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.

What women objected to being on the cover?

Lucy, Raquel Welch, some other ole buzzard!

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 It was withdrawn and women's likenesses removed..."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.

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.

Reply #34 - Jun 9^th, 2008 at 11:24am 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.

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 Wink

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.

Yep:

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.
