Yes I'm sure. Some of the early titles were pressed there then shipped here to be placed in their cover.
No wonder mono wasn't working. The US mono is a fold. Yes, only released 5 years later in the UK on Stone Age.
Current play.... Muddy Waters/The Rolling Stones - Live at the Checkerboard Lounge, Chicago 1981 (2012)
You are clearly referring to an actual Spanish pressed LP (not just a reuse of that cover art) that not only inserted Let It Rock in place of Sister Morphene but also 30 seconds of silence in protest!
I think before but would have to check, I only have a 1980 Spanish pressing and right now I can't even promise you the silence was retained on this reissue.
Correct, hence my comment about it being a cover only. It does come with a 2nd disc of extras though....
Yes it is the 2 disc deluxe Sticky Fingers of which far more were pressed up with the regular jeans cover art.
I played my Japanese / EMI/Toshiba early or mid-80s (green obi) pressing of Exile on Main St. the other night and was surprised at how nice it sounded. All tracks including ends of sides were dynamic and luscious.
Played at breakfast today........ Beat Beat Beat 1965 Oval Decca Logo Copy German Record Club 10" Also pictured at right the 2nd and final pressing in 1966 with the Rectangular Boxed Decca Logo
Early copies of the first 5 US titles were pressed in the UK for export, this includes the white label promo's of their debut England's Newest Hitmakers. N.b. Unsurprisingly any FFrr UK Exports with blue stereo labels are very rare!
