I've both of them in vinyl but, contrary to what it was supposed, the versions are the official ones. Hence, there's no sense to issue them in bootleg.

Can't prove it by posting official material. But I got that CD from Hungarcity appr. 2 years ago. One week somebody uploaded 'Promotional Album' and '2120 S.Michigan ave. - The lost blues album'. Both disks were bootlegs made from 2002 SACD remasters.
Just checked Hungercity. Both are gone.
Also there is entry like this
Rolling Stones, The - Promotional Album
Label: Mecca
Catalog#:Rsm1
Format: CD, Unofficial Release
[www.discogs.com]
And Mecca is known for putting together singles and remixes

The rumors that there are alternate tracks on this album are very old, as well as the belief that there are lots of counterfeit versions with the official tracks circulating.
My belief is that these are ONLY RUMORS, since I have never seen anyone produce one of these recordings. But, I wouldn't be mad to be proved wrong!

HI EVERYBODY, FROM WHAT I REMEMBER ' LOVE IN VAIN ' IS A SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT MIX, AS THIS TRACK WAS UNRELEASED AT THE TIME, ALL OTHER TRACKS ARE THE NORMAL VERSIONS, ALSO ALL THE SLEEVES WERE MADE IN THE USA,& AND ALL THE ALBUMS WERE MADE BY DECCA IN THE UK, THE COPY I HAVE IS THIS WAY,WITH ALL THE CREDITS ON THE REAR OF THE SLEEVE HAVE A BLUE LINE THROUGH THEM, AND THE PROPER UK CREDITS ADDED. CHEERS THE RIFF

Again, the LIV versions on both RSD1 and RSM1 are the official ones.
The fact that it was an alternate take is just a myth.

I believe you! How on Earth did this rumor get started?

IT'S NOT AN ALTERNATIVE VERSION, JUST AN ALTERNATIVE MIX, ALTHOUGH I COULD'NT TELL THE DIFFERENCE,THE INFORMATION CAME OUT OF ONE OF THE BOOKS ON THE STONES, EITHER ROY CARR OR DAVID DALTON, BUT I CAN'T REMEMBER WHICH ONE ?, I HAVE SO MANY.
