I´m sorry, but you are wrong about where the photo is taken. It´s from LA, proof is here, courtesy of stonerelics:

So what you're saying, or said, is that ABKCO purposely printed up different versions of The Singles Collection or it turned out that perhaps early pressings had the 45 mix of Street Fighting Man? I've never heard a different version of the song studio wise. Officially that is. Heard Paid Their Dues but never a different mix of Street Fighting Man.

ABKCO released a boxed set called "The Singles Collection-The London Years" in 1986. This boxed set used the stereo Lp track of "Street Fighting Man".
The same set was reissued in 2002 with some differences, one of them being that the original mono 45 mix was used. This same mono 45 mix (which has a noticeably different and odd vocal mix, probably issued as a mistake) was used in their more recent boxed set of singles "1968-1971"

I don't know what the attraction to the mono single version of SFM with the delayed/repeated vocal is? It sounds horrid.

FYI, that I've got a Finnish version of SFM 7" single.
F22825 (XDR 43220 & XDR 43221)
A-side: SREET FIGHTING MAN (yes, T is missing)
B-side: NO EXPECTATIONS
Made in Finland, Oy Finnlevy Ab, 1968.
And this one's got different vocals. Sounds like double vocals. Sadly the sleeves are missing

A 1971 'maxi-single" was released by Decca in the UK which featured Street Fighting Man, Surprise Surprise, and the STEREO mix of Everybody Needs Somebody To Love (the version found on the UK LP "Rolling Stones No. 2"). This was the first and ONLY official release of this song in stereo!
