We don`t need another "Beast of Burden", to say the least.

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.
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.
I have the "Rarities" album on vinyl, which has it`s similarities, and containing "If I Was A Dancer". The Puls magazine`s Arvid Rønsen was over himself when "Rarities" came out, speaking of "heaven".

are the three compilations that add something to a standard/medium collection (and I like them).

Usually I'd agree with you, but the sequencing and deep cuts on this album make Beast a really welcome palate cleanser, right at the end of the album. The way it just kind of saunters in after Crazy Mama and ends the record with a mid-tempo, relaxed feel, makes you want to dive back in straight away at the beginning with Shattered.
I'm probably overthinking it, but I really think the tracklist and order on this album is sublime.

I always thought Everything's Turning to Gold was a perfect fit for the Some Girls album. Wonder why they didn't include it with the super deluxe?

This has become my go-to Stones record, I just love the track selection, the sequencing (Everything is Turning To Gold - Hot Stuff - Time Waits For No One - Fool To Cry is a killer run of songs) and the way they included some deeper cuts alongside the btter known tracks - not that there are any real warhorses on here.
Up against Rewind I'd take this selection any day. Always thought the album art was cool as well.
Anyone else dig this comp?

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.
Correct, it reached #15 on Billboard ending a string of 26 consecutive albums in the Top 10 between 12x5 and Emotional Rescue.
That string of consecutive Top 10 albums remains an all time record up to this day.

Did anyone else peel the Stones tongue off the wrapping and stick it onto the front of the album at the time? To this day, when I buy a CD and there is a sticker on the wrapping, I try to peel it off and then stick it somewhere on the CD cover.

And I would wonder whether it's fair to consider SITS as a proper release. As it's classified as a compilation album, in that case why wouldn't the other compilation albums also be thrown in there (or are they?). Does this also include the live albums?
And if you were to take SITS out...does that string of top ten albums continue to today, which would be remarkable.

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?
Time Waits for No One was only released in Europe and marked the end of their Warners contract.
Time wasn't released in Canada or the US but I know it was released in Mexico. My sister went on holidays there from Vancouver and bought me that along with Doors 13. I thought Sucking was released in North America because Time wasn't released here. Only song I listen to off of it is When The Whip Comes Down.

Of course it's a proper release. MADE IN THE SHADE made #6. LOVE YOU LIVE #5. Besides, all albums are compilations, technically speaking.
REWIND did much worse than SUCKING did, only getting as high as #86. Hell, JUMP BACK went to #30 when it was finally released in the US in 2004. And it sold a million copies.

Was 1985 the first year they didn’t put out either a studio album, complilation, or live album?

Yes maybe my question wasn't entirely clear. What I was asking was whether that 'unbroken streak' included live albums and compilations. Otherwise I can't imagine for example, More Hot Rocks as having the made Billboard Top 10.
In that case, their record wouldn't have lasted to Emotional Rescue anyway. And Metamorphosis...was that top ten (maybe that wasn't a US release?)?
Just did a little of my own research and both those also cracked the top ten...unbelievable! I have my answer.

More Hot Rocks reached #9 and Metamorphosis #8, everything released from 1964 up to 1980 reached the Top 10 in the US.

Yep, if regional releases count (Time Waits For No One, 1979).

Well if we're going back that far, you could almost throw Big Hits and Fazed Cookies in the mix.
In that case a bit of a tradition of odd compilations.

There wasn't even a single. 1985 was Stonesless.
1987 and 88, in regard to the band, not ABKCO, as well, with a single, anyway. Then there's 1992, 2000 and 2001.

2000 must have been (by then) the only year without a single Stones-related release. I might have missed some obscure compilation, though.
