Cardboard cover sleeve for a 12 inch long-playing record of The Rolling Stones 'Some Girls'. The design incorporates reproductions of pictorial advertisements for American wigs. The faces of those modelling the wigs have been removed by die-cutting, so as to reveal portraits of the band (printed on the inner-sleeve) in a humorous fashion. Lettered with titles and credits.

| Gallery label | LPs could also be playful. Complex record sleeve designs allowed people to customise the cover image, like 'Some Girls' and Led Zeppelin III albums. The paper sleeve inside Sgt.. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band was printed with a moustache and military epaulettes, designed to be cut out and worn. The design treatment echoes the way the album itself was an uninterrupted, complete work of art.(2019) |
