This is a high-calibre original 1978 UK first pressing of The Rolling Stones - Some Girls, released on the Rolling Stones Records label (CUN 39108). This specific copy is a standout for both audiophiles and historians, featuring the scarce colour variation sleeve with pale yellow, blue, pink, and green bands and the red title text.
 

Crucially, this set is complete with the original withdrawn uncensored inner sleeve. This rare round-cornered variant features the celebrity faces—including Lucille Ball, Marilyn Monroe, and Farrah Fawcett—that were famously removed following legal disputes shortly after the initial release.
 

For the listener, this pressing is the "gold standard," featuring the Sterling TJ stamps in the runout. These signify the lacquer was cut by the legendary Ted Jensen at Sterling Sound, widely considered the finest-sounding mastering of this album. With A 3 U / B 3 U matrices, this record delivers the punchy, high-fidelity analogue sound required for tracks like “Miss You” and “Beast of Burden”.
 

The condition is graded as EX/EX-. The die-cut sleeve and the rare inner are in excellent, clean condition, with only a very tiny, neat split on the side of the inner sleeve. The vinyl retains a brilliant lustre with only light surface marks, making this a collector-quality example of one of the band's most controversial and sonically impressive 1970s releases.
