Like I said in my post re archival releases, much as I want to blame ABKCO (and they don't put good info in their cd's), they are legally hamstrung by the legal situation from the 70s.
I also seriously disagree with your labelling the mop heads as inferior. The Beatles and The Stones are both @#$%& brilliant.

Oh, I love the Beatles and they were brilliant. And I'm not bull**itting - I already have Abbey Road ordered. But in the age old "Beatles or Stones?" argument, I always go to our boys. I'd much prefer to fork over $110 for a legitimate "Let it Bleed" box.

Surely, they're not good at making celebrative editions. Just to name one, I can't seen the reason why they've left blank the B-side of 'Sympathy For The Devil' bonus 12"
instead of filling it with the rare alterate version of 'Street Fighting Man' available in Italy, New Zealand, USA and possibly other few countries.

Why didn't they at least release LIB with CS-blues as a bonus single? It was officially published by mistake on some german compilation in the '70's,

Recorded after LIB was released.
But, they are including 1970 photos in the book, so sure, why not music too.

Isn´t that the original/regular 1968 7" version?

Yes, I know, that it was recorded af the release of LIB, but it would have been appropiate to include the last studio recording for Decca/ABKCO as a bonus on the last studio album.

The different alternate rough mix was released only on initial US copies, innItaly and in New Zealand. The most of the US singles play the ‘normal’ version.
One has to know the matrices to recognize the early US copies.

Yes, but isn´t it the same as on the 2002 Singles Collection The London Years and the 2016 mono box?
That´s what I call the original/regular 7" version.
It was also released here in Sweden in 1968 (albeit in a UK export press).

Even if The Stones were taking the piss at ABKCO by writing and recording that track?

Yes of course. Those to be offended are dead, aren't they? And it could have added a bit promotability, couldn't it?

Indeed. Would have been interesting to hear Jody's thoughts on that

I'm sure the Stones probably have some blame too - Mick never really seems to thrilled to go back to this stuff. I guess in defense of that though, most of these rarities have been around for years and probably because the Stones let some of them leak out, so I guess we should just be happy to have them although they are not as great sounding as they might be.
It sure is frustrating though to see those Beatles albums getting such amazing treatment and we get this lame release.

I very much doubt that Dylan gets very involved in the Bootleg series (other than presumably having a final veto); likewise Paul and Ringo in respect of The Beatles archive releases.
So, Mick could easily get his Management team and some recording engineers to work on Stones material.
If Macca can delegate...I am sure Mick and Keith can.They would have the final word, after all (for post 71 material).

That might send the wrong message. The message that the market for expanded, carefully researched, re-releases of "golden age" albums is dead.
