This is a distinctive and highly collectible example of the 1978 UK first pressing of The Rolling Stones' Some Girls. This specific copy stands out for its unique combination of visual and technical attributes, most notably the A-4U / B 1 U matrix configuration. As with the finest 1st pressings, the runout features the STERLING TJ stamps, signifying the expert lacquer cut by Ted Jensen at Sterling Sound. This mastering is renowned for its depth and clarity, perfectly capturing the gritty, disco-influenced rock aesthetic the band pioneered during this era.

The die-cut picture sleeve on this copy features the eye-catching colour band sequence of Pale Pink, Green, Yellow, and Blue, uniquely paired with the Blue "Some Girls" title text. This variation is a specific target for collectors looking to complete the full spectrum of original 1978 sleeve iterations. Included is the original withdrawn uncensored inner sleeve. This rare, round-cornered variant famously features the likenesses of Marilyn Monroe, Lucille Ball, and Farrah Fawcett - images that were quickly removed from later production runs due to legal challenges, cementing this version as a significant piece of rock history.

The condition is graded VG+/EX. The vinyl is in excellent, clean condition, showing only a few light signs of play and maintaining a superb gloss. The sleeve is well-preserved and clean, noting only minor wear at the top edge of the spine, while the rare inner sleeve remains in great shape with just a small split at the bottom. This is a fantastic, authentic copy of one of the 1970s' most essential and controversial LPs.
