<<Why OOOH (US) and not UK?>>
Since I listed that one as well, I'll offer my thoughts.
Being from the U.S., I'm not averse to having hits on albums. It's nice to hear a couple of hits thrown in without having to resort to a compilation album. It makes the sum total of that particular slice of their recording career seem more realistic.
And despite the fact that the album is shorter (and sometimes, shorter is better), I also like the difference in sequencing, and it makes a nice change after listening to the UK version for a while--plus you get some choice cuts like It's Alright, Spider and The Fly, and One More Try.
On most days, I'll sit down and listen to these albums back-to-back in chronological order, so the UK version of Heads would make Now! and December's Children slightly redundant.
Oh, and yes, for the reasons I've mentioned above, if you had titled the thread "Rank your 5...", I would have listed December's Children as #5, because it's short and sweet with several great tracks, and, of course, a couple of big hits (without all the high tide and green grass).

It's Simple...these 4 in any order:
Let It Bleed
Sticky
Exile
Some Girls
By the way...the best engineered Stones album by farconsidering when and
where it was made is BLACK AND BLUE...hands down.
The worst is a toss up between these three:
Goats Head Soup: Made in a sub-par studio in Jamaica and instruments are completely out of tune.
Emotional Rescue: No depth...no bottom...sounds like someone smacking a tight napkin...crazy bad considering some of the tracks were from the Some Girls sessions which sounded amazing
Dirty Work: A complete lost producer and engineer...horrible engineering and mixing.
