On this day (July 5) in 1978, the manufacturing of Some Girls by The Rolling Stones was halted at EMI's pressing plant after celebrities featured in mock advertisements on the album sleeve - including Lucille Ball, Farrah Fawcett, Liza Minnelli (representing her mother Judy Garland), Raquel Welch, and the estate of Marilyn Monroe - threatened legal action.
The album was quickly reissued with a redesigned cover removing all the celebrities (whether they had complained or not), replacing them with punk-style garish colors and the phrase "Pardon our appearance, cover under reconstruction." (*Mick Jagger later ran into Liza Minnelli at Studio 54 and personally apologized.) Notably, the only celebrity whose face was not removed was former Beatle George Harrison. Valmor Products also took legal action and received an undisclosed cash award for unauthorized use of their ad design.
A little controversy never hurt anyone. Except maybe their legal bills.
