Pressings of the album cover for "Some Girls" by The Rolling Stones were halted when some of the celebrities whose faces appeared on the cover, including Lucille Ball, Farrah Fawcett, Liza Minnelli (representing her mother Judy Garland), Raquel Welch, and the estate of Marilyn Monroe, threatened to sue. The sleeve was quickly replaced with a cover that removed all the famous folks, whether they had complained or not.

That's an interesting story. I always wondered why the cover has holes in it. Not all of them line up with an image on the insert like with Physical Graffiti.
