Tracklisting & More Information

This was actually the second run of this box set. Unusually the first runs did NOT include the single sided 7".
The first runs the year before were on the red boxed logo label. This second run was 'spiced up' to improve sales by the inclusion of the never before released 'Cocksucker Blues' track.
Teldec thought they'd played a master stroke to boost sales, but Decca in London were not so pleased. Decca had refused to release it in 1970 & had not been consulted about this particular issue & therefore demanded that it be withdrawn and the track removed.
Copies like this WITH the 7" were just about hitting the shops when they had to get them withdrawn, so very few actually made it to be available for purchase by customers.

Even though, as a rarities compilation it is extremely well put together and contains many rare and hard to obtain versions, both the first and second issues of this box set sold poorly, making finding a very early copy of the second issue with the 7" today a particularly hard job.

This box set remains in wonderful condition with the laminated picture box showing very little shelfwear. The seam at one corner has given way but that's about it.

The vinyl inside remains near 'as new' & the illustrated tracklisting inners are also in fine fettle.

So, here it is, the only legitimate release in the world, ever, of the infamous Rolling Stones track that Decca refused to put out.
What is quite amusing is that for this legitimate release, even TelDec (Tel[efunken/]Dec[ca]) in Germany had to source the track from a vinyl bootleg !
