I seem to recall that Time Waits For No One was shortened, and faded out just as Taylor's solo began.

I don't think it's amazing. I get the feeling this is something Jagger and a sound engineer threw together in a couple of weeks because they couldn't figure out what to do.
It's not a greatest hits album, rather a collection of b-sides, outtakes, live and studio recordings. Leftovers, kind of. It is not bad, 70s material seldom is (can't be, really).
The cover? Is it fab or just plain vulgar? Decide for yourself.

It does fade out during his solo:
This version is 4:25 while the original version is 6:38.

I love that it doesn't include Miss You and Emotional Rescue, even though those are terrific songs - I guess that Sucking is more of a spiritual successor to Metamorphosis for me, a collection of oddball, deeper cuts that somehow sound cohesive and work together.
Made In The Shade and Rewind are both great compilations, but Sucking is a solid alternative comp if you're burned out on the classics.

It's more of a follow-up to the hits (and oddball-tracks) compilation Time Waits For No One, perhaps?

I remember at the time that it failed to reach the top 10 which broke their longest streak of top 10 albums of any artist if my memory is correct.
It wasn't held in particularly high regard at the time. While I think 'amazing' as a descriptive may be generous, it is a really good collection of songs and can at least be justified in part by the fact that many weren't or still aren't available anywhere else.
I think the 2006 "Rarities" release would be it's closest companion.
Sucking in the Century as it were.

When viewing the contents, only "Everything is Turning to Gold" stands out as interesting. We don`t need another "Beast of Burden", to say the least.

I absolutely love this album, I bought it when it first came out and it introduced me to a whole world of Stones songs I never heard before.
This was my third Stones album that I bought and I loved the live cuts, If I was a Dancer and of course Everything's Turning to Gold

When The Whip Comes Down (live 1978) and If I Was A Dancer were interesting, too.
And Everything Is Turning To Gold was already released three years prior. The other two were not.

Time Waits for No One was only released in Europe and marked the end of their Warners contract.
