BTB and TSMR are the Stones Revolver and Pepper. Unfortunately the Stones could not fly as high during the BTB period, pop wise, as the Beatles. Exceptions being Have You Seen Your Mother, Ruby Tuesday, Back Street Girl, She Smiled Sweetly, and Let's Spend the Night Together. A song like Miss Amanda Jones sounds out of place and out of time, more like a B side from an earlier era.
BTB would have worked much better with the great singles of the time included on it, like Ruby/Mother/Night Together, pushing aside weaker stuff like All Sold Out and Please Go Home. Those singles would also have made the album stronger thematically.
Same goes for Satanic. We Love You and Dandelion could have pushed out nonsense like Gomper and 2000 Man.

Frank Zappa liked the US version...
3. Between The Buttons: The Rolling Stones. The American release – I don't like the English version so much because it contains a totally different set of tunes. I understand that they don't like the album very much but I thought that it was an important piece of social comment at the time. I remember seeing Brian Jones very drunk in the Speakeasy one night and telling him I liked it and thought it superior to Sergeant Pepper ... whereupon he belched discreetly and turned around.

TSMR is obviously Stones' Pepper. But I'm not so sure that BTB is their Revolver, to me BTB sounds more like Stones doing a Kinks album. It's an o.k. album, but forced and with no standout tracks (the british version), except for the charming Something happened to me yesterday (a Kinksy vaudeville). In that respect it is weaker than TSMR, which contained magnificent tracks like 2000 light years from home (which Bowie must have heard quite a lot) and She's a rainbow and a couple more. The american version of BTB contains the singles and that really improves it. But it's still mainly the stones as kinks-bes.

I had to listen to BTB a couple of times before liking it actually. It's almost more "Kinks" than Stones in some ways and also shows how versatile they were as song writers/arrangers back in the day. To me BTB and TSMR is far more interesting to listen to than anything they recorded after 69.
...and of course it's Brian on piano on Ruby Tueday. Otherwise he wouldn't have played the part in that clip from italian TV.

?? If Keith had played that simple piano part on italian tv, it had to be him on the album as well?

If... but, he didn't.

No, but it's not a very reliable proof that Brian did, either

No it's not, but it certainly, in addition to some other stuff like him being credited in 40 licks, makes it seem more likley that it was him.
