Story & Background

"Some Girls", a first pressing from 1978, is a collector's item not only for its gritty music, but also for its infamous cover, which became legendary for the wrong reasons. The original edition featured a 1950s-style die-cut collage, conceived by artist Peter Corriston, with the heads of the band members superimposed over those of female celebrities such as Lucille Ball, Raquel Welch, Marilyn Monroe and Liza Minnelli. The problem? None of these women, or their heirs, had given their consent. Immediate legal threats followed from the lawyers of celebrities such as Lucille Ball and Raquel Welch. The record label was forced to quickly recall and re-press the album with a modified cover, removing the disputed faces and replacing them with other images or colour tints. The very first pressings with the complete faces, like the one you possess, are today highly sought-after items, authentic testimonies to one of the most celebrated controversies in the history of album covers, which cemented its status as a cultural icon.
