I bought the 2-CD edition. I must say it's a very fine reissue. Love the book-like CD case. You can feel extra care was taken for the reissue. A beautiful object actuslly. Of course I wish the original album wasn't remastered so loud, but I still have the original CD - which sounded perfectly fine by the way. The bonus disc makes an interesting listening. Early takes on some of the album tracks would have made it even better imo.If only the classic Stones albums could be reissued with the same care...

no essay of any kind or actual recording dates is extra care?

then what "extra care" was taken? 35 minutes of session material, some of the songs on there are edited

I mean packaging, additional pictures... and additional tracks. From these you get a good feeling of the sessions, which I think was the intention (actually the bonus CD is called "TIC sessions"). And the album is still great after all these years. So,, yeah a nice 2-CD set to hold and to listen to.
By the way, if you absolutely need the notes/essay you still can get them with the super deluxe edition (with a lot of goodies).

Something very strange happened to me yesterday.
I got a package from the official Keith Richards site, it looked like a vinyl shipping box, but I didn't order the LP version at his site.
When I opened it there was a signed cardboard paper in it, so this was probably missing in the super deluxe box, which I didn't open yet. If not I have no idea why I received this item without any explanation.
Anyone else had this experience?

I only have the normal 2CD set so far. Nice and very "cheap" (12 EUR in Germany). But to be honest the bonus songs didn’t blow me away. The only real good song is Mark On Me (the rest is more or less jamming around), obviously the known bootleg take, but suddenly faded out. Why did they not also/instead include some alternate versions of album tracks? It seems there were not many good outtakes left - all great songs from the sessions are already on the original album.

I like disc 2 but it seems there is probably more stuff out there

What country are you in? I am still waiting for my signed box to arrive here in France. Strange indeed if you didn't order it

In Germany, I received my signed wooden super deluxe shipment in one parcel but in two separate packages. One packaging as you describe above with the signed print and one packaging with the heavy wooden box. This arrived about 2-3 days ago.
