In Milan we were 10 people in the line but only 1 (one) copy available!!! So just for the first guy in the line. Thanks to him, we had the pleasure of listening to the song there in record shop!

I do not think the shop assistants are doing anything illegal by holding on to a few copies themselves. Perhaps it is unethical but I cannot blame them. Wouldn't you want a copy of it, and it is right there.
illegal? I don't know. But I guess if they keep records for themself or – worse sell them on ebay – they get blacklisted and never get any special releases again.
It is happening for each RSD, owners or shop assistants are holding the most valuable records and the stuff is sold by friends or relatives on eBay. No risks to be blacklisted.

I was on line for the NYC location for about an hour. I was 7th in line and there were about 15 people total in line. Owner came out 5 minutes early and said they only got a shipment of 3 copies which went to the first 3 people in line. I was a little ticked that he didn't do some sort of raffle to make it fair for everyone who waited in line for a while. Oh well.
I personally really like the song. A rocking blues number. I think it's a great way to kick off the album if it really is the first track.
A user on Reddit sent me a very clean sounding version of the song which I can send to anyone interested. Just reply with your email!!
I agree...in the end hardly anyone got something...wasted some of our time....Quote

Please release more copies of "The Cockroaches" vinyl single "Rough and Twisted"
This is an open letter to The Rolling Stones management and marketing people. Please release more copies of "The Cockroaches" vinyl single "Rough and Twisted". Same format and price US $10.07.
May be numbers 0001001 to 0100000 i.e. 99,000 more copies, im addition to the initial release of 1,000 copies only. Normal channels, larger volumes, kill the black market current asking $1,000 to $2,000 om eBay. Then very disappointed fans will be pleased, and everyone will be happy. It is a long time to wait until the new album is being released in July.
On behalf of all Stones fans - Thank You!
Well, I have to disagree. A limited release should remain limited. It's a matter of trust. But they could release the song digitally.
They could have released the single without numbers, or in another color, or in another form. My main concern is that they were running a massive campaign, with posters, teasers etc, people queued for hours etc. And 99.9% of the fans got nothing.
Now fans have to wait for three months to get the song. It is painful, bad treatment of fans.
Also, they have a bunch of lawyers who cost a fortune, closing any posting of the song in any form online, like it was porn or something. At the same time, social media allow all sorts of AI crap where Mick or Keith are holding a baby with cancer, or other types of fake images and text, with no actions from the same lawyers.
Strange.

In USA the price was US $10.07. This is like we spell the date of the album release in Europe, i.e. 10. July. Just random, or on purpose.
Below I have done a screen dump of a reddit video from Italy, or Brazil or Portugal. The price seems to be 25.00.

PS. May be the below picture is from the shop in Milan, Italy, where they had only one copy for sale?
