Technically ABKCO has released a very little amount of compilations considering what they could have been doing.
And then I'm not even going to mention Decca in England, and how they released the most horrible compilation after another!

Worth mentioning this early Decca release (1964) which only came out in Germany and France, I think :

Only Germany and earlysixties70's in Holland and maybe other countries, never saw this one as a compilation ... isn't this one the same as other releases only an other sleeve?
I have the first '64 German release out of 7 I think ...bought from my Sister for 5 guilders (2.10 Euro)

There were some terrible ABKCKO compilations after the Stones left Klein, but one I really like is "No Stone Unturned". Lots of great B-sides like "Child Of The Moon" and things like "Who's Driving Your Plane", "Surprise Surprise" and "Congratulations". Oddly, it works for me as a legitimate Stones album.
Again, Klein had nothing to do with the Decca compilations from England in the seventies. Maybe he was greedy, but ABKCO has only released 9 or 10 compilations over the years.

Me neither...I always considered this as an official (German) release... vind de voorkant trouwens mooier dan de achterkant

Can DECCA still issue pre 1971 material or is it all ABKCO now?

I have the recently issued Rolled Gold +, which shows ABKCO and Decca

Yes I thought Decca were still in on the act somehow, even if its ABKCO who own the master recordings.

That German "compilation" AROUND AND AROUND is a wonderful one, and I think it should as an "official" album in that market (as much, say, 12x5 in US market). At the time when I started to collect Stones albums here in Finland in early 80's that one was circulating everywhere. For a young 'completist' it was a bit oddity since any official book didn't say anything of it (all of them were based on UK/US discography). So I guess it was originally released in Scandinavia too (?). It is actually made of UK singles and EPs. It nicely filled the DECCA album catalog, like being the missing link between THE ROLLING STONES and THE ROLLING STONES NO. 2.
I wonder what the story of the album is? Was it that German market - like USA - wasn't good for EPs, so they preferred LP form?. Or since their first EP wasn't yet available in central Europe, around the time they relaesed their second EP in UK, they decided to 'use' the opportunity and release it with the previous EP to make a whole album?

Here is a real goody and of course it´s long out of print. I guess there are some songs on it that aren´t even available on CD to this very day:

Also, "Tell Me (2nd version)" recorded at Chess is, in fact, "Tell Me Baby (How Many Times)" a previously unreleased track. The Rest Of The Best is the only time this track has been made available. Probably included by "mistake".
