Lot 415
Banned Rolling Stones Album Cover Signed by Jagger, Richards, Wyman, Watts, & Wood. Album cover for "Some Girls" released in 1978 and signed in blue felt-tip pen by Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Bill Wyman, and Charlie Watts; Ronnie Wood signed with a red felt-tip pen. The cover, designed by Peter Corriston, is die-cut, featuring 20 different hair styles with the faces cut out and green, yellow, blue, and pink strips. The song titles are listed on the back album between bra ads from the 1950s. The album is present and the sleeve pictures celebrities, including Lucille Ball, Raquel Welsh, Judy Garland, Farah Fawsett, and Marilyn Monroe, whose faces show through on the cover, making them look like drag queens. The women threatened to sue when the album came out, so the old covers were destroyed and a new cover had to be designed. Minor edge wear. Purchased from the private collection of former Chicago "groupie" Carlos Alberto, who obtained signatures from private signing parties and concerts.
Estimated Value $700 - 900.
