The album cover for the Rolling Stones album Some Girls (1978) was a collaborative effort involving the design by Peter Corriston and illustrations by Hubert Kretzschmar. Kretzschmar recalled the album originally had the working title "Lies." The two would design the band's next three album covers. For Some Girls an elaborate die-cut design, with the colours on the sleeves varying in different markets, it featured the Rolling Stones' faces alongside those of select female celebrities inserted into a copy of an old Valmor Products Corporation advertisement. The first printing of the album was censored as The Rolling Stone lawyers could not get permission to use those actors' images. The cover design was challenged legally when Lucille Ball, Farrah Fawcett, Liza Minnelli (representing her mother Judy Garland), Raquel Welch, and the estate of Marilyn Monroe threatened to sue for the use of their likenesses without permission. Similarly, Valmor did take legal action and were given a monetary award for the use of their design. The album was quickly reissued with a redesigned cover that removed all the celebrities, whether they had complained or not.
