I don't need another compilation (although I'm sure one is on the way), but I've always missed a second part to The London Singles Collection: a box set with the A-side and B-side singles from 1971 onwards.
Besides, some of the B-sides are relatively hard to find.
They could release a version with just the A-sides (2 CDs???) and a limited box set with all the content (As & Bs) (4 CDs???).

That TATTOO YOU font on the vinyl label is hilarious. Not every vinyl edition had that font. I haven't looked at every edition - perhaps they used the SOME GIRLS font somewhere?

Regardless of what it will be called, hopefully the possible hits compilation will include the UK single mix of Plundered My Soul, which is much better than the mix on the EXILE deluxe album, as well as No Spare Parts, Scarlet, Fiji Jim maybe a couple others if there's rom, and whatever from HD and the 2026 LP, hopefully including Tell Me Straight. The original album regardless of where had no Keith songs - maybe it could include Happy and Little T as well.

There's a picture somewhere of the band on a couch in 2012 and Keith's boots say SIXTY LICKS on them. I thought that was much better.

Why there hasn't been a Rolling Stones Keith Richards songs comp...

There've been a release named "Rarities" incl. B sides and live versions you mentioned.

A-side and B-side singles from 1971 onwards

In 2011 there was the 'The Singles 1971-2006' - [www.Discogs.com] - now out of print, but still available digitally on [Music.Apple.com] . Maybe there'll be a new box set 1971-2026 in the future.

The 'Rarities 1971-2003' was released in 2005 - [www.Discogs.com] .

Correct. However...
'The Singles 1971-2006' is in a category of 'for postal stamps collectors.' Hardly it is enjoyable listening for an average fan. You know, that is a pain to change a CD every 5 minutes. Also, a couple of discs are barely listenable. Sure, some have respectable running times — CD 41 (Out of Control) clocks in at 44:21 — but who is realistically going to sit through seven dance remixes in a row? I would prefer something less radical. Something that fits on four standard CDs (which would still give more than five hours of playing time). They could easily drop some of those remixes and lose nothing. Something in format of 'The London Years' (3CD).

And let’s not even start on Rarities 1971–2003 .

Ah, ok. A singles collection which could be listened to like an 1971-2026 Anthology. Dunno if it's that was Ricky meant in his post above.

Since 1971 it has not been London/Decca/ABKCO anymore — it is Rolling Stones Records.

I really have only two issues with The Singles 1971–2006:
- too many discs
- too many dance remixes, while a couple of interesting mixes are missing
But you can’t always get what you want.

And, for sure, an anthology-type, properly ordered presentation is more interesting than the mishmash of tracks found on Jump Back, Grrr!!!, or Honk — and, as a matter of fact, on Rewind 1971–1984 as well.

In the late 1980s Rewind was a favourite amongst my friends and I as we navigated our high school years. It got plenty of play at parties or at the warm-ups for parties where we might have had to endure Tone Loc, Kool Mo Dee and DJ Jazzy Jeff.

I still have a cassette and CD copy of this fantastic compilation.

Rolling Stones Records ended with, as far as I know, the Jumpin' Jack Flash 1991 single.
