Why This Record Is Special

This is the most collectible version of Some Girls:
A SEALED 1978 Original US First Press with the banned celebrity-face die-cut cover — pulled shortly after release due to legal issues with unauthorized images of Farrah Fawcett, Lucille Ball, Raquel Welch, and others.

Finding any intact banned-cover first press is hard. Finding a SEALED copy? Almost unheard of.

This is one of the top-tier Stones vinyl collectibles of the late 1970s.

First Pressing Identifiers

This sealed copy corresponds to the true 1978 US OG, which includes:

• Catalog #: COC 39108

• Original die-cut cover with celebrity faces in the wig/cosmetics ad design

• First-print banned artwork (withdrawn shortly after release)

• Rolling Stones Records yellow tongue logo (period correct)

• Pressed and distributed by Atlantic in the U.S.

While sealed, the catalog number and construction of the cover confirm first-press authenticity.

Why the Banned Cover Matters

The original artwork featured real female celebrities’ faces in the die-cut windows of the sleeve. Due to legal complaints, later editions replaced them with colored shapes or alternate images.

The first press banned-face covers are now highly sought after because:

• They were only available for a short initial run

• Many were opened, replaced, or destroyed

• Surviving sealed copies are museum-worthy rarities

Album Highlights

Some of the Stones’ most energetic late-70s tracks:

• “Miss You”

• “Beast of Burden”

• “Respectable”

• “When the Whip Comes Down”

• “Shattered”

A mixture of rock, disco-influenced grooves, and snarling punk-era attitude.

Collector Value

A sealed banned-cover first press of Some Girls is one of the most desirable late-70s rock LPs, coveted by:

• Rolling Stones collectors

• Rock museum/archive curators

• First-press and banned-cover specialists

• Investors focused on high-grade sealed OG vinyl

This is a blue-chip rock collectible with long-term value upside.

We conservatively grade our records.
Record grading:

• Mint (M): Absolutely perfect in every way, likely never played, and still sealed.

• Near Mint (NM or M-): Nearly perfect. The record shows no obvious signs of wear and looks as if it was just opened. No visible marks or scratches.

• Very Good Plus (VG+): Shows slight signs of use, such as light scuffs or very minor scratches, but plays without any major deterioration in sound quality.

• Very Good (VG): Noticeable wear with some surface noise, light scratches, or groove wear, but still plays through without skipping.

• Good/Good Plus (G/G+): The record plays but with significant surface noise, scratches, and wear. The cover may have visible damage or splits.

• Fair/Poor (F/P): The record may be damaged and is barely playable. Typically used only for highly collectible records.

Cover grading: 

• Mint (M): The cover is flawless, with no signs of wear. Often still sealed with no corner dings, creases, or ring wear.

• Near Mint (NM or M-): The cover looks almost new, with only the slightest signs of handling. There may be very minimal wear, but no significant flaws like writing, splits, or tears.

• Very Good Plus (VG+): The cover shows light wear, such as minor scuffing, small corner creases, or slight ring wear. No major damage, but a well-cared-for album with minor imperfections.

• Very Good (VG): Moderate wear is visible, including ring wear, light edge or corner damage, small seam splits, or slight discoloration. Still presentable but clearly used.

• Good/Good Plus (G/G+): The cover shows significant wear, such as noticeable ring wear, seam splits, heavy creasing, or writing. It may still hold together but looks heavily worn.

• Fair/Poor (F/P): The cover is heavily damaged, with major seam splits, tears, extensive writing, water damage, or severe ring wear. It may barely hold together or be incomplete.
