Hei, sorry but I'm not sure. My guess would be that Decca also had a share of the rights because the songs were recorded during the '69 tour, and before the time of Rolling Stones Records(?)...

That´s true, I left that bit out as we all know that But the rest of what I said is accurate.

Record company contracts generally let the company reject any song/album the company deems unsatisfactory. The performer is required to provide something else to fulfill his obligation.
