Created in spring/summer 1973, it was first in use - both sides of Atlantic - for the 'Goat's Head Soup'-related issues.
While in the USA Promotone BV is always present onto labels, all my original British 'It's Only Rock and Roll'-related records miss Promotone BV, as copyright controller on labels.
On top of that, some of my Bitish Kinney distributed 'Sticky Fingers' read Promotone BV onto labels (1974-1977, therefore), but the EMI's 'Exile on Main St.' (1979) still reads Musidor,
as copyright owner.
So, we have two heavily ABKCO controlled albums (SF and EOMS) undergone different treatments: SF passed to Promotone, EOMS remained to Musidor.
Is there anybody here who can tell the history of Promotone BV well, please?
Wikipedia will tell you where their ware-house is, but will give no details on Promotone BV operativity...
Thanks, Luca

That's because it's an offshore holding company set up in the Netherlands.

Why are SF & EOMS two heavily ABKCO controlled albums?

A lot of songs on both album were recorded in embryo before 30 July 1970, when ABKCO lost the copyright control on the recorded music of the Rolling Stones.
