This is a remarkable example of the 1978 UK first pressing of The Rolling Stones' masterpiece, Some Girls, a pivotal release that saw the band embrace the energy of the New York punk and disco scenes. This specific copy is a high-calibre collector's item, featuring the distinctive A 3 M / B 3 N matrix identifiers and the revered STERLING TJ stamps in the runout. These markings confirm the record was mastered by the legendary Ted Jensen at Sterling Sound, a detail that audiophiles consider the "gold standard" for this album's punchy, analogue playback.

Adding to its rarity is the die-cut picture sleeve in the scarcer colour band variation of Pale Yellow, Blue, Pink, and Green, finished with the Red "Some Girls" title. Most significantly, this set is complete with the original withdrawn uncensored inner sleeve. This round-cornered version includes the celebrity images - such as Marilyn Monroe and Farrah Fawcett - that were famously removed following legal disputes almost immediately after the initial release, making this "celebrity" version a cornerstone of any serious Stones collection.

In terms of condition, this copy is graded as EX/EX. Both the sleeve and the vinyl are in excellent, clean condition. The record retains a brilliant lustre with only light signs of previous play, ensuring a high-fidelity listening experience. The withdrawn inner sleeve is clean and well-preserved. It has a split on the bottom edge. This is a definitive, collector-grade copy of a classic 1970s rock rarity.
