An update, some sequence rearranging (this track listing is 79 minutes) and a properly remastered reissue of it would be huge.

too many compilation albums already out there, a video hits dvd would be a good idea though.
they could expand on rewind and maybe some promo videos from the 60,s added in too.
all nicely packaged.

What's the reason for the edited tracks? Only because of the running time to fit on a CD?
With Harddisk-Players or 200GB+ SD-Cards/USB-Thumbdrives it's quite easy to make an own Best-Of Album.
At e.g. the PonoMusic Store (US) or Qobuz.com (Europe) you'll get the appropriate files in lossless CD-Quality or HD.

Compilation albums are outdated on today's market, their latest compilation did sell poorly even with a tour and 2 new songs on it.
Its all about streaming and digital tracks, anyone interested on the Stones are buying Hot Rocks or Jump Back, that's it.

It should have good songs, not bad songs.

Of course. And that is exactly the reason why I suggested to remove Fool To Cry and add One Hit To The Body instead.
A removal of Waiting On A Friend and adding Feel On Baby or Winning Ugly would also make sense (to me).

Do those songs even have videos? We're talking video compilation here.

There was a quite cool cartoon-clip for Harlem Shuffle and the video of One Hit To The Body belongs to their very best videos (in no way a dental chair experience, although Mick´s voluminous hairdo makes me smile in hindsight).
When I first saw the One-Hit-clip I was very much impressed, top notch song and excellent video.

No reason. Rewind was just another compilation. It may have spoken to the 60's generation for whom it was the last compilation that had certain relevance, before they got settled down, but that's not reason enough to let it go back in print.

It was a contractual release, to mark the end of their distributors for that era. It's also a really good career review from 1971 to 1983. I doubt it spoke to the 60s generation since it had nothing on it from the 60s - and anyone from the 60s may have already owned MADE IN THE SHADE, the Stones' first compilation album, that has 1971 and 1972 tracks on it that would speak to the 60s generation.

It had no relevance at all in 1984, it remained on the Billboard 200 only 11 weeks peaking at #86, for about 18 years (until Forty Licks) it was the only compilation album released on the States which included all the hits from Brown Sugar to Undercover, yet only reached the Gold status on May 2000, it took 16 years to sell 500,000 copies even with over 10 years of monsters tours (1989-1999) as help and the CD re-issue on early 1987.
They should re-release their last compilation album Grrr and drop the price a lot, 10 dollars for the 50 tracks or something and that one will sell a lot for years to come, right now their only album selling is Hot Rocks which is not so priced.
