June, 9th 1978.
Release date of Some Girls album.
It was thirty years ago !
My first Rolling Stones LP (just owned some K7 before this purchase).
The last "classic" album of the band, as important as Sticky Fingers, Let it Bleed or Aftermath.
Of course Tattoo You was a classic one, but not really an album, it was like an outtakes best of.

my 2nd favorite Stones album. So different from Exile, and so good, and by the same band.

Ditto

The Stones album that made me a fan.

Maybe its sentimental reasons which see it edge Sticky Fingers as my 2nd fave Stones album, but it still holds up brilliantly three decades on.

great great record for me indeed.  i just wish i had the origional record cover because i heard if it is in good shape it could fetch up to 4-5 g's...i used to play this on record over and over and had to buy extra copies.  i mush have burned thru 4-5 of these.  i think they changed the origional cover shortly afterwards... same art work but with different colors

i still listen to it.....when the whip comes down is a cranker....especially when your speeding down the thruway.

:wtf1

I've the original and I would doubt that very much, to be honest. Considering the shitloads it sold before they were forced to change it.

They didnt change the colours and keep the artwork - the whole point of the change was that some of the featured celebrities demanded that their images be removed or altered.

the classic rock station here in poughkeepsie had this record collector guy on a few years back and that was what he quoted and this is why i say this.  i bet if it had the origional cover and shrink wrap and the little round red sticker on it that reads 6.99, i wouldn't doubt it.  

It's a very good record, but I'm not going to pretend that its one of my absolute favourites. Its their 4th best 70's album, IMO, yet perhaps, the best Ronnie era release alongside the superior Tattoo You.

I don't know what it is really that stops me from fully embracing a record that so many here love so much. I think that perhaps the songs don't quite grab me as they perhaps should. The late 1970's is hardly a favourite music period for me anyway. I own very few records from the end of that decade.

You make Joey very sad .

Punk Rock kicked both ' The Rolling Stones ' AND ' The Who ' up the arse and as a result both bands produced some of their finest work in a long time :

Some Girls

Who Are You

" The 1970's are BACK Ronnie !!! "


J " Snuggles " Fly !

Oh I like Some Girls..but excluding Exile..  

Sticky and Bleed will always come before!!

Some Girls is great and make me a Stones fan at my early years, is some of a come back album IMHO. But still not the best ..

Yeah my sister has the original album, I remember being told it had 666 all over it and sure enough 9.99 upside down, spooky huh?

We're gonna come around at twelve With some Puerto Rican girls that are just dyin' to meet you. We're gonna bring a case of wine Hey, let's go mess and fool around You know, like we used to"

God I love that song, and I love this album.  Thirty years?  I can't believe it.  I was a teen back then.  This was when I fell in love with the Stones.  :)

spooky?


In the cool of the evening
When everything is gettin kind of groovy
I call you up and ask you if you
Would you like to go with me and see a movie
First you say no, you've got some plans for the night
And then you stop, and say, all right
Love is kinda crazy with a spooky little girl like you

You always keep me guessin
I never seem to know what you are thinkin
And if a fella looks at you
It's for sure your little eye will be a-winkin
I get confused, cause I don't know where I stand
And then you smile, and hold my hand
Love is kinda crazy with a spooky little girl like you
Spooky

If you decide someday to stop this little game that you are playin
I'm gonna tell you all what my heart's been a-dyin to be sayin
Just like a ghost, you've been a-hauntin my dreams
So I'll propose on Halloween
Love is kinda crazy with a spooky little girl like you

Spooky, spooky, oh whoa, all right
Spooky, oh yea yea
I said Spooky yea yea

Some Girls is overrated. They're all excellent songs but they just don't work well on the same album. All the songs are just A to D. Boring and repetitive imo. The guitars in the rockers are too thin and weak as well.  But it's a whole different story when the songs are played live ;)

The best drum sound on any rock album ever.  Great, cohesive LP thematically, absolutely essential to the Stones myth of eternal rebirth and relevance.  

I will be more than happy to sell my original for four or five grand if anyone's buying.  But more likely you'd just want to go ahead and pick, say, this one up.

Unbelievable that it has been 30 years already.

I might add that these sessions produced some of the best bootlegs/outtakes of their career, IMHO.

I will 2nd that comment towards the outtakes.
I just completed a review of "Girls, Pills & Powders", a five
cd set.  This achieves a 5 out of 5 on the Wicked Pissah measurement scale...

My first Rolling Stones LP !!!!!
Having notice that 30 years are passing , this make a lil bit sad...

We're all old. :wtf1

What women objected to being on the cover?

Lucy, Raquel Welch, some other ole buzzard!

