June 9, 1978 – The Rolling Stones Release Some Girls, Their First Studio Album

The Rolling Stones released Some Girls. It was their first studio album recorded with Ronnie Wood as a full member.

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.
