As I recall, the LP was released at a reduced price because it was considered a throwaway, cost little to produce, and not worth what a "real" record was, and the note was part of that explanation.

And BTW there is a systematic bug (probably, defective glass master or defective master tape). All the CDs I have heard have a skip at 0:08-0:09 of the 1st track. Some drives just hang in that area when you try to rip the track.

At the tender age of 14 I didn't understand why the letter was in the package anyway so I must have thrown it away.
If that is a rough cut on the tape it has characteristics (wave front) that puzzles CD-ROM during ripping. The drive starts to correct errors at that point. Some drives return reading error in accurate ripping mode and refuse to continue. I have 2 CDs - Italian as pictured above and UK pressing from EMI Swindon factory. Digitally they are clones. And both have problem point I mentioned above. The same goes with CDs in my friends collections.Quote

That's not just a rough cut on the tape? I thought this is on the vinyl too.

Despite Atlantic's promotion at the time claiming the session was from "last year," it was from April 1969. One theory for its release was that since Ry Cooder was extremely vocal that he was ripped off and the Stones did a sponge job on him, they released the session (or edited highlights) to show just what he contributed. By crediting the songwriting to Hopkins/Cooder/Watts they circumvented ABKCO and kept the publishing wit'h Promopub. "The Boudoir Stomp" has a passing resemblance to "Midnight Rambler," but these are jams, not songs. At the time, Jagger and Richards were able to find inspiration in such jams to build songs. Obviously Mick isn't interested in working with Keith that way any more, but much of the long-standing arguments over songwriting credits being denied lie with jams such as these. More recently, some of the EXILE bonus tracks in 2010 were developed from jams such as this with at least one track largely consisting of Nicky playing piano as the basis for a "new" song.

Keith missing recording sessions eh?
I was always bemused as to why Mick was happy to release this when far more worthy material was to lie in the vaults for 30 plus years. Oh and still does, in many cases.
