According to Japanese booklet that was included for Japanese only SHM-CDs (UICY-40031 or UICY-76017) Luxury (as well as Time Waits For No One) was trimmed and Fingerprint File was speed up to fit to LP. The initial master tape was kind of too long (49:12) to fit the LP with reasonable sound quality. Thus, original LP and old CBS CD have Luxury 4:31 and FF 6:37 Virgin CD - Luxury 5:01 and FF 6

They should have given this track to a DJ and do not record it at the first place . It is a catchy tune but too far away from what old farts used to. And for the video... Nothing is wrong with the video, but also nothing to do with 'classical' Stones either. Totally in vein with 'Scarlet', 'Criss Cross' and 'Living In The Heart Of Love' videos.
