Notes
Some Girls is the fourteenth UK and sixteenth US studio album
by the English rock band The Rolling Stones,
recorded 10 October 1977 – 2 March 1978 and
released on 9 June 1978 by Rolling Stones Records.
Performed by:
Mick Jagger – lead vocals (all but 8), backing vocals (1–3, 6, 8–10), electric guitar (1–5, 7), piano (6), percussion (10)
Keith Richards – electric guitar (all tracks), backing vocals (1–3, 6, 8–10), acoustic guitar (4, 6, 8, 9), bass guitar (4, 8), piano (6), lead vocals (8)
Charlie Watts – drums (all tracks)
Ron Wood – electric guitar (all but 6), backing vocals (1–3, 6, 8, 10), pedal steel (2, 6, 10), acoustic guitar (4, 9), bass guitar (10), bass drum (10)
Bill Wyman – bass guitar (1–3, 5–7, 9), synthesiser (4)
It was the first album to feature guitarist Ron Wood as a full-time member; Wood had contributed to some tracks on the band's prior two albums, It's Only Rock 'N Roll (1974) and Black And Blue (1976).
The cover of the original album was a die cut with peep-holes so you could see the faces of members of Rolling Stones and female celebrities pictured on the innersleeve. Shortly after release the cover was withdrawn due to legal issues and a new designed innersleeve without the celebrity faces was launched. Even later releases were made without peep-holes and with hand-drawn sketches on the cover.
At least there are 15 known variations of cover/innersleeve so beware to list your LP correctly.
Below are some issues you should consider:
a) check catalogue #
b) check country
Even if catalogue # and country match your album there are other parameters to consider:
c) Is your innersleeve uncensored? (with celebrity faces)
d) Or is the innersleeve censored? ('Pardon our appearance.... under construction')
e) Or is the LP without peep-holes?
The uncensored and censored versions were released with different variations of the colour-band on the cover.
1) Green-Yellow-Blue-Red (bright colours)
2) Yellow-Blue-Red-Green (bright colours)
3) Blue-Red-Green-Yellow (bright colours)
4) Red- Green-Yellow-Blue (bright colours)
5) Yellowish-Bluish-Reddish-Greenish (pale colours) ('Some Girls' title typed in red)
6) Reddish-Greenish-Yellowish-Bluish (pale colours) ('Some Girls' title typed in blue)
Some later releases were made without peep-holes.
There are 2 known versions with hand-drawn sketches and with these colour bands:
7) Green-Yellow-Blue-Red (bright colours)
8) Yellowish-Bluish-Reddish-Greenish (pale colours)
Furthermore, a 180 gram release without peep-holes and with a photocopied cover of a censored version has been released Some Girls.

Reviews
referencing Some Girls (LP, Album) COC 39108
Top notch. Great bluesy sound, iconic Stones. Beast of Burden, Miss You, and Shattered are enough to make it an essential pick - then add the wit and cleverness of the die cut jacket. Bought it used - mine has a tiny bit of crackle on the lead in. Still an excellent sounding record.- This record sounds amazing. It’s super punchy and the band comes alive out of my speakers. It’s a loud cut so that makes the music very impactful.
Beautiful groovy side of the stones! - Does anyone know if the mix sounds any different to that of the 2009/2011 remastered (with extra tracks) edition on A&M?
- I’ve heard a lot of hot pressings . But this pressing , no doubt about it, is THE greatest pressing of any album ever . It is absolutely out of this world . Whether you like the Stones or not , the sound of this album is something that all audiophiles should experience . Unbelievable . Truly unbelievable
referencing Some Girls (LP, Album) ESS-81050
Excellent pressing. Just goes to show you that there are Japanese pressings out there are real gems. This of course uses the US mastering but also in comparison to my other late 80s US press this absolutely blows it away. The US pressing I have actually has way more treble and the drums are fatiguing and distracting. I don’t have an original US to compare to but since they are the same mastering can’t imagine it’d be this. This is my go to for my favorite stones albumreferencing Some Girls (LP, Album) 7C 064-61016
Great Stones album from 1978, and this Sweedish pressing sounds great too.referencing Some Girls (LP, Album, Reissue) FC 40449
I have a promo copy of this CBS reissue (1986) which sounds great and in the league of my 1978 US Monarch 1st. Might even say it sounds clearer than the Monarch if not as much punch but not deficient in punch either. Not the best recorded album so this is a welcome find even if it doesn’t have the panache of the 1978 1st with the original sleeve. Worth buying for as cheap as you can find these. I paid $15 for this promo.
