiophile label Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab chose to have their highly regarded pressings manufactured in Japan). Near Mint condition original Japanese pressings are becoming scarcer ~ therefore more collectable and valuable every year.

    AMG – February 5, 2015

    During the mid-'70s, the Rolling Stones remained massively popular, but their records suffered from Jagger's fascination with celebrity and Keith's worsening drug habit. By 1978, both punk and disco had swept the group off the front pages, and Some Girls was their fiery response to the younger generation. Opening with the disco-blues thump of "Miss You," Some Girls is a tough, focused, and exciting record, full of more hooks and energy than any Stones record since Exile on Main St. Even though the Stones make disco their own, they never quite take punk on their own ground. Instead, their rockers sound harder and nastier than they have in years. Using "Star Star" as a template, the Stones run through the seedy homosexual imagery of "When the Whip Comes Down," the bizarre, borderline-misogynistic vitriol of the title track, Keith's ultimate outlaw anthem, "Before They Make Me Run," and the decadent closer, "Shattered." In between, they deconstruct the Temptations' "(Just My) Imagination," unleash the devastatingly snide country parody "Far Away Eyes," and contribute "Beast of Burden," one of their very best ballads. Some Girls may not have the back-street aggression of their '60s records, or the majestic, drugged-out murk of their early-'70s work, but its brand of glitzy, decadent hard rock still makes it a definitive Stones album.

    'Some Girls' introduced a whole new generation to the music of the Stones. The infectious dance groove of "Miss You" topped the US charts, as did the album in 1978. Both releases also made the Top 3 in the UK, where the country-flavoured "Far Away Eyes", featuring Ronnie Wood on pedal steel guitar, enjoyed substantial airplay. Peter Corriston's striking cover design, controversial at the time, remains a classic.
