For this sale auction.THIS VERY RARE ALBUM GETTING VERY HARD TO FIND NOW. THE ROLLING STONES / SOME GIRLS . THIS ONE HAS THE Uncensored inner sleeve which was withdrawn after a very short period THIS ONE HAS ALL THE FACE'S ON.
The Stones wrote this about the women in their lives, mostly groupies. Richards said they called this "Some Girls" because they could never remember their names.
The line "Black girls just want to get f--ked all night" caused an uproar. American civil rights leader Jessie Jackson called for a boycott of the album. Mick Jagger apologized for the line, but refused to re-record it.
This wasn't the first Stones song that outraged feminists. "Brown Sugar" and "Under My Thumb" were also considered degrading to women. The Stones defended this by saying it was a parody of stereotypical attitudes.
This was the second Stones song that was also the album title. "Let It Bleed" was first.
The Stones considered this a dirty version of The Beach Boys' "California Girls."
The album cover was a parody of a newspaper ad for wigs, but the women wearing the wigs were celebrities like Raquel Welch, Lucille Ball, and Farrah Fawcett. They had to remove the famous women when faced with a lawsuit.
Before they edited this down, it was 24 minutes long. Many of Jagger's outrageous ramblings were cut.
Sugar Blue (real name: James Whiting) played harmonica on this track. An American Blues player, he also worked on Emotional Rescue and Tattoo You. Someone from The Stones record company found him playing in the Paris metro, and brought him to these sessions, where he fit in well with the band.

EXCELLENT: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.
