Item Description
28.5" wide by 52.5" tall die-cut display featuring image of voluptuous, topless woman holding original The Rolling Stones 1978 album "Some Girls." The album cover for "Some Girls" was designed by Peter Corriston. An elaborate die-cut design with colors varying on different sleeves, it featured The Rolling Stones and select female celebrities in garish drag as well as lingerie ads. 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 It was withdrawn and the offending pictures removed, replaced with final album version which had die-cut holes and The Rolling Stone faces covering womens' faces. Centerfold is partially split along with 2" surface paper tear. Front shows some adhesive staining from repair, back has masking tape repair. Would benefit from further restoration. Scattered edge wear with some scattered color rubs, most noticeable on dark areas of girl. Aside from fold problems, still displays Fine. One of the nicest Rolling Stones store displays right down to their trademark tongue logo on woman's panties. Rare.