Damn that's hard to believe! 30 years. Where does the time go?! I bought Some Girls the day it came out. I got it at JC Penny. Still have it, and it's in great shape. I too highly doubt the price is in the thousands for an original. It's really not that rare, and I would reckon that an original Sticky Fingers would be a harder find. Or even an original Satanic Majesties. However, I am proud of the fact that I do have an original with all the photos. If memory serves it was Lucille Ball that started raising all the hell and then Farrah Fawcet joined in on the bitching with Jackie O's people chiming in as well.

I wasn't into albums so much back then but I did by the Miss You single, the 45 RPM version. Now I've got the 10" disco version too!

according to wikipedia :

"The cover immediately ran into trouble when Lucille Ball, Farrah Fawcett, Raquel Welch, and the estates of Judy Garland and Marilyn Monroe threatened legal action. It was withdrawn and women's likenesses removed..."

I think Jagger said in an interview that one or two of the actresses (ie Raquel Welch) didnt object to being on the cover per se, but objected to the picture that was used!

Rev. Jackson always complains when he can get some publicity. He's a race hustler. Imagine if he actually cared enough to protest after every hip hop record came out with objectionable lyrics.

Humour is not the characteristic of religious people, apparently, (black, white or others).

Not when there's money on the line!

LOL! Yes Raquel was indeed one of the blithering bitches. I always loved the way that Jagger handled the Jesse Jackson crap. "If you can't take a joke then fuck off!", and, paraphrasing here, "It has always been me experience that the line that pisses him off is based on fact. Perhaps my facts, and not his!"


Jagger used to really try and be edgy back in those days while trying to out punk the Pistols, etc.


Riffy

Jesse Jackson is such an assclown he must be related to Jacko.I have the original Some Girls too but not worth a lot as there are many around.I do have the original Sticky Fingers with working zipper and the yellow label side one appears on both sides so thats rare as a mis labelled LP I suppose.

If anyone has a mint copy of the Beast of Burden 45, with picture sleeve, you
are sitting on some good change....I speak from experience...

:o 30 years sheesh where does the time go?

This was my 1st stones album and I think it probably is my favourite, I enjoyed its representation on SAL.

They don't make'em like that anymore :'(

If they released it today, it would be large! Great album indeed.

" If they released it today, it would be large! Great album indeed "


I would like to nuzzle you .

A good Some Girls original goes from 10 - 20 bucks, a good Sticky Fingers original goes for between $15 - $20, a good Satanic Majesties stereo original between $40 and $60 and a Beast of Burden PS is about a $2000 record.  

Go figure.

Wonder what my original never played Satisfaction single is worth? Was 12 years old from Canada and bought 2 for 39 cents each in downtown Cleveland.Man I was a traveller....That was all the money I had then....Priceless....

Repetitive? With songs as diverse as Miss You, Far Away Eyes, Shattered and Beast of Burden?

I absolutely love the guitar sound on Some Girls. As good as it ever was IMO. Bill also never sounded better (especially on Miss You) and as Nasty says, the best drum sound ever. What does that leave? - Mick? The high watermark of his career as a writer. ..and he sings the shit out of everything in sight.

A masterpiece from beginning to end, with the best outtakes of any Stones album and a terrific non-album b-side on "Everything is turning to gold" (one of the most underrated songs theyve ever done).

When I'm in Boulogne-Billancourt in two weeks time I shall kiss the ground outside Pathe Marconi Studios.

It's pretty uncommon for some reason.  Most were released w/o.  Goes for a couple bills.  

The 45 proper in a stock sleeve?  $15.  $20 tops if it's super cherry.  And you had a pigeon.

Hey Nasty just out of cuiosity. What's the rarest of Stones records as far as collector items are concerned? I'd be curious to know if the Stones ever had a "Butcher" type album cover ala The Beatles. A friend of mine has the Butcher cover in great shape. I had heard that some of those were actually recoverd with the more common version of Yesterday and Today. This one is not a "peeled" version and it's worth some serious coin.


Riffy

If we're talking US domestic releasage then the Stones' 'Butcher cover' (legendary collectable withdrawn for controversial reasons worth wads of cash) would have to be the US issue of the picture sleeve for Street Fighting Man.  In fact, it's much more valuable than the butcher cover (I have been dealt three butcher covers in my career (all peelers), but never even HOPE to see this picture sleeve).

http://i199.photobucket.com/albums/aa8/drfilth867411/320104638453.jpg

Withdrawn because it was considered too violent and anti-establishment, with only a couple dozen copies, probably taken out of the printers where they were made before they were destroyed known to exist, the last copy that sold on-line, which was not in "mint" shape at all, went for over 15 grand.  

The above picture sleeve posted by Nasty Habits is valued in $12,000 USD by Jerry Osborne's guide to records
