but i am struggling to understand the term "racist" being used against people in a manner where it was never proven or demonstrated, from what i saw at least, that the "offenders" main intent was to commit a racially motivated 'crime'

The cover of Sucking In The Seventies is excellent! It's hilarious! It's such a bizarre compilation. I love it. It's one of my faves. I know Keith looked at it as 'record label' mettling but you, eh, I'll leave that one alone.
I'm glad for it. I listen to it a lot actually. It might be their best in a strange way.
And the cover is excellent - a giant pair of BALLS!

A pity, though, about how on that comp Time Waits For No One was faded out before the Mick Taylor playout really got going--perhaps they [the Stones] held a grudge against Taylor, for leaving, the way his name was "airbrushed" out of Clapton's 1986 Grammy presentation for lifetime achievement--I mean, what's the sense in listening to Time Waits without listening to those excellent guitar lines that frankly make the song work from 3:27 to 6:43?

No, no, no. It was simply too long for the compilation. It was the same case with Beast Of Burden, Fool To Cry and others. Edited as hell. It's got nothing to do with Taylor.

There's only one track on Sucking in the 70s which is not edited; Shattered. Everything else is

Even the When The Whip Comes Down live take is edited.
If Dance pt. 1 is edited is hard to tell...

It is those two songs why I bought the album at the time (or was there "Everything's Turning to Gold?" as well - probably not since I worked quite hard to get "´Shattered" single to get that one), but haven't much listened the album ever since. Weren't some of the editions based on the single versions, instead of album ones?

Yes all of them were based on single version, apart from Shattered; and if memory serves; some of them were "radio promo edits" and not the standard single version
Everything Is Turning To Gold is there, that's true. Together with Whip LIVE and Dance part 2, I have played that album a lot over the years, though I usually don't care much for compilations

For some reason it's probably the compilation I've played the most, too - together with Rolled Gold.

Mine is probably the late 70's K-tel realease BEST OF THE ROLLING STONES, covering their 60's hits. That's the album that introduced me to ´"Satisfaction", "Paint it Black", "Jack Flash", "Honky Tonk", etc´. but unfortunately I sold it to my friend, when I had all the material in other releases. Since then I think BIG HITS and THROUGH THE PAST, DARKLY has been my most listened 'official' compilations (with NO STONE UNTURNED and FOR COLLECTORS ONLY). I Never have had ROLLED GOLD or HOT ROCKS volumes, and before FORTY LICKS I didn't own any "Rolling Stones Records" era compilation expect SUCKING IN THE SEVENTIES. I never have had a drive being a completist in compilations, and I think MADE IN THE SHADE, REWARD (or what is called the 84 collection?) or JUMP BOX didn't offer anything extra, since I already had all the songs. In this sense I see those two classic 60's compilations (BIG HITS and THROUGH THE PAST, DARKLY) almost as substantial as their studio albums, and the most 'authentic' medium to have those classic single hits.
But I just bought with five Euros the recent Dressmann collection HOT STUFF, and I think its is a very good collection of the songs from STICKY FINGERS on (the only strange minus is that it lacks "Brown Sugar"). I could recommend that as a good introduction into post-Decca era (much better at least than what is offered in FORTY LICKS)

One doesn't have to listen to Turning To Gold closely to hear how that track was severly edited. They really took the knife to that track.

No, ThE BEST OF THE ROLLING STONES was just a compilation made for Finnish markets, it back cover was written in Finnish, etc. The front cover was the cover of "Jumping Jack Flash" single. I recall it was advertised in television at the time (1979?) when I wasn't any kind of Rolling Stones fan, and probably just knew their name (but one song in that advertisemt made an instant impact on me. And some two yaers later I would recognize it as "Paint It Black" - which funnily I actually first get to know in STONE AGE - a 'classical' albúm in 'some' sense).
K-Tel is some odd record company that made compilation albums (by different artists) in Europe at the time. STORY OF THE STONES is one of those (made for German market?), Someone here obce I remember knew much of that. I guess there is Wikipedia...

K-Tel sold records here in Canada too, in the 70's. One of the first records I ever bought was some K-Tel compilation when I was about 9. their commercials were everywhere on tv, and the albums, with their garish "only in the '70s" covers, were drug store staples.
Daniel Boone? WTF?? who the hell was that? not the lumber jack guy

In the 70s K-Tel releassed alternately a double album, and then 2 individual albums, as The Rolling Stones Greatest Hits, (Vol. 1 & II in the case of the individual releases) all stuff from the 60s DECCA/London/ABKCO years.
Nothing to astonishing, just another compilation sold via TV commercials.
