Some Girls is the fourteenth studio album (sixteenth American album) by The Rolling Stones, released in 1978. It is generally considered to be (alongside Tattoo You) the last classic Stones album, and marks the first full-length appearance of Ronnie Wood. Songs like "Miss You" and "Beast of Burden" became international hits.The album is equally known for its cover, featuring the faces of the band members in cut-out heads along with the faces of several famous Hollywood actresses. There are three versions of the cover, as detailed under Alternate Album Cover.The album reached #1 in the US and #2 in the UK, and received a Grammy nomination for Album of the Year (the only Stones album to do so).

Face on the Cover
 Some Girls (Music) / int_1f37a427
comment
Face on the Cover: The band is shown on the album cover, though with their faces in women's heads (with added lipstick). There are other famous faces in the cover, but only George Harrison remains in later prints, as Lucille Ball, Farrah Fawcett, Raquel Welch, Judy Garland's daughter Liza Minnelli (to whom Mick Jagger later apologized) and the estate of Marilyn Monroe sued for unauthorized usage, and thus later reissues feature an Alternate Album Cover with those faces cut out and the gaps filled with the text 'Pardon our appearance – cover under re-construction'.

Take That, Critics!
 Some Girls (Music) / int_3e5f74c
comment
Take That, Critics!: Some Girls was a very deliberate response to critics who had dismissed them as outdated in the face of Punk Rock and disco. It paid off big time both critically and commercially, and the Stones pointed out that numerous punk rockers had grown up listening to them. It's also helped that they've absorbed many different music styles over the years, while still retaining their core blues-rock sound.

Mistaken for Racist: "Some Girls" caused protest among some groups for the supposedly racist lines: "black girls just wanna get fucked all night" and "Chinese girls are so gentle,they are such a tease". Jagger commented it was just meant as a parody, a fact Saturday Night Live comedian Garrett Morris commented on:

Shout-Out

Shout-Out: The original cover layout shows the band members' faces cut-and-paste super-imposed over famous Hollywood actresses' faces. We can recognize Marilyn Monroe, Farrah Fawcett, Judy Garland, Raquel Welch, Eartha Kitt, Lucille Ball, Brigitte Bardot and Elizabeth Taylor. This backfired when Fawcett, Ball, Welch, the Monroe estate and Liza Minnelli on behalf of her late mother Judy Garland threatened legal action, forcing the album to be withdrawn and the cover altered for all subsequent pressings and reissues.

Design Student's Orgasm: The album cover, designed by Peter Corriston and Hubert Kretzschmar. It took an old cosmetics advertisement and changed some of the faces to both famous women (who sued, hence them being The Blank in reissues) and the Stones in garish drag (the inner gatefold makes it clearer◊). A 1986 reissue just had the original ad with the new text.◊

Alternate Album Cover: The standard cover for Some Girls features the faces of the band members in cut-out heads along with the faces of famous Hollywood actresses. When Lucille Ball, Farrah Fawcett, Liza Minnelli (who didn't appear on the cover, but her late mother Judy Garland did), Raquel Welch, and the Marilyn Monroe estate threatened legal action, the album was quickly reissued with a revised cover that had their faces replaced on the sleeve with a message reading: "Pardon our appearance. Cover under re-construction." A third version removed the censored heads and those of the band members and uses generic faces to make the cover appear like a wig ad.
