Released in June, 1978, the cover of Some Girls immediately attracted controversy when Lucille Ball, Raquel Welch, and the Estates of Judy Garland and Marylin Monroe threatened legal action. The sleeve was withdrawn and the offending pictures removed. The premliminary artwork in this lot and the following lot features the original, controversial pictures. In 1994, Some Girls was remastered and reissued by Virgin Records, with a restoration of the original cover art and the first pressing being packaged in a replica of the original vinyl packaging. In 2003, the album was ranked number 269 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.
