Rolling Stones "Some Girls" deluxe edition coming

^^I'll be more exact ANF.

I saw the program heralding Philips breakthrough on DVD's a year before they came out. At that time they were only scratching the surface of the capability of the format. However the TV's and Surround Sound amps were behind. Over the next few years they caught up and established 1080i as the HD standard. And a couple of years after that Blu-Ray came out and made all our "HD" stuff obsolete and it wasn't ten years more like 2 or 3. Would have been even faster if Toshiba hadn't launched their own version of HD that competed with Sony but in the end Blu-Ray won out. My new PC plays Blu-Ray movies and yes they are better than DVD, but I am not bothering upgrading my collection at this time because there is a NEW improved format coming out within 3 years, most likely it will be in the Computer market first then move into home entertainment next.

Some Girls - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The album cover for Some Girls was designed by Peter Corriston, who would design the next three album covers as well, with illustrations by Hubert Kretzschmar. An elaborate die-cut design, with colors varying on different sleeves, it featured The Rolling Stones in garish drag alongside select female celebrities and lingerie ads. The cover immediately ran into trouble when Lucille Ball, Farrah Fawcett, Liza Minnelli (representing her mother Judy Garland), Raquel Welch, and the estate of Marilyn Monroe threatened legal action. It was withdrawn and the women's likenesses removed. Jagger later apologized to Minnelli when he encountered her during a party at the infamous discothèque Studio 54.

The revised cover removed all the celebrities whether they had complained or not, and were replaced with black and punk style garish colors with the phrase PARDON OUR APPEARANCE - COVER UNDER RE-CONSTRUCTION. There also existed a third version of the album cover with hand-drawn women. A fourth amended version that included Carly Simon, Linda Ronstadt, Britt Ekland and Jimmy Carter in drag was not published.

^^That's setting it straight...boy it doesn't seem that long ago to me.

I remember the Stones getting a lot of stick for "selling out" on that record,,,,I never felt that way and as I said earlier I like the record more now than I did when it came out.

I actually picked it up for $2.99 with the original unaltered cover not too long ago.

I love the idea of these sets, but I do not like the $$$$ that they want for them. Something like $50-75 IMO is fairly reasonable, but once we get over $100, I think its corporate greed at its worst. Complaining about how bad sales are but taking advantage of those who still give money to the industry by taking them for a huge ride. I remember someone on Amazon did the math with the Exile box set that costs $150-200 where you go and it came out that without the book and postcards, its valued around $66 if you bought the DVD, remastered 2-CD and vinyl remaster seperately... so you're paying anywhere from $84-134 just for the book and postcards? Usually the big set should come as a better deal than buying the things separately (kinda like if you buy a box set of a whole film franchise vs. buying the movies separately)... not a premium higher price. Record label greed BS.

1990? haha. Late 1979, Some Girls came out a year before I was born but I was alive (but not old enough to remember) for Emotional Rescue and Tattoo You.
