Decembers Children a proper studio album? L to the O to the L.

That's how it's ranked. Like it or not.

December's Children is a US compilation, with a couple of live numbers thrown in - how can it be ranked a US studio album (as it indeed is...)?
"Drawn largely from two days of sessions recorded in September to finish the British edition of Out of Our Heads and to record their new single—"Get Off Of My Cloud"—December's Children (And Everybody's) also included tracks recorded as early as 1963".
- Bassist Bill Wyman quotes Jagger in 1968 calling the record "not an album, it's just a collection of songs."

Because it contains newly recorded material. A comp. like Flowers doesn't.
It's no different than the UK "Out Of Our Heads" which has songs like Heart Of Stone, released a whole year earlier in the US.

My point is that all early Stones albums, be it UK or US are a hodge podge of different sessions. All of them were put together by Andrew and The Stones.

Excluding the debut, the hodge podge aspect is far more extreme on those few US albums up to Aftermath. Despite what ALO said I doubt the stones were all that involved, if at all, in the track choice of those albums.
Things do become more in sync by Aftermath, but Flowers kind messes that up.
The 60's UK albums, EP's and singles are the more logical and chronological representation of the ongoing development of their music.

I don't see it like this at all. I see "midpoint" being just that... 25 years after Come On, so, 1988. After all, it's halfway through their career as "recording artists", right?
So first half of their recording career - 20 studio albums.
The second of of their recording career - 4 studio albums.
Plain and simple.

So we've got estimates on the half way point on
Albums,
Songs,
Concerts,
Relationships,
Any guess as to the half way point on earnings?
My guess is that they've made over half their money after 1994.

Brian probably played the Bo Diddley-esque guitar on Please Come Home on Between The Buttons.
Of course, he played guitar during 1967 European tour.
There's some pretty bad guitar playing by Brian for a few takes of The Lantern on the Satanic Sessions box sets. Here it is... Brian on acoustic guitar.
At some point he moved on to playing Hammond organ isntead, and, well, he plays that just as badly. Must have been monged.
There's his scrappy, but authentic sounding slide guitar playing on Still A Fool.
...
Regarding Beggars Banquet...
Brian also contributed tamboura on Street Fighting Man.
The mellotron on Stray Cat Blues comes in during the first "Oh Yeah!" section on the right speaker. Brian initially loosley follows Keith's rhythm during that part, but during verses jarring chords are laid down which get faded in and out. He used the same mixed brass sound as on We Love You.
I ought to have a real close listen and do a little demonstration. What is audible during the pre breakdown section is pretty wonky compared to the basic B chord vamping later.

There were *seven* studio albums before Let It Bleed.
The Rolling Stones
The Rolling Stones No. 2
Out Of Our Heads
Aftermath
Between The Buttons
Their Satanic Majesties Request
Beggars Banquet
U.S. albums don't count--The Stones didn't choose those running orders, cover artwork or album titles and there's plenty of overlap with their British counterparts anyway.
