I want to let you know that it was me that edited this Wikipedia entry to include the fact that there had, indeed, existed, a version of the
Some Girls cover art that did not use the cutouts.

However, all that aside, I still want to know who came up with the third version of the cover art I am mentioning. Meaning, did Peter Corriston still design the front art as he had the previous two versions of it?
I also want to say now that despite the non-use of the cutouts on the cover of the third version, the artwork on the inner sleeve was still the one used for the second version of the album art ("PARDON OUR APPEARANCE - COVER UNDER RE-CONSTRUCTION").
Anyways, I know it's the first version with the real women on there that seems most desirable by Stones collectors, but the third cover art seems rather elusive despite its existence.
