Like the Beatles, The Rolling Stones got separate releases for their US and UK editions as well as the Stones homeland issuing a few more tracks on top of a complete resequencing.

Shuffle 'em all you want, all the tracks are great.  The standouts of course are in a similar theme: "Stupid Girl" and "Under My Thumb."    The biggest radio hits are "Paint It Black" (Number One on Billboard in June 1966 for couple weeks) and "Lady Jane," which didn't chart here at all.

Although I've had this album since the early 80's, and even though this was one the Mars Bar jukebox, there are tracks I don't know.  "Going Home" in it's epic Them "Gloria" nicking splendor and "It's Not Easy" and "I Am Waiting" stood along side "Stupid Girl" for the tracks that got regular jukebox play at Marz.

That leave me wtih "Doncha Bother Me," "Think" "Flight 505" and "High and Dry" as the tracks I didn't remember after my last spin of this album around the time I bought in circa 1983.  They are all great, particularly "Flight 505" which conjures up Chuck Berry without the Jagger/Richards credits being dropped from any track on the album.

The tracks that didn't make the US version: "Take It Or Leave It," "What To Do" and the mega-standard "Mother's Little Helper."

What a drag it is getting old!

Nobody really listens to Bob for blind spiritual uplift or at least I didn't.  The Christian records were the voice of a wrathful God and everybody ripped "Wiggle Wiggle" apart when Bob just wanted you to enjoy life and dance. For me, I look to Bob to push intellectual, sonic or my own nostalgic buttons, if I'm gonna be hon
